We at Utopian would like to keep you updated and aware of our progress in improving and developing Utopian for you. In the regular Utopian Weekly posts on Fridays we’re happy to share all the latest Utopian news and updates.
In This Post:
One of our most awaited releases and major achievements as a growing company on the Steem blockchain is the Utopian Signup Module we launched this week. With the Utopian Signup Module, anyone with a GitHub account can create an instant and FREE account on the Steem blockchain.
We’re currently running the service on a test network to ensure it is secure, free of bugs and abuse-proof before taking it live. We look forward to using this module to bring more Open Source developers to Steem and rewarding even more contributions to inspiring projects.
In order to simplify and scale our processes, we have integrated a number of new automation systems to allow the team to properly verify, review and reward contributions.
Built in Python, the Utopian bot spots contributions already reviewed by our moderators, and sorts them by the highest score based on the review results generated on https://review.utopian.io
Aiming to incentivise and reward insightful quality post comments from our moderators and community members, we have built a tipping bot. These comments will be manually selected by Utopian Community Managers and will receive a significant 1% upvote from the bot.
We hope this will inspire you to share your valuable insights with Utopian contributors.
To mitigate moderation mistakes and wrongly scored and voted contributions, the unvote bot spots contributions that should be unvoted and unvotes them.
Our Moderators have been provided with a predefined comment footer containing a link to the review metrics used by our Moderators when scoring a contribution. The contributors can use this information to improve the quality of their work.
We’ve received multiple contributions to our task request to create Utopy, our Discord presence and mascot. It was no easy choice, but here’s our winner - this adorable design by 
The official launch of Utopy on Discord is planned for tomorrow (Saturday) at 6PM (GMT +3) and you are all very welcome to meet him for the very first time.
To ensure all communications between our team and community are professional and cohesive with the company views, we’ve released an internal Team Handbook. In addition to a list of tools and resources for moderators and community managers, the handbook includes standards for replying to contributor tickets, leaving insightful comments and providing feedback to other community members.

We hope that these guidelines will help streamline and unify the communication between the team and community across all channels.
Growing demand for additional moderator to the Development and Bug Hunting categories led us to add three new moderators to our team. Say hi!
We’re cooking up a lot of interesting things for you:
