GM Degens!

Season 12 claims are open, and Season 13 starts today.

All banned users are unbanned for this season. Tip initiatives that grow the community—think sponsorships, projects, or creative ideas.

Authentically engage with content, or face removal for farming.

Stay safe, have fun!

So artists were left without anything yet farmers get to claim theirs. Sounds reasonable.

respectfully, i think it's better to have some change than nothing...i don't agree with a lot of it but it's a start.

Do more, talk less...don't sell dreams, help shape the future. $NFA.

The fact that there are farmers and those who outright stole are getting away with theirs is not right. If you ask people to lock their tokens with a set of rules, only to change them before the claim is right. I don’t know what to tell you.

They were 'getting away with it' for a while, not all of the alleged were farmers tbh, but now there measures or talks off measures that might or might not let it continue. IDK if looking at it that way helps.

If you do the crime, should I go to jail? No. Look at the leaderboard now and see for yourself.

The top of the leaderboard (either farmers or real artists like you) was always a frustration for me, a small account hustling and delivering new stuff everyday. 

All while someone like you post a photograph they made in 2017, and get 10-20k in tips with a single cast. 

I'm always happy for established artists, but what i dont get is their ignorance towards smaller accounts that also want to get some tips. And there are no tips left because the major chunk of them were already tipped to the people who are already on top of the leaderboard. 

Check out the new season leaderboard. All the same faces. I see some guys kinda got used to free money, but with all respect, you're not in a position to complain, considering the rewards you made with degen. If not for Jacek you would all still grind Foundation and SR where all the moneybags are partying.

Other accounts that are not even artists have absolutely zero respect from me (read Karbon, Frydoteth, and the whole bunch of pure farmers that were legit banned)

Dude, I understand that there are lots of false-positives with the ban, but I believe Jacek unbanned them (with this admitting the mistake with to strict measures i guess), that's what the cast is about at least. And i felt sarcasm in your comment about giving farmers their tips back. 

Jacek makes it this way perhaps, because of the complicated nature of the spam identification.

What i'm saying is that established artists can really do better than casting old works given that they know that everything they post will get tipped/minted anyways. Small artists don't have this privilege so they die hard creating new stuff everyday for just a few likes. 

Big accounts tip other big accounts huge tips for basically nothing. I'm not saying it's about you at all. I just give examples from my experience

Side note, i'm probably one of your first followers on Behance and followed your work since then. I wish you don't take it as an insult, but rather think it over and distill feedback from it that you can improve on.

You’re making a lot of assumptions, so let’s clear this up.

I never made this about me. Many of the banned accounts were small creators supporting each other, following the rules, locking their tokens, and then getting burned when the rules suddenly changed. Meanwhile, known farmers and exploiters kept their rewards. That is the real issue.

The argument about big artists getting all the tips is irrelevant. Success is built over years of work, and many established artists actively support smaller creators.

If fairness was the goal, everyone who gamed the system should be held accountable, not just selected groups following the rules. Calling that out is not entitlement, it is demanding basic integrity for all, big or small.

I understand the need to revamp the system, but the way it was done was not the way to do it right before the claim. Jacek and degen have created a great environment, and that is not the question.
