We do need some serious changes in the front end.
Whether it would be something like ecency or any other is best decided by the developers.
However, we need to have a governance process to make the proposals. Whenever the proposals are funded by the community there is a consensus obtained through voting and then the results are published. So if it is a proposal then there should have been an option to vote for the same.
One of the value additions of holding these tribe tokens is to provide value to vote on the proposals. I would request @leprechaun to add two more comments YES and NO.
Every one in the community would have the right to vote in favour of or against the proposal. Then based on the #pob power each account votes for or against the proposal should be counted. If the powerful votes are more in favor of the proposal then the same should be declared as passed or else failed.
