In Utopian.io we have been running a public poll to make the decisional process democratic. The public poll is on Discord.

Changes to the rules and to the platform were discussed and soon implemented during the Utopian Poll 12/23/2017.

Results of the Utopian Poll

For the development category, we should allow only pull requests that have been merged recently (no longer than 30 days). [RESULT: YES]
Moderators and Supervisors should be divided into categories and a single moderator/supervisor should only review a specific category. [RESULT: NO]
If moderators will be only allowed to review specific categories, should we have developers moderating the development category and also make sure the repository does not contain any obvious unsafe or outdated code? [RESULT: NO]
Blogs posts should be in any language and not English only. [RESULT: YES]
Contributions under the Translations category will be rejected if they are obviously machine translated. [RESULT: YES]
