As per the Utopian Public Poll 12/23/2017 find below the updated rules.

The following are updates/enhancements to existing rules. Please read all the rules here: https://utopian.io/rules

A special thanks to @espoem for having reviewed and updated them.

Contributions should be in English

Contributions should be in plain English and fully understandable. The only accepted exceptions are:
Contributions under the Tutorials and Video Tutorials Category, and Blog posts.

Development Rules

The contribution will be rejected if the Pull Request wasn't merged within the last 30 days.
Projects must have a README file for installation and usage.
In this category you can only write if you have developed or contributed to the development. Simple and common code snippets can't be submitted in the development category.

Translations Rules

Minimum 500 words per translation contribution. Text that is supposed to remain untranslated (links, code, paths, ...) or duplicated strings/text can't be included in the minimum.
If the provided translation is obviously machine-translated, the contribution will be rejected.

Visibility Rules

Moderators may reject the contribution if they believe that there are not enough results for the contribution to be rewarded.

Graphics Rules

You must provide the editable files, as PSD and similar source files. Flatten and rasterized layers are not editable.
Logo designs must be in a vector format unless the project owner specifies a different format.

Blog Post Rules

You must provide an original and a unique editorial content of very high quality that is strongly related to the promotion and development of open-source related projects. Blogs must have a unique and consistent format.

Moderators

For contributors, remember that Utopian Moderators reserve the right to a) verify acceptable posts, b) deliberate and review pending posts, and c) flag/hide posts that do not follow the rules or posts that are of very low quality. Additionally, moderators reserve the right to apply temporal or permanent bans who have shown a history of consistently disobeying the rules.

Every moderator works on a specified set of categories and is assigned to one supervisor. You can see the spreadsheet with the moderators teams here

Utopian bot

Utopian can unvote the contribution if it is found out that the contribution did not meet the rules and had been upvoted by mistake. This decision considers cases such as attempts of plagiarism, copying work and ideas of others or other violation of the rules which would be obvious to see that the contribution does not deserve the reward.

Utopian Community-Driven Witness

We are made of developers, system administrators, entrepreneurs, artists, content creators, thinkers. We embrace every nationality, mindset and belief.

Utopian.io is the first Community-Driven Witness. Every decision will be taken as per the consensus of the entire community using our public Discord server and soon via a public voting system.
