Hey there! I am Azarus part of the utopian dev team, i am happy to show you some progress I've been working on in the past week.
If you're an old member of utopian you probably experienced that every contribution is evaluated & rewarded the same way. This causes developers & contributors to publish lower quality contributions just to hit the bare minimum to be approved. The new system helps reducing this effect by allowing moderators to answer a short questionaire and rating the quality of a contribution.
I've just added the moderator questionaire feature to the utopian backend api as requested to allow the questionaire and quality slider feature to be implemented as described in the issue.

Of course the questions in the picture are just examples.
Here you can read about the proposed questions & answers and their ratings:

It accepts input from the Moderator frontend to submit questionaire data, allows the Questionaire & Quality Slider to be stored on the steemit platform, Stores Moderator Questionaire in database, Store Moderator Quality Slider score in database.
The implementation is done in Node.js / Typescript.
Based on this information the utopian bot now will be able to give higher or lower upvote based on the quality of the contribution.
Looking forward in future to see this promising feature improving the quality of contributions and providing the needed benefits for utopian.
