# 11.4 Risks arising from user behavior

While there is a high degree of freedom for participants, there is also the possibility that DAOs and voting systems may operate in unintended ways.

**Potential Risks:**

* Vote buying, spamming, and BOT voting
* Distortion of incentives due to participation of short-term re-sale players
* Pseudo-decentralization through operational overreach

**Mitigation Strategies:**

* Conditional voting rights (e.g., staking/NFT ownership requirements)
* Trust score and contribution-based participation model based on user behavior
* Transparent evaluation of contributions through engagement rewards “GET Miles”
