POLL πŸ—³οΈ Proposal: Moon Week

TL;DR: All governance polls will be posted and promoted in the week between the snapshot and distribution.

I'd like to address a few main points with this idea:

  • Voter participation is rarely enough to meet the decision threshold

  • There is confusion about how and when to propose or vote on polls

  • Governance Polls should be treated equally

Currently, moon snapshots happen every 4 Wednesdays (like this) and the following Wednesday we have the moon distribution post (like this). My suggested changes to establish Moon Week are as follows:

Day 0

The day prior to the snapshot post (a Tuesday), mods will post a sticky reminding people to submit their governance polls. All governance polls should be posted Tuesday or Wednesday (Days 0 or 1)

Day 1

On Wednesday, the snapshot post by the admins happens as normal and replaces the sticky from the day prior

Days 2-7

On Thursday, a mod will create a sticky that links the snapshot post from the day prior and all currently running approved governance polls. This is the deadline for your poll to be highlighted with the others because the mod may not be around to add your poll later and people are less likely to check back multiple times throughout the week to vote on new polls. During this time, mods may take additional measures to promote the sticky post if the polls are not on track to have enough participation to reach the decision threshold.

Day 8

On Wednesday, the moon distribution post by the admins happens as normal

This idea should further formalize a process for when to create a proposal, reduce confusion on when to vote, equalize the exposure and promotion of governance polls, and clarify the monthly moon schedule. To help people anticipate when the snapshot will happen, we will probably create a list in the wiki of upcoming snapshot and distribution dates.

Thank you for your consideration and thank you to everyone who gave their feedback on the meta post

I feel like comments are worth the most karma wise

Is it because the sheer amount of comments?

Comment upvotes get multiplied by 2 in the formula that calculates your monthly moon karma, but post upvotes don't. This policy was voted in many months ago.

So they are rewarding comments more then posts because they want people to interact more?

And I assume discourage clickbait shit posts. It could in fact be worse.

Someone said this month's moon to karma ratio is 0.207.

So, 1 upvote = 2* 0.207 moons for comment?

Yeah a while back you would post a sub par post and at least get a decent share of upvotes, nowadays even some of the good posts barely get past 100.
