Just like you I often feel like the punishment being meted out are too harsh. If I am a relatively new to the blockchain and I make a mistake which Hivewatchers happen to stumble upon, instead of correcting me and trying to guide me they will rather choose to punish me.
If I am here for the rewards it is not just better to leave that account dead and move to a new account where they might not find me?
It’s always easier to create a new account and farm rewards easily. Instead I think people deserved to be punished but not having to go through 6 months or 1 year of pleading which might not even be forgiven after the appeal period. If you allow me apologise and move on is it not better?
In all I don’t think one person should just say I don’t like this and I don’t like that and it should stick cause this is supposed to be a decentralized platform right.
Maybe Whales fund Hivewatchers to centralize the rewards pools and force new account creation to pamp up the numbers without actual onboarding?
