Proposal to remove moons gained/lost from the daily

Since Moons have been implemented, we've seen "upvote rings" at work in the daily discussion, while at other times seeing mass downvotes. We're also seeing a lot of posts that don't add to the discussion, but are fishing for upvotes such as "POPULAR COIN TAKE MY ENERGY", "Upvote crew, time to get to work" and such. This happens far less in posts outside the daily, which makes sense as moderation is also less stringent on the daily than on the rest of the subreddit. Realistically, we also have a chatroom for this, but the Daily Discussion seems to have become our de facto chat room.​The actual valuable posts and discussions happen outside the daily, while the daily is used mostly to spam. In my opinion this is okay and gives everyone a nice outlet for these sort of comments, but I think that we should reward moons to the valuable posts and discussions rather than to spamming. This is why I propose to not award Moons for karma gained in the daily posts. The net effect of this would be more Moons going to people creating posts and comments outside the daily, while we can keep the daily for chat and spam, and not care about the upvotes/downvotes there.View Poll
