Proposal Moderation Improvements

[jasperverbeet]

I'm on the dcip.finance project (https://snapshot.org/#/dcip.eth) which get about 20 new proposals a day and that number is growing quickly. Most of our users don't have time to go through +20 proposals everyday, so we're looking for ways to improve their experience. Snapshot is great as is, but it's also paramount for our community so these improvements are important to us. We don't use the default Snapshot UI, but we're using the same API's.

Up/Down Voting

We need a way to up/down-vote proposals to show that the proposal itself is of high quality even though you might disagree with the contents. For example, if the proposal itself violates our community guidelines we (as admins and community members) should be able to demote it, and on the other hand if it's a good proposal we should be able to highlight it. Basically: sticky proposals, up/down votes (like reddit), and flag as in violation of community guidelines.

Categories or Labels/Tags

Letting the user assign a category like "💡 Ideas" or even (predefined labels) would improve the overview of issues a lot. Currently, there is just no way to sort proposals based on their subject. For example, we're striving towards a complete DAO, which means we have proposals for our day-to-day development as well as business related proposals, sorting those would benefit the needs of different users on our platform.

Sorting and filtering

Currently, there is no good way of finding a proposal that has been made even yesterday (because of the sheer volume). We definitely need better options to sort or filter, sorting by popularity (or even total votes) being the most important to us. Also, a way to filter based on body text, title, and categories/labels would improve the findability of a proposal by huge factor.

Marking option as positive

It would be nice if we could mark options as either positive, negative or neutral (like a boolean/null) so that we could create better automated logic on whether a proposal was "approved" or "denied" by the community.

Linked proposals/follow ups

A nice to have for the future would be to be able to create proposal flows. So say for example, we want to make a decision to invest funds into a new project, you might want to split it up into multiple proposals: generic information, what are we creating, what do we invest into dev, what do we invest into design, etc. Only if all proposals are approved you might want to start with the work. We often find ourselfs in a situation where everyone agrees something needs to be done, but we don't have all the information when creating the proposal so we have no clue on what to actually execute. If we could make proposals flows that would be a very nice feature!

Awards

Although being another nice to have, being able to let certain users reward a proposal would be very beneficiary to us. So say we have a proposal for an investment, when a market expert (whitelisted by the admins) is very positive about a proposal he might add weight to the proposal by giving it a reaction/reward. Similar to the critics reviews on Rotten Tomatoes this would give the community a better idea on the quality of a proposal on very complex topics.
