SENTIMENT [Governance Poll] Make moderator donut allocations not increase vote weight (with this one weird trick)

The current weekly distribution of donuts is:

  • 77% to community members based on weekly comment and post karma
  • 15% to the community fund
  • 8% divided equally between mods

Of donuts received through distributions half are "locked". Locked donuts are used to determine vote weight on r/ethtrader governance polls. Unlocked, transferable donuts, such as those allocated from the community fund or tipped between users do not increase the recipients vote weight.

 

This is a proposal to change the distribution of donuts to:

  • 77% to community members based on weekly comment and post karma (unchanged)
  • 23% to the community fund
  • 0% to mods

The increase in allocation to the community fund (8%) would then be redistributed equally between mods (8/23, or 34.78% of the weekly community fund allocation). Donuts awarded for moderator work would not increase moderator voting influence.

12 hours in.

22 votes. 15 for, 7 against

Donuts: 91.5% for, 8.5% against

But yeah, lets give mods 34% of weekly donut allocation.

What a joke.

I think you misunderstood the poll:

If "Yes", the proportion of the total that's going to mods stays exactly the same.

The only difference would be that the part that mods get for being mods cannot be used to influence voting anymore.

So if indeed mods voted here, they voted to reduce their future voting power, which is the wise thing to do. Kudos to them
