Dynamic pay2post and post limit

Objective: To address community concerns related to the current fixed pay2post fee on r/ethtrader, this proposal aims to mitigate the current imperfections to the current system by implementing a dynamic pay2post fee formula based on post ratio and score.

By making the pay2post dynamic, we can make sure that more posts don't result in a loss of donuts. This can be done by changing the pay2post fee according to post ratio, and post score data.

The formula: This is the formula I came up with to make sure at least 75% of posts break even, or result in a net gain of donuts for every round: Fee= Post Ratio × (Q1 score -1) For example, the fee would have been 110 Donuts for round 129, and 120 Donuts for round 130. For this formula, Q1 represents the score needed to break even. Additionally, a maximum of 250 Donuts would be implemented for the pay2post fee.

Reducing spam: However, making the pay2post fee dynamic poses another issue: if it is easier to post on this subreddit to earn donuts, some users could take advantage of the system and spam the post section with low effort posts. This is why this proposal would also implement a limit of 4 posts per day for each user. We can figure out if this needs further adjustments in the future.

Voting options: [YES] Implement Dynamic Pay2Post Fee Formula with 4 Post Limit: Fee= Post Ratio × (Q1 score -1)

1. Introduce the dynamic fee formula based on post ratio and Q1 score, with a maximum fee of 250 Donuts.

• More precise: at least 75% posts always break even, or result in a net gain in donuts.
• Spam prevention with post limit Disadvantages:
• Unpredictable pay2post fee: the fee is calculated after the snapshot. // [NO] Maintain Current Pay2Post Fee Structure:

1. Posts will continue to subject a fixed 250 Donut Fee
2. No daily limit for posts. Advantages:

• Simplicity and ease of understanding for all users.
• Predictable fee. Disadvantages:
