RE: Utopian reputation and scoring systems
You see, the contributions are meant to be useful to someone. Some contributions are useful only to the project, some are useful also to the open source community in general, and some are useful to the community only. In every case, there are people who should be able to see the quality of the contribution.
Utopian has opened the doors to other people with deciding who can be voted and how high their reward can be. Since Utopian is built on top of Steem blockchain, the decision can be done only within several days.
I can see few cases when this can happen. There are many contributions so it may be overlooked by the readers, which means they will not score that contribution, or there is no person familiar with the project that could actually score the contribution.
Anyway, moderators currently score reviewed contributions, so this should not happen. A quality contribution can be discovered only when it is read. We are not able to predict which one is the good one and which one is worse just by reading the title.
As I mentioned it in the post, the networking and growing the Utopian fan base is important in this system. We are not looking only for the numbers, we are looking for meaningful comments and feedback too.
Which things do you mean are missing?
In my opinion current readers or even utopian users isn't enough or prepared for this system and any human can make mistakes, We can't achieve decentralization without justice.
Current scoring system can be abused in many ways by multiple accounts for low quality contributions or even plagiarism.
This means that system can be abused, Why you're waiting to be abused and waste power by unvote when you can use an algorithm in utopian through artificial intelligence or a even an advanced algorithm.
What if the platform users or daily topics going to be millions how mods can manage all that huge posts also humans can make mistakes but AI is learning and more accurate and faster and this is a perfect example of decentralization.
We have seen that translation category taken down because of abuse and the weakness of humans/mods with huge amounts of spam and I expect the same scenario with the current process without AI beside humans will take the hole system down.
I've also seen so many trivial suggestions/bugs posts has 60-50$ vote about 9 Lines post without any hardwork all that happened after scoring system.
Do you still think score system is fair ?
In my opinion current scoring system is useless and isn't professional and so easy to abuse by high score rank or newbie users It is irrelevant to a decentralized platform.
Utopian team needs to stop wasting time for system depends on humans and must be prepared for any abuse scenarios by using BOTS/AI.
