This is a feature request for Utopian.io's upvote policy. My suggestion is to decrease upvote strength of users who are posting more than two approved contributions per day. This would help preserve the voting power of Utopian.io's main account.
Utopian.io has many categories of which idea is one. Suggesting ideas is much easier than finding bugs, writing code or developing a software. So, this category receives a lot of contributions. But sometimes users may post many low quality contribution posts on the idea category to get a lot of upvotes from the main account of Utopian.
This would give a lot of rewards to some specific users and deplete the voting power. If posting many posts lead to decrease in upvote strength, users will be discouraged from doing this. My suggestions are stated below:
If a user posts three contributions, the third post will receive a -20% upvote if it normally would have received a 50%+ upvote. For example, littleboy has published three posts today. According to current parameters, he would receive a upvote of 80% in his third post. But if my suggestions are implemented, he would receive a 60% upvote.
If a user posts three contributions, the third post will receive a -10% upvote if it normally would have received a 25-50% upvote. For example, John has published three posts today. According to current parameters, he would receive a upvote of 40% in his third post. But if my suggestions are implemented, he would receive a 30% upvote.
If a user posts three contributions, the third post will receive a -5% upvote if it normally would have received a 10-25% upvote. For example, Satoshi has published three posts today. According to current parameters, he would receive a upvote of 20% in his third post. But if my suggestions are implemented, he would receive a 15% upvote.
If a user posts three contributions, the third post will receive a -2.5% upvote if it normally would have received a 0-10% upvote. For example, Satoshi has published three posts today. According to current parameters, he would receive a upvote of 8% in his third post. But if my suggestions are implemented, he would receive a 5.5% upvote.
What if the parameters lead to a post receiving 0% upvote?
In such a situation, the post will receive a 1% upvote.
Thanks for reading and if the admin is interested in this feature, I am open to discuss it further.
