RE: Implement a Contributor Timeout Function instead of Manual Bans to Utopian.io
Good idea! You could even implement a post cooldown. Ex; nobody or only some people can post more than twice a day!
canPost = lastpostDate + 24h > now || isEliteMember
well... I was just discussing something like this over at Discord. The problem with this is that "spammers" simply create multiple accounts, thereby circumventing a "max cap for posting". And on the other hand, suppose somebody - a quality content producer - would want to make a full-time job of contributing to Open Source / Utopian: as long as their content is good, I see no reason to limit the amount of their contributions.
For your first point, wasn't that supposed to be fixed with UA? For your second point, That was the "elite member"reason.
Partially: UA (I will finish the code) can be used to identify spammers by analyzing their followers. But in a Utopian context, we already have manual reviewers: the moderators, and only manually approved contributions receive an upvote. On top of that UA can be implemented as a metric inside the Utopian bot code as well, analyzing the UA of all manual upvoters as a metric for the weight of the Utopian upvote to post X itself.
And the "elite member" I understood of course, but then the problem becomes "who gets to determine if authorX is or is not an Elite Author"?
I don't know I guess post reward+quantity
Maybe UA itself again :P
