RE: Implement a Contributor Timeout Function instead of Manual Bans to Utopian.io
A very good proposal, but before implementing this competency of moderators also need to be revisited. How the moderators have contributed to open source projects, and their bio would need to be reviewed to make sure, they are at a position where they are justified to be.
Yes that is of utmost importance!
Maybe the exact same function can be used to allow new moderators! For example, in order to become a moderator, you would need at least (for example) 10 approved posts and a "rejection / total ratio" below 0.1 (for example).
I would rather prefer to see how many open source projects they have been involved, their experience in IT industry etc. If yon see the number of contributions in utopian, then most of them are tutorials / suggestions. Having moderators who have vast expertise in open source development would make the moderation more fair and valuable.
Well "tutorials" actually help user-adoption of Open Source projects: the better the users understand how to use it, the more users actually will start using it and eventually even contributing code to it.
But I do agree Utopian could use a higher percentage of development contributions
