[Report] Creatives DAO Moderator - K

Hello, everyone!

No reports were published on my behalf since I got onboarded as a Creatives DAO moderator, and due to the difficulties I encountered during the first months of being onboarded, they never went online. Therefore, here are my monthly reports.

The latter portions of which will be utilized to compile a collective report for Creatives DAO.

June 2022 Report


Hello, Creatives!

It was our first month in this role. Although we are kind of familiar with the processes, experiencing them firsthand is still different. We had the chance to see how diverse we are when making decisions and verdicts, yet it also allowed us to see things from different points of view. Hectic is the right word to describe June, as we are managing our respective local communities while doing reviews and tasks, but challenges are what make it worth trying.

Actions:

  • Weekly syncs and immersions in the mods team
  • Introduction to the community
  • Weekly community calls
  • Weekly proposals review
  • Planning of Creatives DAO V.2 (Updating Legal Status, Creating Domain, NCC & Kicking start NFT Market Place) in which we plan to dry run some parts of it in Filipino Artists Guild this coming July

I am thankful for the trust and opportunity to work with these amazing people. Looking forward to bringing more value to the ecosystem!

Love and light,

K

July 2022 Report


Hello, Creatives!

We’re back after another month has passed! As we try to experiment and document the V.2 of Creatives DAO in my community, this month went a bit harsh on my side. Left and right internal challenges that took a tremendous toll on my well-being that lasted for a couple of weeks and affected my performance (where previous councils of my guild used gaslighting and spreading inaccurate, malicious information as much as they could about me). I was advised to create a report about it to disclose bad actors in the community, yet didn’t do so as I was tainted with compassion and distress.

This is also the final month with our ancestors (old moderators). As they share their knowledge with us, I am incredibly honored and humbled to work with them, and at the same time, I am motivated to work with the rest of the team to lead Creatives DAO during the future months!

Actions:

  • Participated in weekly mods and community calls
  • Tried trello for effortless review management so we can put more attention to other areas of Creatives DAO
  • Reviewed proposals
  • Advised several DAOs in the back end regarding community concerns and funding

Excited for what August can bring. Let’s get it on!

Love and light,

K

Ciao, Creatives!

Here we are again, reaching another month stronger as a community! We received a humongous amount of proposals this month, and I must admit that the workflow is much better than the ones we had previously. I’m glad to say that Trello did wonders! :grin:

There’ve been a couple of internal deliberations with proposals, nonetheless, the approved ones are truly worthy.

We discussed proposals, held community calls, contacted former moderators, and arranged various events to boost Creatives DAO’s media exposure!

Each day we grew more confident being in this role. Looking forward to each day!

Love and light,
K

September 2022 Report


Ciao, Creatives!

Together with the other mods, we qualified to represent Creatives DAO and its community at NEARCon this year. As we downsized the mods team a few months ago, approving proposals was indeed challenging as most of us were traveling, but we somehow made it through. We appreciate the patience you all gave us, and you all rock it!

We also met the old moderators and several key players in the ecosystem, from whom we gathered some insights. This is also the first time 171 studios were brought to the table and examined the possibilities of working together in the future.

We represented Creatives DAO at quests outside NEARCon, where we saw firsthand how Creatives DAO-funded initiatives are operating in real life. I was astounded! If we are just able to attend these events and realize how much it impacts the mass adoption campaign through creative highlights, you’ll probably think the same! We are not limited to on-chain transactions!

While attending events, the moderators hosted the community call together. With the 4 of us (Blua, Sahil, me, and Will. Paul wasn’t with us for NEARCon 2022), we’re able to sync our thoughts and strategies on a personal level, even reviewing some of the proposals together. We also had a chance to strengthen the bond of Creatives DAO to the ecosystem’s community verticals, and I hope this is a start of a good collaboration.

NEARCon 2022 introduced us to the experience of meeting projects and people together. Honestly am quite anxious about how the remaining days will unfold, yet optimistic.

Thank you for once again showing us the community’s support!

Love and light,
K

October to November 2022 Report


Ciao a tutti!

Since NEARCon ended, things have swayed. Temporary halting of funding was announced, there’ve been sleepless nights to deliberate proposals on how we can move forward (which were both presented in the forum), and internal conflicts as we navigate the restructuring processes. Respective proposals had faced some resistance and feedback from various community contributors, which were also used to fine tune them.

Actions:

  • Internal meeting with the mods to calibrate recommendations to the respective proposals of moving forward with the spirit of decentralization and sustainability
  • Meetings with NF representative, 171 Studios and Funding team
  • Attended to community queries

Love and light,
K

Hello @kc_sollano ! Any updates from NF side? Who is a point of contact at NF , because some artists are looking for support. Thanks.

Hey, Dacha! We’ve been in contact primarily with Shreyas and Osaze. We are also in touch with several from funding team.

Aside from NEAR, all the things we are doing are for the community. Once the funding resumed, we can once again support the community with their initiatives. Yet even at this moment, Creatives DAO mods are giving their support to the collective be it moral or other aspect aside from funding.

We are 1-2 meetings away from our continuation.

February 2023 Report


Ciao ciao!

How have you been? I hope you all are doing well! February was a productive month with a lot of things accomplished. Was able to represent Creatives DAO in some local events and create partnerships that might help us with the ongoing campaign of 1 billion users! :crossed_fingers: This month I also stepped down with DAOs I counseled to put more emphasis on Creatives DAO development aside of it being a conflict of interest if I stay.

Actions:

  • Assisting community calls, distribution and creation of POAPs
  • External and internal meetings, which involve guidelines, legal matters, the website, community calls, syncing with a person who has visions and propositions regrading the Creatives DAO structure, and keeping weekly sync with NF’s representative.
  • Reclaiming social medias and partnership with NEARWeek <> Creatives DAO
  • Drafting and deliberation of Creatives Support Working Group
  • Community moderation and assistance

March will be more hectic for all of us as we finally get things running once again. We’ll be awaiting your proposals, and if you need help, you can message me in Telegram to assist you! One message away!
