Utopian.io has a bot powered by 3 MILLION STEEM POWER that votes through the contributions. We receive a LOT of nice suggestions for many Open Source projects but we think it is time to stop micro features requests and micro suggestions in the Ideas category in order to create more value and move the smaller suggestions on a specific category this Monday.
We have seen the Utopian Bot voting up to $80 micro suggestions that don't deserve such a huge amount and on top of that the Ideas category in Utopian was never meant to be used for small features requests.
Kickstarter Approach
This is what we have in the rules https://utopian.io/rules
Ideas/Feature requests Category
Contributions submitted under this category are the most important ones, therefore they must provide as much details as possible. Ideas and feature requests must be well explained and in great details. They must include images or videos and include any necessary information for the idea/feature to be created.
When we wrote this rule we had in mind a very specific approach, a Kickstarter approach, where ideas are:
- Well Structured
- Well Documented
- Well Designed
- Well Presented
We have been soft so far because the platform needed more traction.
From now on if you wish to publish in the Ideas category in Utopian you will have to make a beautiful presentation and explain your concept in great details. Micro features requests are not gonna be accepted in Utopian any longer in the Ideas category.
EDIT: You will still be able to write suggestions in a specific category we will create just for that. We will write an update once the new category is available.
If you wish to see an example of well presented ideas, go and visit Kickstarter.com. That is the quality we wish to see in Utopian in the future and this effort starts just now.
