New Members of the Program

[CALL TO ACTION!] Dispute Period

As stated in the proposal, delegates have a timeframe of 4 days to dispute only objective parameters as call attendances and votes.

To raise a dispute, delegates should do so by posting a message in the forum using the following template:

Title: Dispute

Username

Reason for dispute (please detail)

I believe I should be rewarded for this work with Bonus Points.

I know that these disputes are only for objective parameters, but this is just clearly unfair, and I need to dispute it either way.

I also believe I should get Delegate Feedback for some of my comments on the forum in the month of September.

I did 34 comments on the forum and it’s hard to believe that not a single one of them was considered valuable.

For example, my comments on the DVP Quorum proposal must be worth… something I think.

I know that these disputes are only for objective parameters, but this is just clearly unfair and I need to dispute it either way.
