Thanks @codingdefined for you review! This is my first @utopian-io post to get approved. Very exciting. 🎆
Is receiving a Utopian upvote separate from getting a post approved? The interface seems to have changed since I last tried using it (now you just have to use the two leading tags) and https://utopian.io doesn't show any posts.
Check out the Bot Queue: https://utopian.rocks/queue "In Queue" means "just waiting for the Bot to upvote. :)
Thanks, that's very helpful and reassuring to know that my submission did not get lost in the void. Looks like I'm currently tenth in the queue:

Yup, i believe the bot did not miss any article so far, even though some of them have been upvoted after 5 days. So that´s pretty close to the 7 days window - It already happened for your article :)
Interesting. I wonder if the @utopian-io voting bot software is configured to reduce the voting-power threshold should the backlog start nearing 7 days.
I could imagine an algorithm where the oldest post in the backlog determines at what power to vote. For example, if max_age < 3 days, vote at 100%. If 3 < max_age < 4 vote at 90%, etcetera. Even better could be a continuous function (rather than a step function).
Yeah, but wouldn´t that be unfair? If your post gets to the upvote bot later (because sometimes it´s just pretty full) then you get less - even though your post may be worth more in general...
Less unfair than not getting a vote at all because your post expires. I don't see any other solution than having an adaptive voting threshold. But perhaps there is a more elegant implementation.
Also it's not necessarily a bad thing to encourage posts when the usage is low, to help create a consistent reviewer load.
Well.. that is true. The problem is, commits have to be 14 days old max, so sometimes you cannot wait for a less full queue. But I am sure they will come up with something good if needed :)
@kirkins do you use @utopian-io? I was under the impression that getting your post approved would result in some sort of upvote to reward the contribution. Doesn't seem to have happened yet.
I think they have it so it waits till 100% voting power and then votes a bunch of posts all at once.
Currently the bot for Utopian contributions waits until 99.75% and then upvotes the oldest contribution in the queue. Those votes in the screenshot are for paying the moderation team and others that you will mostly see are for the innovation trail.
