Unless we lower the VP threshold to levels attainable by the existing user base, we will be unable to identify and remove dead POIs easily, and it will hurt the retention of new users as they struggle to identify places to explore.
Abstract
We need the ability to effectively add and remove POIs,
It would require funding development to implement VP thresholds that are adjusted based the amount of VP participating, so until there is a functioning dao team funding updates, this is the most practical solution.
Motivation
There are people who have proposed having their own POIs removed for one reason or another that have not been able to get their POI removed.
Active places that have hosted weekly events for over a year have struggled to get POIs.
The DAO needs to be able to effectively curate the POIs
Specification
Reduce the POI voting threshold to 500k
Impacts
POIs will be able to be created and removed by the community.
Implementation Pathways
Gino, HP, or whoever manages the governance website, now that the Goverance Squad is unfunded will update the variable that dictates VP.
Conclusion
Hopefully Esteban doesn’t let his contempt for me prevent him from supporting this idea and we can get 6 million VP in the final round so in the future we only need 500k to remove POIs
Will someone @esteban doesn’t have an unjustified contempt for please ping him to vote on this?
I can’t think of a reason he wants to continue to make it difficult for the rest of us to clean up the mess that is the current POIs.
Or he can go and redelegate VP to all the people who thought he wasn’t going to remove that delegation when they increased the VP requirements for making and removing POIs
Voting Yes. Given the trivial nature of POI’s as opposed to broader governance proposals, with participating VP far lower than before it only makes sense to adjust them accordingly.
@jar0d I’ll reach out to the squad’s former engineers to get this done as soon as possible. Since there’s no team currently maintaining the platform, they’re all focused on other projects, so I can’t commit to a specific timeline. The change is fairly simple, though, so I don’t expect it to take long once they’re able to pick it up.
Surely we can agree that The DAO has passed this choice, and we as intelligent beings can understand that just because the program needs updating that any new props to add or remove POIs that meet the needed threshold should be considered valid, right?
Because, man there are so many POIs I want to remove, starting with the ones DG sold
Who else do I need to convince this is logical before I start spending hours creating POI removal posts?
@jar0d and everyone: This change has been implemented on the Governance platform. VP threshold for POIs adding and removal has been lowered to 500k VP. Thanks!
