Hey there! I am Azarus part of the utopian dev team, i am happy to show you some progress I've been working on in the past week.
Utopian Moderation
Previously when moderators had to review the contributions, they just simply had to approve contributions if its matching the quality standards and is not against the rules, otherwise reject them.
This process ensured that only quality contributions are published on utopian. But there is still a problem. Most people tend to hit the required quality and get the bounty for it.
While some others put in a lot more effort and they are rewarded the same amount. This is sort of an unfair rewarding system which this contribution is focusing on to improve.
This new feature encourages contributors to publish higher quality contributions and encourages them to put in the maximum effort in order to get the maximum amount bounty. While lower quality contributions will receive less bounty.
I just finished the moderator questionaire and it required quite a work, The quality slider feature for the utopian frontend is now ready. I also added a few changes to the backend as well to ensure it works perfect.

I would like to thank the Moderators & Supervisors for providing their suggestions and ideas for the questionaire. It wouldn't be possible without their help!
Here's how the final moderation questionaire and quality slider looks like:
Answering the questions during the review process will allow the utopian bot to give higher or lower amount of upvote.
The calculated score is the weight that is provided to the utopain bot to calculate the final voting weight.
A moderator also can alter 20% of the score with a quality slider and rate the quality of the contribution:
How does it work?
With this new feature utopian moderators gain the power to review each contributions invidually and by answering the questions determine the quality of each contribution accordingly.
On top of that the moderators are allowed to set their oppinion on the quality of the contribution.
How is it calculated?
From the maximumn 100% score 80% is set from the questionaire, the rest of 20% is up to the moderator to evaluate the quality of the contribution.
I am looking forward to see this feature improving the quality of contributions and providing the needed benefits for utopian.
