Hi Simon, if you’d like to report me it’s recommended to use the template.
Wishing you a great day! :sunny:

I have never complained about anyone in my life :wink:

Greetings. So what did you decide on my case?

The community has decided to temporary suspend user ‘Simon-Black’ from pollen distribution.

We have decided to reinstate everyone’s accounts other than: xDaiFandom, pouria, wafey, and FTHV.

Recent changes to discord fixed a number of the distribution issues and we believe the system should be harder to abuse either maliciously or incidentally from now on. That said, we will still freeze accounts in the future if deemed to be breaking one of the above rules described in this thread.

We hope to further formalize this process as well. We had to act fast over the last few weeks in a kind of emergency action. Hopefully we will be able to take a more measured approach in the future.

Wow…what a shit show this thread has become.

Can this not be done in private ? I know every one loves to bash everything on the forums and beg for cred but come on ? Surely there is a better way with dealing with gamers?

There should be a hierarchy some where that you can report these things and the hierarchy then can freeze the accounts and investigate ?

That is what this is. It should absolutely NOT be done in private, that is completely against the idea of a DAO. There should be transparency around the process.

100% agree with @befitsandpiper here.
Transparency is a must with A DAO.
The process of improving sourcecred was messy like any process involving many people with different ideas, backgrounds and skills. But calling it a shitshow is a strech of the imagination

100% agree with you. It is DAO it should be transparent.

Thank you for reinstating my account.

I believe the plan is for Celeste (instance of Aragon Court) to handle disputes like this. That could potentially be way better. And one side effect is that cases that are brought up are only seen by the jurors that are called. Unless it keeps getting appealed, in which case more and more people in the DAO will see it. Which I think is good. While I think this thread is kinda great in a way, and 1Hive moderation seems to be on point generally, this is only a temporary solution.

While I definitely think Celeste will be useful in this case because it will provide a formal, decentralized, and fair way to handle disputes… it’s not the case that information associated with a dispute would be any more private.

I was reading the thread and funny to see my name is on the radar. I will be honest here I do not know how many people I have pulled into this awesome community and its my right to help them, and if they are fan of my shitty work :slight_smile: guess am here. Honestly I havent even tracked who liked my stuff more.

Do I know him personally Yes and No. I pulled him from a random conversation about HoneySwap and dont know him. He came to discord and pinged for help. I did push him to right channels if I am not wrong.

Yes I pulled him to discord since I pulled him to recieve faucet and gave him 0.05 xDai to begin with
That was like a month ago on Sep 29
Block I sent him for txn image

Anyways thanks they did reconsider this as a friendly case, And I am glad. This is good so we find the loopholes and identifies bots and farmers.

I donot want to dig more. Keep going 1hive :love_letter:

I’d like to add new evidence found to the Simon_Black case.

Users to be reported :

  • Simon_Black#0595
  • GhostEm#3913
  • gosha#4070
  • Greekgod (zumer#6815)
  • sheewa#5623
  • vatone#5955

Date on which you noticed the potential user gaming cred: April 2nd 2021.

Which rules are potential user breaking and how?: It seems pretty clear these users are breaking rule #2 since we can notice a suspicious amount of reactions on each other messages.

Evidence you can provide to support your claim :
Here you can find a list of Discord messages I found from a couple of weeks ago and some months ago:

You know what they say:
Fool me once, strike one.
But fool me twice, strike three.

It’s pretty clear to me due to the low quality of these posts that are receiving a bajillion reactions from the same people (stuff like “goodnight everyone”) that this is clique/like trading behavior. This also is the 2nd time simon black has been reported for this kind of behavior. I will go ahead and deactivate simon black this coming week. I don’t think there’s really much chance of appeal given the repeating tendency of this kind of suspicious and cliquey behavior.

I think we will also permanently revoke cred minting rights on discord. If we can implement this rapidly, discord cred minting rights will be revoked for all reported and disabled folks in this thread. This should automatically get rid of cred for other members of the clique, but if problems persist we will disable some of them too.

:policeman:‍♂ wish there was the discord emojis here

Please reconsider my case. Do I have any violations lately? I confess to old mistakes, but I did not make new ones. Why do you make enemies. I tried to help the community. Thanks

I think the explanation was pretty clear, you can view the cases shown in hernando’s post.
