RE: Utopian: The New Utopian Bot is Out! Now Everyone Gets a Piece of The Cake!
Now everyone gets voted by the bot, ALWAYS.
As long as you prevent abuse and the moderators work on ensuring users get rewarded according to the effort put in. I assume you do, because I personally see no reason why a simple interface translation or feature suggestion get the same upvote from the utopian bot as a major contribution to an open source project.
With great power comes great responsibility. But I am sure you know that. :)
Well @techslut there are the moderators and still the weight is based on the params we already had. Low quality contributions may end up getting almost nothing because a small portion is reserved to them! :)
Good. Quality moderation and fair rewards are key to attracting more developers to the platform. I tried to get one of my SOs to join. He looked at the feed and was like: "Why is this guy getting so much for a 4 line code contribution? It's worthless!"
So... as much as I try and recruit developer friends, there are still challenges. Perhaps what @scipio suggested might help - better copywriting and FAQs for newcomers. Heck, took me forever and some personal support from you guys to figure out what's what in order to attempt a contribution. Simplifying that can go a long way.
In any case - keep up the awesome work, man.
I agree @techslut. In the new version of Utopian, ready within few months, project owners will also have some sort of control on the vote weight so to bring a more human approach into the voting flow ;) We are on everything! :D
Perhaps you should have challenged your SO. "Don't you see? You're a much greater developer. Do you imagine how much more you can make?"
Yeah, I am trying. Not easy. Men. :sigh:
Lol. In due time. :D
