Proposal to restrict rewards qualification to a threshold

We can debate whether this is good or bad, but Origyn rewards for having voted during a 24 hour period. As of now, we do not have a difference between proposal types, but that is coming. If there are 15 proposals in a 24 hour period and you vote on one of them, you get the whole reward. We are more of an industry-focused blockchain, so we expect most votes to be via liquid democracy. We don’t expect users will make the minimum effort because for example, we expect the luxury group to follow other industries outside of luxury because they know those groups can better govern themselves. The general philosophy is that like the specialization of labor in a marketplace, specialization of governance produces a much healthier governance structure than maximum participation. As long as we provide for the ability for people to jump into the fray when it does become relevant to them, most of the time it is advantageous for them to delegate votes to those who “know what they are doing.”

I’d like to see the NNS do the same. I think rewarding for having participated to a minimum threshold should qualify for the whole reward. This can be generalized to require that the user has voted for(or had a delegate vote) at least one proposal in all eligible categories during the rewards period. There is still a possibility of spam up to n=1 for each category, but expanding the window to 1 week instead of 1 day might get us to an n of 1 in each category.
