Hard Rules VS Soft Rules To Avoid Immediate Rejection - More Rules Changes
Hard VS Soft Rules
After the latest rule update and rule update #7 BIS we gathered even more feedbacks and came to the conclusion not all the rules should lead to immediate rejection.
This is why now you will see rules marked as [SOFT] in https://utopian.io/rules. If you break these rules the Utopian Moderators will still accept your contribution by advising some changes.
- The only scenario where your contribution will be rejected if you break a [SOFT] rule is once you have been notified about the same mistake multiple times.
Other Rules Enhancements
Blog Posts
Blog posts must be part of a series. You must use the provided template and link other blog posts of your series
If this is the first blog post of a series you are going to write, there must be clear explanations and expectations about the series you are going to propose.
Translations
The contribution will be rejected if the submitted translation is older than 7 days since the submitted contribution. This rule does not apply for proofread translations.

- Write utopian-io and vote or set utopian-io as a proxy
- Use Steem Connect for Voting Utopian as a Witness
- Or Use Steem Connect for proxying your vote to Utopian Witness


These changes direct point of an idea "community first". Wonderful!!!
Thanks for revising it. It sounds too harsh to reject it immediately.
good imagination in opensource........
stay with it
excellent blog
I still don't understand the whole witness thing, can someone break it down real simple?
Witness are those maintaining steem Blockchain servers. If you vote them and they improve their ranking, they get paid more.
so they are the ones actually mining the steem?
I'm with you, its a little confusing...
Hard and soft is like good and bad,one can do without the other
Thanks for the update.
