Embracing Democracy in Discord - 1 Person 1 Vote Polls with BotBasher

Are you tired of messy and confusing polls in your Discord server? Have you ever found yourself questioning the integrity of your community's voting process, especially when the same person votes multiple times or users create multiple accounts just to skew the results? Well, you’re not alone! We’ve been there too.

With an overall spam rate of 13% on Discord, maintaining a spam-free server can be an incredibly challenging task. The difficulty arises from various factors such as manually identifying and banning spammers, verifying the authenticity of every new user joining through external campaigns, and the desire to have a large community—real or fake—to boost morale and maintain a thriving atmosphere among members.

As community managers, we've all faced situations where we try to find ways to make activities on our Discord server fair for everyone. For instance, when airdropping, we want everyone to have an equal chance, but sometimes people with multiple accounts and bots take over. Or when we have art contests, it doesn't feel fair for the real artists if someone uses multiple accounts to change the results. In the past, we've had to accept these outcomes, but now, things have changed for the better. There’s a solution!

If you have been on the lookout for solutions that ensure both fairness and a user-friendly experience on your discord polls, we have just the thing for you! BotBasher – a game-changing tool designed to ensure 1 Person 1 Vote (1p1v) sybil-resistant polls!

What is BotBasher?

BotBasher for Discord is an application that has been created utilizing the Humanode private biometric verification technology, allowing Discord users to verify that their account is owned by a unique living human being, and Discord servers to create Sybil-resistant channels, by limiting specified channels to verified human beings only.

The Power of One Person, One Vote

The cornerstone of democracy lies in the principle of one person, one vote. BotBasher brings this concept to life on Discord, ensuring that every user's voice is heard and valued. With a focus on fairness and transparency, this bot will create an environment where your community can come together to make decisions without any foul play. Using the 1p1v principle, BotBasher in combination with popular voting apps for Discord, ensures that each member of your community has a fair and equal opportunity to cast their vote in polls.

On the Humanode official community server, we've been using BotBasher's 1p1v feature for both fun and important decision-making activities. We hold community signaling polls to know community sentiments about a particular topic, it helps us make more informed decisions. For instance, we recently held a poll to determine if we should increase the number of validators receiving rewards. In this poll, 107 real community members took part and show what they want.

This gives everyone a fair chance to have their say in important decisions.

But that's not all! To motivate artists and creators to showcase their best work and earn rewards, we also select contest winners through 1p1v polls. For instance, we recently organized a Humanode Photo contest and asked verified humans to vote and pick the winners for each category.

This graph is generated by Votebot which we use to hold polls in our sybil resistant channels.
