#MySuggestionsforGateSquare To ensure Gate Square grows its user base and maintains a welcoming, high-quality environment, we need systems that gently guide new users and effectively manage content.

1. Small/Quick Fix: The "Verified Onboarding" Checkmark
• Suggestion (Small): Introduce a quick, visual incentive for new users to complete their profile and make their first quality post.
• Detailed Improvement: When a new user joins, they see a simple checklist:
1. Complete Profile (Photo, Bio)
2. Make First Post using #MySuggestionsforGateSquare (or other seasonal hashtag)
• Upon completion, the user temporarily receives a "New Contributor" checkmark next to their name for 7 days. This signals to the community they are engaged and gives their initial posts a slight visibility boost, encouraging their continued participation.
• Benefit: Low friction onboarding, instant gratification for new users, and a noticeable boost in profile completion rates.
2. Major Feature: Community-Driven Content Moderation (Scott-Sized)
• Suggestion (Major/Scott): Implement a transparent, token-staked system for community moderation to manage spam and low-effort posts efficiently.
• Detailed Implementation Plan:
• The 'Custodian' Role: Users who have achieved a certain activity level (e.g., 50 high-quality posts, 90 days active) can voluntarily apply to be "Square Custodians."
• Staking Requirement: Custodians must stake a small amount of GT (or other token) to join.
• Voting Power: When a post is flagged as spam or low-quality, a small panel of Custodians votes on whether to remove it. If their vote aligns with the majority/system outcome, they earn a tiny reward; if they vote against it, they lose a fraction of the stake.
• Benefit: This scales the platform's moderation capabilities using community expertise, ensures fairness through decentralized voting, and incentivizes users to police the quality of the content they consume, saving significant development team resources.
3. Detailed Content Improvement: The 'Engagement Heatmap' on Profiles
• Suggestion (Detail-Full): Introduce a visual Engagement Heatmap on every user's profile, similar to GitHub's contribution graph, showing their activity and influence.
• Heatmap Metrics (Detail): Instead of just green blocks for posting, the heatmap uses color intensity to represent:
• Darker Shade: Days where the user's posts received high engagement (likes, comments, shares).
• Lighter Shade: Days with low-engagement posts.
• Indicator Dot: Mark days when the user made a "Featured" or "Top 10" post.
• User Benefit: Provides clear, visual feedback on what type of content performs best.
• Community Benefit: Instantly allows users to identify highly influential and consistently active contributors, making it easier to follow the most valuable voices on the platform.
