This bounty proposal aims to continue incentivizing Polkadot Moderators for their round-the-clock contribution and support to the communities.
The Community Moderators provide a dedicated daily service, actively monitoring new member joinings to ensure the community is protected from fraudsters. They guide users with first-line direction and support while promptly identifying and regulating or banning obvious scammers to maintain a safe environment for all.
The team currently has 10 members covering mainly the official Discord channel, Element Telegram and Reddit. The team has shrunken to 10 since the last top-up. Reasons for the shrinkage can be found in the proposal document
_Note that this bounty is for the members of the Moderation Team (currently 9). While we collaborate with the Discord CM to run the channels, the Discord CM is currently under the Marketing bounty and not the Moderation team bounty
This proposal requests a one-year top-up of $169,632 (46,095 DOT at EMA-7 of $3.68/DOT) to continue funding the Community Moderators from September 2025 - September 2026
Details of the proposal including changes since the last top-up, analytics of servers and channels under our moderation umbrella, etc can be found in the proposal document
Data on previous spends can be found in the team's Airtable Base
We look forward to your participation and input.
This proposal is about giving extra money to the people who help keep the Polkadot community safe and friendly. These helpers are called moderators. They make sure new people are not scammers and help everyone understand how things work. There are 10 moderators now, but there used to be more. They work on places like Discord, Element Telegram, and Reddit.
The proposal asks for $169,632 to keep paying the moderators for one more year, from September 2025 to September 2026. There is a document with more details about the proposal and how the moderators work. There is also a place where you can see how the money was spent before. The people who make this proposal hope you will help and give your ideas.
