Be sure to upvote your friendly Utopian moderator!
I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the awesome work being done by the team of moderators on Utopian! Utopian is the first (and I believe only) moderated community built on Steem and as such they are setting the standard and paving the way for how moderated communities can work on the platform going forward.
Moderation is of the utmost importance on a platform like Steem where there can be financial incentives to make a bunch of useless spam posts. So therefore I believe that it's also of the utmost importance to have a great team of moderators who are appropriately compensated for their work!
Of course the moderator team does receive some compensation which comes from the beneficiary pool of the posts made through the site (which you can see here: https://utopian.io/moderators), but even with STEEM prices through the roof I think they deserve more. Luckily there’s a super easy way to give them a little extra “thank you” for the work they are doing - simply upvote their comment when they approve your Utopian post!
Whenever a Utopian moderator approves one of my contributions I give their comment a 100% upvote, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. It doesn’t cost you a thing, and you know that you’ll get the nice Utopian upvote on your post thanks to their approval - I think that deserves an upvote to say the least!
If you want to take it a step further, you can even upvote the moderator comments on contributions that you like which aren’t your own - but be sure to also upvote the contribution post as well!
Even if you only have a small amount of Steem Power, I think the vote can still be a very nice show of gratitude for the great work that they are doing day in and day out.
You might think that their job is easy - and they do make it seem easy - but it’s actually a lot of hard work. I know because I was one of the first Utopian moderators when the feature was initially added and I ended up having to bow out of the role because I couldn’t keep up with the work!
At that time Utopian only had a few contribution categories, a small list of rules, and probably about 1/10th of the posts to review than it does now, so I can’t imagine trying to keep up with everything the moderators need to be on top of these days!
It’s great to see all of the votes, delegation, and support going to the great projects being contributed to through Utopian, but let's make sure that the work of the moderators doesn’t go unnoticed.
So the next time your Utopian contribution is approved - be sure to upvote your friendly Utopian moderator for making it happen!

Thank you for the contribution. It has been approved.

Thank you.
We lack rewarding comments in the steem ecosystem. For the Utopian case, moderators sometimes spend 30-40 minutes to review a single contribution. So, I strongly believe these moderation comments have a great value.
We have also a bot - upvoting moderation comments of moderators. If anyone want to support mods, they can delegate to that bot account as an additional option. :)
I didn't know about the utopian tip bot, that's an awesome idea! I should have some delegations returning soon and will send some to that!
great news! 🎉
Absolutely right.
Since from my first project in utopian-io, all the moderators were very helpful and encouraging with the directions they have given me on writing a new project.
I resteem this post so more people can hear.
