Building on the shared concern here about minimizing noise (e.g., +20 comment requirements) while still recognizing meaningful engagement, we’ve actually been refining a concept called the Peer Recognition Score (PRS) that solves this exact trade-off. It’s designed to replace arbitrary quantity metrics (like the +20 comment rule) with weighted peer validation.
This allows a delegate to remain quiet and watchful, posting just one high-signal analysis, and still unlock the Activity Boost if their peers validate it. Unlike a simple “5-like” threshold which is easily gamified, PRS uses an algorithm to weigh likes based on the forum user’s reputation/ “likers” thus providing clear rules without needing subjective committee oversight.
As we reframe the Activity Boost for Governance V2, would anyone be interested in seeing the adjusted parameter for this framework to make it more relevant to lazy summer dao? It’s still a work-in-progress, but we’d love to post it here to get your feedback on potentially using it as an objective “Quality Metric”.
