Hello @Oiks. Just to clarify: @Dacha Is not a part of our reviewing team, the decision is always made by us. Here you can check out all OWS responsibles: OWS Team: An Introduction
As for the claim: Unfortunately we continue seeing abuse of some of the provided opportunities. Our team has limited resources and cannot verify fake NEAR Academy “completers” nor identify if the accounts are indeed different people. That being said, we announced earlier in the month that we have removed this category for October. We hope to return this category in the future with additional verification processes. Thanks for your contribution!
