Hi @Larva
According to our attendance records, you were only present in the last call on 17/12. We’re using software to track attendance for all sessions automatically. If you believe you attended a call that wasn’t logged, please provide evidence so we can make the necessary adjustments.
As the proposal explains, a delegate can achieve a better score with fewer comments because the Delegate Feedback parameter prioritizes QUALITY over QUANTITY.
The purpose of the rubric is to encourage delegates to provide feedback only when they have something valuable to contribute, rather than trying to game the program. If a delegate attempts to increase their “Presence in discussions” multiplier with low-value comments, their score will likely be negatively impacted.
Regarding comments scored with zero vs. marked as invalid:
If marked invalid, the score is unaffected, if marked with a zero, this lowers the average score.
Comments marked as invalid could be due to:
- Being a comment that doesn’t add value to the discussion.
- Being identified as a rationale, thus considered under the Communication Rationale parameter.
- Being a comment in a Delegate Thread, which also qualifies as a rationale.
- Being posted in a thread not included in the analysis.
- Being merged into a single rubric when multiple responses were posted by the same author within the same discussion.
Comments marked as valid but scored with zero are those that the program administrator deems irrelevant to the discussion. As you pointed out, this negatively impacts the scoring. The goal is to discourage spammy, repetitive, or shallow comments—such as those generated using AI tools.
The comment you mention is dated October 17 and what we are evaluating here is December’s contributions.
