This proposal addresses the increased amount of post spamming on r/Ethtrader by proposing a fee to post for users who are registered to receive Donut distributions. This fee would disincentivize spammers by causing them to sacrifice a large portion of any rewards they earn without putting undue burden on normal and productive sub members.
Specification
- Each post will incur a fee of 250 Donuts
- At the end of each distribution, the total number of posts made by each registered user will be tallied and the total fee will be deducted from any earnings received.
- In order to ensure that spammers don't cheat by deleting old posts, the Automod will create a record of each post/poster for the purpose of tallying fees.
- Deducted donuts will be removed from the distribution and will NOT be issued.
- After fee is taken out of the distribution, the amount mods earn will be recalculated based on the reduced distribution amount.
- This fee will apply to all posts, regardless of flair type.
- This fee will NOT apply to r/Ethtrader members who are NOT registered to receive Donut distributions.
- The fee can be adjusted in the future through a governance poll.
