In and of itself, I think that every stakeholder has the right to vote - decisions on the HIVE-Ecosystem and in which direction go its funds do feed back to Splinterlands eventually (and please correct me if I'm wrong, not too knowledgeable yet). Having a big stake in the Ecosystem, the SPS DAO absolutely has a right to vote. I don't think abstaining from votes is the right way (unless there's no compromise within the team on how to vote).
Maybe I'm still too tired, but I don't quite understand the problem - is there a believe that the Steemmonsters team will abuse of the voting power, against the decisions made by the SPS DAO?
Ultimately this proposal aims to ensure that all members of the DAO understand explicitly what the governance voting proxy means and that the DAO collectively has informed consent on the decision to proxy our HIVE governance voting to the @steemmonsters account.
Or is this whole proposal just for information purpose?
The issue was that the DAO has not expressed clear consensus for each issue/witness the team may vote to support. Personally I don't think there's really much chance of having the DAO micromanage its own HIVE governance votes at the moment due to the nature of HIVE multisig. It requires us to get 6 treasurers online within a 1 hour window to get anything done which can be very difficult as we're spread out over the world.
The "easy" solution is to just trust what the team does with its HIVE stake. Is that the right solution? I can't really say, but I do feel like this proposal should make what you're voting on/for absolutely clear so we can't say the DAO was unable to make an informed decision on what it agreed to here.
Thank you for the explanation! I think we should trust the team to make educated decisions that favor Splinterlands. So, if I understood correctly, I will vote against the proposal.
Thank you for making it public and assuring that everyone has a say (and understands it 😅 )!
Yea voting against it means "don't change anything" basically.
Done, thank you!
