Some time ago, I wrote an article on this topic which generated a lot of responses among users here. I even tried to make a suggestion on how I think moderators should be rewarded. For this, @Read.Cash responded by giving a detail analysis of all they have tried to do to give moderators reward but failed. Reasons are moderators couldn't be trusted when left alone.
Since the time the first article was published, I have been thinking and searching for a way that could best solve the moderators reward issue. This is because I know @Read.Cash is also looking for a possible and safer solution to the matter. I think I have found a possible solution to this issue.
Before going on to explain my findings, I will like to state my position here. Why am I bothering myself about moderators reward? I know someone might be thinking I have a busy community that I created, which I want to earn reward for moderating. Truth is that, I don't have any functional Community that I created on read.cash. The only Community I created has only two members as at the time of writing this article. But I am a co-moderator in one of the largest community here. That been said, let us go to the subject of this article.
How can this be done?
As I said above, I think I have a way moderators can be rewarded without touching the read.cash funds. The proposal that am trying to make here will be a community based. What this means is that each Community members will be the one rewarding moderators directly from every tip they received on their articles within the community.
How will this work
There should be a set of rules to be provided to every members of a community requiring an agreement to support fellow members within the community by direct tipping.
Anyone who do not agree to rules to support fellow members shall not be admitted to the community. Those who are already in the community should be sent a notification to the agreement, and anyone who do not agree can be removed from the community by the moderators. To do this, read.cash should provide moderators a feature to be able to have statistics of Community members and their activities within the community.
Since it will be a joint support, a percentage of every tip recieved from tipping on members articles shall go to the moderators. And a percentage of all that a community moderator recieve shall go to the read.cash funds. In this way, money will be circulating within the read.cash ecosystem.
Read.cash should provide a feature that will enable authors set the percentage of how much they can give to the community. A percentage of say 50/50 will be good.
Something like the screenshot above can be provided to enable authors set a percentage to support the community.
Every members must agree to support fellow community members by direct tipping. Anyone who fails to support others within a period of five days shall also not received support from the community for a period of say two weeks. To do this, there should be a feature that will prevent anyone from tipping such author's article within the community.
There should be a notification feature that can notify community members of a new submission. Also a notification to always remind members of their obligation to support the community.
A maximum of one article to be submitted into a community daily by each author to prevent abuse of the system. This will also enhance quality submissions.
There should be a community wallet where all the funds recieved in that Community goes. Only moderators will have access to the wallet.
If this kind of system is implemented, read.cash will be a community based platform. And there will be more earnings for everyone, and the read.cash funds will keep increasing on daily basis. Remember, you will also be earning points as usual from the random rewarder.
Every one of us here must have to be sincere, we all came here to earn money, but we never think of a way to give back to the system to keep it running for a long time. So many of us here are so selfish. We received tips most times but we never give to anyone. The system am trying to propose will be a system that will make all of us sponsors of Read.cash.
Just think about this and make your suggestion on the comments section.
I think this should rather be a maximum of one because if you say a minimum of one article per day , it will rather cause abuse of the system but also I have a problem here, what about the content creators who post two or more per day and in the same community?? Does that mean they don't have to work like how they used to work?? Because for me I create up to two posts per day and i submit it to one community and if you say a maximum of one do you mean I should join more communities then so that I can submit both articles or you suggest I stop writing like I do?
