I have updated the databox moderation system to change the acorn awards. The way it used to work was that it tried to guess how many data points you changed, and then try to give the amount of acorns that is appropriate. That number would be 0.1 up to 1. So if you went through and only entered one piece of information, you would only get 0.1 acorns.

I have now changed this. Starting now, when you have a databox proposal approved, you get a full acorn regardless of how much data you checked off. If you later on resubmit another data proposal for the same plant you only get 0.1 acorns.

I agree Fair indeed. Sometimes it takes as much work to check references to change one piece of data as entering a bunch of changes.

Most excellent change. Much better than the other way. Thumbs up Dave.
