Terms of Service, Privacy and Website Cookie Policy

In order to comply with European regulations, upon your next login you must accept the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy to browse and use Utopian.io.

Utopian Wallet (from Busy.org)

With this update, you will no longer need to use steemit.com or busy.org to manage your Steem wallet. You can now safely perform basic transations and operations in your wallet directly through Utopian.io.

Since Utopian.io was originally forked from Busy.org, all we needed to do was just extract the amazing wallet from Busy.org and implemented it in Utopian.io.

Contibution Quality Scoring Questionnaire

To improve contribution approval processes and reward contributors fairly, we've implemented a contribution quality scoring questionnaire for Moderators to rate contributions reviewed by them. Using the questionnaire, Moderators can easily rate and score each contribution based on different criteria according to the category of the contribution.

Moderators may also award a manual addition of up to 20% of the total score calculation at their discretion. Supervisors may review a questionnaire already filled out by a moderator and make changes to the scores entered at their discretion.

In the near future, the questionnaire score will be implemented as a metric for calculating the voting weight of the Utopian bot.

Moderation Cross Editing

To solve the most common error in contribution submission, Moderators can now change the contribution category, repository and tags on behalf of the contributor.

FAQ

Utopian.io now offers a dedicated section for FAQs to answer the most common questions about Utopian.io and the STEEM blockchain.

The FAQs can now also be accessed non-registered users on the website directly from the Utopian Feed.

Profile Filters

Contributions displayed on a user profile can now be filtered based on their status. Contributions can be browsed by Reviewed, Rejected and Pending.

Moderator Profile Filters

Utopian user profiles designated as Moderator users will now show contributions reviewed by the moderator, and filter them by date and status.
