Debate Dev Log · Oct 3

The growth-verification phase fired its first shot. The baseline ledger went up early last month with a promise: measure first, then move — and experiment 01 officially opened today: the feed gained a 'for you' ranking view, interest-profile weighted with dedup against farming, so repeated taps on one question count once; the hot page got its revamp along the way. The most scrupulous change is the discovery threshold: it used to count total replies, seed comments included; now it counts real players after stripping seeds — growth means real people against real numbers. Share cards got attribution too, so every wave of growth is visible in the funnel.

Red or Green truly landed today. Localization isn't translation: hard-translating the English name into 'red-flag behavior' would be a joke — it's now a Chinese double card of bonus points and deductions, with the English name shifted to the idiomatic Red Flag. The data layer got a hard constraint: the first option is always the negative one, both languages share one set of votes, and switching locale only changes the skin, never the counts. Recurrence prevention didn't rely on memory either — the Chinese options are baked into server-side constants, and all 67 legacy entries were backfilled; the generator can't mistranslate even if it wants to.

The wiki collaboration got a new engine: multi-step writes collapsed into three atomic RPCs — whitelist, content and history land in one transaction; contributions go into receipt tables, and every ten nominations pays out Fuel — the incentive reversal from two days ago, cashed in. Share cards hit v2 with four modes by three themes. The second hot-topic batch passed the reader gate as well, six questions spread across five zones.
