# Creatives DAO Moderator - William X [SEPTEMBER]

Dear Creatives,

This has been a fulfilled month with so many things happened around. The highlight of this month’s activities was NearCON with important conversations & meetups, followed up by attending some side activities. Note that at the time I’m writing this report, there’s an incident happening in this thread: [[complain] report on the fake wallets scheme](http://gov.near.org/t/complain-report-on-the-fake-wallets-scheme/29717/21) that may affect the tone by personal harassments towards myself & some of the moderators.

**Report:**

- Internal meetings with reviewing proposals:

> [@\[REPORT\] Creatives Constellation Trustee - Paul](https://gov.near.org/t/report-creatives-constellation-trustee-paul/23690/4):
>
> we managed to review 78 proposals, where:  
> a) 60 were approved ( _$240 640_ ),  
> b) 18 were closed ( _$54 367_ )

- Internal meetings for report & proposition documents towards possible changes in Creatives

- NEARCON (10-15/9/2022), where:

- Follow up meeting with Creatives mods to work on proposals for Creatives guidelines.

- Collect metrics of DAOs on Astro for report

- Work on draft matrix to evaluate proposals

- Follow up meeting with NF contact person after NearCON

**Final thoughts:**

Since became a moderator in June, I have been focusing on changing the assumption that Creatives says yes to every proposal. That’s the reason why I took the reviewing work seriously and usually appear on forum with follow up questions. This can make some of the community members think that I’m holding power to close a proposal, but do note that every decision from moderator side is a collective decision (with voting), and the closure of a proposal doesn’t mean that it’s councils’ decision as well. Which mean, Creatives councils’ (DAOs councils) vote is the final voice, not moderator’s. However the system is far from perfect and we need more defined T&Cs so that no-one get criticized & personal attacked for a decision. (System focus, not personal focus).

We are improving, I believe that changes are needed to accommodate a big growing community (so does the number of proposals & problem to be solved), and glad we’re doing it. Again, I’m grateful to be a part of this community and learn new thing in every phases of its evolution.

William X
