I meant people playing Metagame farm cred there too. Several communities use Sourcecred. If I remember correctly Metagame was the first to implement it. Each community computes and tracks cred separately.

Kept thinking about this, probably updating our covenant to address this isnāt the best.
We could add some pollen-specific guidelines on the Pollen section in the wiki, like the criteria for whatās considered gaming and how would the PollenDAO punish that.

@metaverde I think this is a great opportunity to start thinking about better ideas for conflict resolution within the 1hive community. As some of you know, Elinor Ostromās 8 principles for managing a Commons talk about how communities can be governed sustainable and without a central form of authority, and its 7th principle is:
- Provide accessible, low-cost means for dispute resolution.
While 1hive has changed the whole game with Celeste, I think weāre still missing a way to manage conflict at a more human level. This would include approaching newbees with issues like cred gaming.
I would like to start speaking about how Gravity can help with this.
If the community finds this program interesting and helpful, Iād love to volunteer so we can make this a proposal and most likely a course in Morphosis. We could really use some Gravitons (mediators) in 1hive so we can start to see opportunity to improve in conflict, rather that something that decreases motivation and sense of belonging in the community.
UPDATE:
If youāre interested in a deeper dive, hereās a good read. Letās make this happen bees!

@chuygarcia92 this is one of the most concrete steps I have seen taken towards resolving the cred farming issue. I had a skim read of the Gravity covenent and the medium article explaining their purpose and it looks like this will be the perfect solution to resolve low level conflict in 1Hive (not just cred farming). I would be up to get trained if this is offered as a Morphosis course and train to be a mediator. I feel like at least this way I can actually contribute towards taking a step to resolve the low level conflicts. I would also vote for it if this was put up as a proposal.
Hope there is more support from the community here to this initiative. @metaverde I am sure you would support?

Thanks @chuygarcia92 @metaverde for thinking about Gravity as something that could be helpful for this community. Our intention is to facilitate conflict management within DAOs and even between D2D.
For the next graviton training (after July) we want to include members from Giveth, 1hive, Metagame, CS & TEC, so that each community has its trained mediators. Right now we are mapping needs and feelings related to conflict management in DAOs through the Gravity survey so it would be great if you can fill it and distribute it to continue improving our processes.

Hey Juan I assume you are from Gravity. Super cool and interesting concept to deal with low level human conflict. Could I ask if there are any pre-requisites for being trained as a mediator? How can i join the training and is there some sort of a list to sign up for? Would be great if you could elaborate on the training and how to participate.
Also the survey link provided, is it meant to be filled only once per community (or DAO?).

The survey is per person.
Also could probably do one per project youāre in.
thanks meta. I wasnt sure if i should fill this survey out or leave it to someone that knows the community better. Will fill it out as a 1Hive user and hope it helps with gravity team.

Thanks @project_uwb Yes! There are no pre-requisites for being trained as a conflict manager agent. During the first training we certified the people with POAPs, collecting them meant to become a Graviton and be responsible of certain exigences to remain with that status. We aim to promote intra, and inter DAO collaboration.
Iām finding it hard to wrap my head around cred farmers being part of the community.
My wife used to be a Loss Prevention Officer for a drug store. They discovered that the single most effective method for preventing loss was stationing a single person in the one restricted entrance to look the person in the eye and say āHelloā.
It seems to me that doing something like this during onboarding might be very helpful, if we can come up with a digital analogue of this inside our community.

@JuankBell thanks for getting back to me and the links to the presentation. Very cool. Just that I do not see a way of signing up. Do you still run these training courses and where can i sign up and find the next available one? I tried the link on the presentation but it does not work. Also the dates on the training are early this year. Any info on the training schedule and where I can sign up would be great! thanks.

I seriously doubt it will make a dent.
Saying hello to people on the socials is one of the cred farming tactics.

It is, they are also called leeches, in tip.cc there are hundred, thousands probably.
Their favorite words:
TY
Hello/hi
Oh thank you
Sir
Good morning/afternoon/evening/night
Nice
But donāt get me wrong, most of us use those too, but the thing is that they ONLY use those. XD
I think cred farmers here are the king of leeches meaning they have perfectioned their technique until it is almost as if they were true valuable members.
We can learn from the āleechesā In tip.cc or in any other airdrop server. It wonāt solve our problems but it may set us on the right path.
