My feature request is to decrease the voting power of Utopian.io's votes on contributions that have received one or multiple downvotes. I shall present my suggestion in detail below.
Utopian.io currently ranks the contribution posts based on many things such as reputation of the user, quality of the post, length of the post etc. It also has decreases vote power on contributions that are using bots. But still, it sometimes votes on posts that don't deserve the votes it receives.
Since Utopian votes with very high rewards, I think posts should at least have a decent level of grammar and a readable format. If a post is posting the whole thing as a bold text, most people won't read it because it is distracting.
Downvoting these posts do not have any impact on how much upvote the contribution receives. So, some poorly written posts may get a higher upvote then a post that is well written and well proofread.
If such thing were to happen, it would discourse well written posts and encourage low quality posts. That's why I think adding a penalty for posting poorly written content is necessary. This would encourage users to proofread their articles before submitting them so that they are in good shape.
Also, in the bug report category, contributors sometimes don't give enough information about how to reproduce the bug. Downvoting those posts will encourge the posters to improve their posts. This is something that would definately increase competition among contributors. My suggestion is that for each downvote worth 3 cents or above (for abuse protection), the voting power should decrease 2.5%.
More competition = more quality improvement.
Another small suggestion unrelated to the main contribution. The "Synch with Github" button should be renamed "Sync with Github". I am referring to this button:
I am suggesting this because Sync is more commonly used word compared to Synch. Most big services like Mozila, Google etc use the word Sync.
