DFINITY Foundation’s vote on Governance proposal #80970 (“Spam proposal”) and #86639 ("Temperature Check")

To be honest, what would help is people not openly advocating for removing stakers/voters rewards.

How Would Such a Treasury Get Funded?

There are three options to fund such a treasury:

1. Increase inflation of all neurons
2. Reduce staking rewards from all neurons while keeping inflation constant
3. Reduce the staking rewards from only non-voting neurons (or another group of neurons)

The benefit of the third option, as proposed from @Kyle_Langham, is that this funding mechanism does not penalize voters who are engaged in governance. As such, it aligns incentives to get neurons to properly participate.

I find it incredibly convenient that the spam proposal achieves point #2…while also as mentioned previously doesn’t actually stop spam…just financially disincentivizes it.
