JBP-50 - Compensate Chinese Mods for Emergency Moderation

Proposal date:

December 14, 2021

Provide a comprehensive, 1-2 sentence summary of your proposal.

A payout to twodam.eth, westlife29, linywan , and zhape of $4100 USD (paid in ETH) each in exchange for Chinese-language communication and moderation between November 26, 2021 and November 30, 2021.

What is this for?

Between Nov 26 and Nov 30, 2021, Juicebox DAO received an unprecedented influx of Chinese language new members. Discord membership more than doubled in this four-day span.

Amongst the new members, the DAO and its Discord were also subject to the first scam and spam attacks of note in the DAO's history. Misinformation included links to scam token sales of a phony JBX token on BSC and impersonator accounts on WeChat, Telegram, and Twitter.

To establish Chinese-language communication with these new DAO members and to effectively moderate the spread of misinformation and abusive content, Jango, Zeugh, and Nicholas agreed that they would support a retroactive payout of 1 ETH to four proactive and responsible Chinese-English bilingual contributors in the early hours of Saturday, November 27, 2021. The moderation and translation support these four contributors provided in late November and early December were crucial to effectively handling the challenges posed by this unanticipated community growth event.

Payout Amount

Total: $16,400 USD (which is the equivalent of 4 ETH at time of writing).

• $4100 USD (in ETH) to each of the following addresses:
  • twodam.eth at 0x29EAf8C92648B2eD71Bb8Adb09D1e071117d5218
  • zhape at 0x5706d5aD7A68bf8692bD341234bE44ca7Bf2f654
  • linywan at 0xa0d1a6f30dB260E4D67FE20449a23E7B89537A1B
  • westlife29 at 0xc29c546064e8fb5506c5e5beaf1594866df7177e

What risks, drawbacks, or cons should be considered?

This could establish a precedent of very large retroactive payouts. The authors believe that in this case, a payout of this size is warranted. These four contributors came in at a time when the DAO had a huge need and worked with no guarantee of compensation.
