Utopian Rules Update #6
As per the Utopian Public Poll 12/23/2017 find below the updated rules.
The following are updates/enhancements to existing rules. Please read all the rules here: https://utopian.io/rules
A special thanks to @espoem for having reviewed and updated them.
Contributions should be in English
Contributions should be in plain English and fully understandable. The only accepted exceptions are:
Contributions under the Tutorials and Video Tutorials Category, and Blog posts.
Development Rules
The contribution will be rejected if the Pull Request wasn't merged within the last 30 days.
Projects must have a README file for installation and usage.
In this category you can only write if you have developed or contributed to the development. Simple and common code snippets can't be submitted in the development category.
Translations Rules
Minimum 500 words per translation contribution. Text that is supposed to remain untranslated (links, code, paths, ...) or duplicated strings/text can't be included in the minimum.
If the provided translation is obviously machine-translated, the contribution will be rejected.
Visibility Rules
Moderators may reject the contribution if they believe that there are not enough results for the contribution to be rewarded.
Graphics Rules
You must provide the editable files, as PSD and similar source files. Flatten and rasterized layers are not editable.
Logo designs must be in a vector format unless the project owner specifies a different format.
Blog Post Rules
You must provide an original and a unique editorial content of very high quality that is strongly related to the promotion and development of open-source related projects. Blogs must have a unique and consistent format.
Moderators
For contributors, remember that Utopian Moderators reserve the right to a) verify acceptable posts, b) deliberate and review pending posts, and c) flag/hide posts that do not follow the rules or posts that are of very low quality. Additionally, moderators reserve the right to apply temporal or permanent bans who have shown a history of consistently disobeying the rules.
Every moderator works on a specified set of categories and is assigned to one supervisor. You can see the spreadsheet with the moderators teams here
Utopian bot
Utopian can unvote the contribution if it is found out that the contribution did not meet the rules and had been upvoted by mistake. This decision considers cases such as attempts of plagiarism, copying work and ideas of others or other violation of the rules which would be obvious to see that the contribution does not deserve the reward.
Utopian Community-Driven Witness
We are made of developers, system administrators, entrepreneurs, artists, content creators, thinkers. We embrace every nationality, mindset and belief.
Utopian.io is the first Community-Driven Witness. Every decision will be taken as per the consensus of the entire community using our public Discord server and soon via a public voting system.
- Go here Steem Witnesses
- Scroll to the bottom
- Write utopian-io and vote or set utopian-io as a proxy
- Use Steem Connect for Voting Utopian as a Witness
- Or Use Steem Connect for proxying your vote to Utopian Witness
Undoing a vote is great addition since some contributions have falsely received an upvote in the past. This is important to guarantee a constant quality because moderators are just people as well and sometimes miss something.
Finally comes this rule. It means developers can't just submit their previous projects without new changes.
Only contributors who are posting things that constitute steem abuse defined by steemcleaners' latest community standard update will be considered for bans.
No. Only who abuses the system may be banned
All clear and perfect. Thanks @littleboy and @elear
I personally want to contribute but I dont understand the full content. I will read it few more times to grasp it.
I have read several times but not quite understood. But I still will read again to understand. Because I'm new in steemit
Is there a place where I can get a better big picture idea of what this is? It seems amazing, but I'm really curious to hear about the mechanics of it.
I support you with my resteem service

Good news ! I love your project thanks !
I have to admit that this is a little over my head. I get the gist and greatly admire the level of co-operation and effort needed to get this into play. I aspire to learn as much as I can and hope to feel confident that I can contribute. In the meantime this level of function among many gives me great heart. Much success.
thanks for sharing information post.
This project is amazing! New rules, new contributions.
