In Utopian.io we run a public conference to decide on Utopian Rules and platform enhancements.
Next BIWEELY will take place on Discord 01/05/2018 4PM CET (tomorrow)
Find below my proposals.
This BIWEEKLY will only be focused on rules and organisational issues.
Proposals For Contributors
Any user found harassing a member of the Utopian Moderators or in general any member of the Utopian teams will be banned forever without prior notice. (EDIT: May be also subject to a downvote)
Contributors found to abuse the system by:
- Trying to milk the Utopian Bot.
- Using multiple accounts to abuse the system.
- Keep contributing with low quality contributions even after being notified.
- Plagiarism
- Using Licensed or commercial materials or CC without citing the source
- Tag spamming
May be subject to a Utopian downvote EDIT: and a lifetime ban.
- Time for changing a post after a Moderator requested for changes will be lowered down from 48 hours to 12 hours (EDIT: 24 hours). Every contribution not having the required changes within 12 hours (EDIT: 24 hours) will be rejected.
Proposals For Supervisors
As already agreed on a previous BIWEEKLY Supervisors will have to have a weekly public conference to review the works of their mods. Any Supervisor not willing to do so, will have to step back.
Supervisors will also have to make a monthly report. In this monthly report they will have to point out mistakes made by each of their moderators, the reasons of the mistakes and how to fix it. Any supervisor not willing to do so, will have to step back. We have already an example of monthly report made by the Supervisor @espoem. That will serve as a template.
New Supervisors will only be accepted if they have moderated at least 1000 contributions.
Advisors and Overseers may decide a Supervisor should step back without prior notice.
A Supervisor will have to step back if the majority of the other Supervisors believe the position should be left.
Supervisors should ban moderators if they find them making multiple mistakes, independently from the team they are assigned to.
Proposals For Moderators
Every user willing to be part of the Utopian Moderators will have to write a public Steemit post, proposing his intentions, categories he would like to moderate, his field of expertise and should nominate one Supervisor.
A Moderator will be banned from moderation if inactive for more than one week. EDIT: 2 weeks, unless priorly notified the reasons.
Moderation teams should be focused only on one category. Each moderator will be able to work only in one team and consequently only on one category based on his field of expertise. This will also require to move mods from their current team to another that meets better the moderator know-how.
Reward shares will be calculated on the reviews completed on a weekly basis instead than on the total amount of reviewed contributions.
Translations Category
Increase the minimum amount of translated words from 500 to 1000, unless the entire project has less than 1000 words in total, increasing the minimum rewards consequently.
Only accept Crowdin proofread translations or translations that were merged in Github.
Contributors should always get in touch with project owners to be proofread on Crowdin if they are willing to be rewarded by Utopian or there must be prood the translation was already successfully merged in the project.
Video Tutorials
Increase the minimum resolution to 720.
Should only cover the technical aspects of the project (e.g. technical installation, customisation, etc.) not the user experience side.

Sub-Projects
Remove this category completely and give project owners a way to announce their projects / share updates about their projects.
Task Requests
Should not be votable.
P.S. I may add more as they come to my mind.
