Overall I like MSM. Glad it is being adjusted. I have a suggestion. What if MSM was only once per quarter. It was pointed out by @gmd that MSM caters more to hard core stackers than new folks. If attracting and keeping new users is a goal for SN it might be good to move back to weekly or daily rewards and just do MSM 4 times a year.
Now, with that said maybe daily rewards attracts the kind of high time preference behavior we don't want for SN. I can see a case for that. I can see a case for rewarding the work of hard core stackers over new stackers. Just a thought.
These types of schemes are hard to create in a way that doesn't have negative consequences so good luck trying to tune it to be good for SN. Just try to keep that time preference balanced. What makes SN special to me is the community and thoughtfulness of most of the content here.
I'm thinking it will actually be valuable to have this one come right after the previous. I think a lot of people got really excited for the big rewards and changed their behavior in unsustainable ways.
This month, I doubt the same irrational exuberance will possess us and we'll probably behave more like we would if monthly rewards were normal. This should give the team a better picture to draw conclusions from.
