I disagree with the idea that increasing the proposal threshold would lead to receiving quality proposals. Nothing guarantees that a wallet with access to open money markets can’t gather a million tokens and then run some fraudulent proposal in our space. We’re on protocol operating on a permission-less blockchain, which makes me think that, for example, an undetected smart contract hacker could not take advantage of our safety measures based on amount of capital/tokens (250 AAVE).
Could there be other methods of safeguarding access to Snapshot proposals that is not dependent on the quantity of held (or staked/locked) AAVE tokens? Like: history of contributions, previous DAO votes, number of delegation, age of wallet, math-based id verification, forum posts, multiple-steps before posting on Snapshot, Gitcoin Passport-verification, timelocking before accepting votes, …
I am open to hearing other ideas and propositions. I would just advise against setting a token-based requirement like this. In my mind, It is not an appropriate safety measure to contain the bad actors.
