Good day for a @utopian-io community report. 

# Metrics: Week 

*Time period: 27 June - 4 July 2019*

- 1 contribution processed, our lowest week yet
- Mean score of 94 and median of 94 (due to the sample being one)
- No highest or lowest score; the score is 94

All contributions are scored fairly and impartially in accordance with [Utopian policies and guidelines](https://join.utopian.io/guidelines) and incorporating a predefined set of questions specific to the anti-abuse category.

This is a very slow week and I would like to thank @jaguar.force for contributing. I will chuck up the lack of contributions to the fact that several major holidays fell on this week and distracted our contributors.

### Active Assessors for the Week

Anthony handled the assessment of the one contribution this week.

# Metrics: 2019

The **highest** month for contributions was April with 20 posts; the **lowest** was January with 7. June got up to 15 total, which is lower than expected. 

Looking forward to July which will hopefully bring in some new perspectives on abuse and more contributions. 

The total sum of all 2019 contributions stands at **88** to date. (Four of those were subsequently rejected for various reasons but are still included in these numbers as having been received.) The rejections all happened earlier on and not in recent months, when the quality of contributions generally increased.

A total of **19 contributors** made posts under the @utopian-io *anti-abuse* category so far this year. We are hoping to grow this number as more people find out about anti-abuse initiatives or formulate ideas for their own.

The top contributor is still @jaguar.force with 19 valid contributions.

There are currently only three active assessors in the anti-abuse category, although over the lifetime of the category itself we had a total of five. This is just general attrition and people re-focusing elsewhere in their lives for necessity sakes and not due to anything to do with the anti-abuse category itself. It should not be taken as a reflection on Utopian or the category. [No change]

So far, a total of 4 contributions were rejected as wholly invalid for the category and were thus not assessed. This number hasn't changed from last week or the week prior and hopefully will not change in the future. We don't want to get invalid contributions. [No change]

This does not include contributions that were awarded a score of zero. A rejection and a low score are not the same thing. Rejections are not assessed, as aforementioned, but zero-scores are. [No change]


# Good Contributions to the Anti-Abuse Category

A good contribution doesn't have to be on a particularly pressing anti-abuse subject to be relevant. For example, you don't have to write about investigating plagiarism or something where you've personally gotten your hands dirty and put yourself at risk. [No change]

A good contribution will typically have the following checked off:
- The post will be interesting to read (you don't want to have the reader give up halfway through because of boredom)
- The post will be by someone who knows the anti-abuse landscape of the Steem ecosystem
- The writer will evidently care about the anti-abuse topic they are writing about
- The post will have some helpful metrics or images to guide the reader
- The post will strive to educate the reader on how to recognize abuse and empower them to fight it

# Category Goals

In the name of half a year gone by, I'd like to take this opportunity to set some goals for the anti-abuse category.

- **Number of contributions:** I would like to see the number of contributions for the second half of the year surpass 100, cumulating at 200 or higher by the end of the year. This is to ensure maximum topics covered and maximum reach of information.

- **Increasing contributor numbers:** Currently we have a total of 19 contributors who submitted posts to the anti-abuse category. I believe that through inspiration and maintaining the topmost standards, we can inspire a lot more individuals to contribute going forward. It would be great to see this number reach if not surpass 30 users.

- **Increasing contribution quality:** The better our feedback is the clearer the message is and the more tools our contributors have for moving forward. All of our assessors are becoming seasoned professionals at giving feedback and I'm sure that our regular contributors are becoming seasoned professionals at reading it and applying lessons learned. This isn't an easily quantifiable goal like the previous two but I would like to see our contributions reach the minimal assessment score of 50 due to their high quality and insight. 

We will circle back to these goals at the end of the calendar year for review purposes.
