RE: The Splinterlands Watering Hole

Thanks @minisvt.

I'll leave aside the possible 'conspiracy' theories, because I think focusing on that will just get people debating, instead of helping your goal of improving communication.

I would not ask for the team to do this community job , We apparently have multiple 'fractions' (The team ; SPL Company; many kinds of whales/investors/flippers/hoarders/SPS stakers ; or people just loving this game/game-play ; potentially interested folks ; Etc) and they all may have some kind of different priorities/strategies, often conflicting each other.. But all of them are part of community, and we can't exclude some of them.

You are absolutely right - there are a variety of embedded interests, and they can be conflicting at times. I do think that everyone wants an inclusive community, with as many participants and opinions as possible, but it is also up to the community to speak up when they aren't feeling like they are part of it.

About funding, I think it's simple, as it is up to SPS stakers anyway(no need to ask the team etc), and off course I am not trying to push to do this as 'official' proposal, at least before we have this idea clear and structured.

This is critical here. Funding ONLY happens with an official proposal, because there is no other mechanism for SPS DAO to fund anything except what is in the white paper or approved by DAO. And unless you can convince the largest SPS holders that it is in their interest, you won't get a DAO vote through.

And you are right, posts can easily be forgotten or buried - that's unfortunately the reality for most platforms, and forums are susceptible to this as well, when an old, unpopular topic falls to the bottom of the list. It is the job of those who are interested to make sure a topic stays current. The more people that vote, or comment, tweet, blog or scream about these issues, the more it shows that this is important to people, and it gives the idea some momentum.

So unless there is another way, share this with anyone that seems like they would share the same opinion and want a better communication medium. Have them vote and comment. Show the DAO and the company how important this is. You don't need to be the one volunteering, and you don't need to be the one taking a paid job. But if it's important to you, spread the word by any means you can.

And if it helps, this is a safe space to come back and brainstorm or rally support.
