Greetings everyone,
Alice und_Bob, Thank you for facilitating this discussion and all the great work already done.
Just came across the “Uncle Gav needs you!” call two days ago. My feedback expresses the need to create greater engagement in the proposals and discussions and reward valuable contributions within the polkassembly participation. Additionally, I aim to lay the groundwork for future decentralised moderation practices.
To achieve these goals, I propose two simple tools:
-
Identity Verification System: A mechanism ensuring that each participant in a discussion has only one identity.
-
Non-Transferable Reputation Tokens: Introducing a gamified approach to incentivise and reward meaningful contributions while discouraging irrelevant or disruptive comments.
An example of a practical application of these concepts could be implemented when commenting on a discussion or a proposal:
- All participants receive two tokens; one rewards the best contribution, and the other rewards an irrelevant contribution.
- At the end of the voting or the end of the discussion period, the participants, if they decide to do so, can send the two tokens to whom they think fit its definition. When they do this, they receive a reputation token back.
To maintain impartiality, participant identities are revealed only after the conclusion of the process.
These tools can have different use cases in the sphere of moderation and incentivising participation. With JAM pushing AI boundaries for creation and creativity to the limits, we can start building our defences against social attacks fueled by fake news or fraudulent identities.
The idea is to bring a decentralised certified identity and a reputation to Polkadot DAO.
Thank you for reading.
