Hi @chamadao!
1-
Both CRs for Designing the Reporting and Information function and the Questbook Season 3 proposal were already considered. We take notice that we didn’t consider the [Non-consitutional] User Research: Why build on Arbitrum? Communication Rationale and fixed it. We encourage you to put your CRs in the Forum so is easier to track them.

As the proposal explains, a delegate can achieve a better score with fewer comments because the Delegate Feedback parameter prioritizes QUALITY over QUANTITY.
Proposal - Delegate Incentive Program (DIP)
Under this system, a delegate could achieve the same score with (for example) one big significant contribution or by making several smaller contributions. It also discourages actors who might try to take advantage of the program.
The purpose of the rubric is to encourage delegates to provide feedback only when they have something valuable to contribute, rather than trying to game the program. If a delegate attempts to increase their “Presence in discussions” multiplier with low-value comments, their score will likely be negatively impacted.
Regarding comments scored with zero vs. marked as invalid:
I would also like to know what considerations are taken to qualify some comments with a score of zero instead of just marking them as invalid. If marked invalid, the score is unaffected, if marked with a zero, this lowers the average score.
Comments marked as invalid could be due to:
- Being a comment that doesn’t add value to the discussion.
- Being identified as a rationale, thus considered under the Communication Rationale parameter.
- Being a comment in a Delegate Thread, which also qualifies as a rationale.
- Being posted in a thread not included in the analysis.
- Being merged into a single rubric when multiple responses were posted by the same author within the same discussion.
Comments marked as valid but scored with zero are those that the program administrator deems irrelevant to the discussion. As you pointed out, this negatively impacts the scoring. The goal is to discourage spammy, repetitive, or shallow comments—such as those generated using AI tools.
