Moon Governance Proposal: Reduce Moons received from GIF-only posts to 25%

All Cryptocurrencies

After discussions with some users & mods, I believe this proposal is a fair compromise to not discard all moons from GIFs but instead limit them.

TL;DR - GIF's are good fun, but certain users are spamming them constantly Each image here represents a different user in the last month. This is to inflate their karma score for Moons distribution & these posts are plain spam. This proposal will make GIF-only posts count for only 25% of normal karma when being scored.

  • To prevent users circumventing this by posting a word & their GIF, short comments less than 40 characters posted with a GIF on the end will receive 25% of normal karma score.
  • Comments longer than 40 characters with a GIF will receive 100% karma score.
  • Short comments on their own will not be affected, this proposal strictly affects comments with GIF's in them.
  • If you do not post GIFs, your moons aren't affected in any way, if you only post a few, you won't even notice the difference.

The idea here is that by cutting the incentive to post as many GIF's as possible down, we will see people posting GIF's for the fun of it, and not because it's currently the most effective way to farm moons.

This doesn't devalue the special membership - Users who purchase the subreddit membership will still be able to post as many GIF's as they want, they will still have brightly coloured names and they can still post on a brand new account, this proposal will only act to deter spammers.

It also shouldn't affect the users that don't abuse the ability to post GIF's:

Regular Poster Existing System New System
Comment Karma 1,200 1,200
GIF Karma 250 63
Total Moons Earned 363 316

So while the user who posts a few GIFs in a month which results in 250 karma in the old system only gets 63 in the new, because they also post plenty of comments a day, they don't see much of a change in moons.

However, users who do spam GIFs is a different story. Reversing the roles...

GIF Spammer Existing System New System
Comment Karma 126 126
GIF Karma 1,800 450
Total Moons Earned 482 144

At over 300 moons less in the month it makes spamming GIFs a much less attractive option for low-effort posting. If a user wants to earn moons with GIF's they now have to input a little chunk of text, which should slow them down.

EDIT: If anyone wants a more extreme example, this account is <14 hours old, more GIF's than comments and already 260 comment karma...

At current distribution this is hundreds of moons and already more in $ value than the amount spent to get premium membership. Is this ok?
