please find below a draft assessment of this proposal against our design goals . Feedback on this assessment is very welcome!

  • Decentralized & active: Neutral.
  • Secure & available: Neutral.
  • Long-term thinking: Neutral.
  • Efficient & scalable: Neutral. Potentially could become positive by making use of the spam label for filtering, so that users can choose not to see proposals which are labelled as spam by others.
  • Reactive: Neutral.
  • Purposeful: skew rewards, bad content
    • Bad content: Neutral
    • Skew rewards: There seems to be still an incentive to submit spam proposals as it will increase the rewards paid out to active voters.

There is a potential for valid proposals to be listed as spam with a user spam button.
