Case and point why we need this https://snapshot.org/#/olympusdao.eth/proposal/0x02d6703bd4cf2a895e467e0b059ee7d8fbf10fd979af8f747ab7d71320c5e898
Institute Minimum (s)Ohm required to make proposals in Snapshot Governance
Not a good idea IMO. There are other filters we could add to submitted proposals to screen for value rather than just say a user's opinion isn't valuable because they can't afford more ohm. Seems like a highly arbitrary method to gate proposal submission when proposal votes are what validate or invalidate whether or not an idea has value and will be implemented. Ideas should be debated, not silenced.

pizzaking69 Thanks for the feedback.
2 points. Firstly, we have the forum here to discuss proposals before they reach snapshot, snapshot doesn't actually allow debate, only voting. So in terms of the notion that we would be 'silencing debate', it might actually encourage people with these low effort proposals that make it to snapshot, to first post them in the forum. Secondly, as mentioned in the post, Snapshot is meant to be used for binding votes on formal OIP proposals. Anyone can make an OIP but it must follow the correct workflow ie. forum discussion then move to snapshot. As mentioned earlier by Alinor, a minimum would be unlikely to stop any valid proposals from going to snapshot. Any decent proposal need only find a single backer with the minimum amount of Ohm to submit it to snapshot - I would argue that if no one with the minimum required amount of Ohm is willing to back a proposal then that proposal is highly unlikely to pass in snapshot anyway.
The overall goal here is to make it easier not harder for users to engage in governance. Spammy snapshot proposals make it harder for users to identify what proposals actually deserve their attention and require their votes.
I appreciate your thoughts, just thought I'd add some rebuttal.

Although I'm squarely in the YES vote category for this proposal. I'm very confused on the Snapshot voting mechanics and think maybe I'm missing some important detail. I have almost 200 sohm now and every time I try to vote on a Snapshot proposal it zero ohm governance power or something like that. Does anyone have some insight into this that may help me out? Thank you in advance.

I am a very low holder and do not even have 10 OHM. I agree I should not have the right to propose anything as I do not yet understand anything about governance. I also agree that there are likely people with understanding of the project that have valuable insight but also have limited amounts of OHM. What about the people with plenty of money and no there proposals and fail to meet binding OlympusDAO proposal. I would recommend a stricter requirement of 2 individuals with appropriate minimum levels to back. I personally believe, good ideas with flourish irrespective of the difficulty it is to "push them" forward, however, bad ideas will get snuffed
LilMafia1 is your money in rari? or being used as collateral?
BobbySchmurda Thank you for trying to help, I already solved the problem though…

metahayek I think a more democratic and less capitalistic way of screening out bad OIPs would be to solicit co-sponsors. Simply convince five other members to endorse your idea. This then allows the idea to flow onto Snapshot. Kind of like going from committee to a floor vote in a legislature.
