Governance

Governed parameters are community-editable values that control market thresholds, the economy, and other knobs. Changes are proposed via markets.

Participation — Min samples participation.min_samples

Current value: 5

Min evaluated comments before the score moves from 1.0.

Participation — Moderation penalty participation.moderation_penalty

Current value: 2

Weight of a moderation fail vs a quality-criterion miss.

Participation — Score formula participation.score_formula

Current value: IF(weighted_rate >= baseline, 1 + (2 - 1) * (1 - POWER(2.718281828459045, -3 * (weighted_rate - baseline) / (1 - baseline))), 1 - (1 - 0.1) * (1 - POWER(2.718281828459045, -3 * (baseline - weighted_rate) / baseline)))

Maps the recency-weighted pass rate (weighted_rate, after the moderation penalty) to the participation score. Anchored at 1.0 when weighted_rate == baseline; exponential approach to ceiling 2 / floor 0.1 with steepness k=3 (~95% of the asymptote at the extremes).

Reputation — Recompute staleness threshold seconds reputation.recompute_staleness_threshold_seconds

Current value: 82800

How stale a participation score can get before the recompute job picks the user back up (seconds). 23h — 1h shorter than 24h so the hourly cron has a 1h overlap and a missed run never pushes a user to 25h. Distinct from the cron cadence in recurring.yml, which is deploy config.
