[Report] CREATIVES DAO APRIL FUNDING REPORT

I was on the call.

Fake accusation. I has a record on my phone, it was shocked, we’re being bullied,

The office hours are offered by the mods to further assist the community, note that we do this in a good will, that’s not even a compulsory written in our duty. Please revise the language in this comment, it is against community guidelines.

Then please share the recording of the call you have on your phone so that everyone can see.

I will revise the language once that is done

Thanks

I think its important overall not to over-value attending a zoom call. I do believe it is a flaw in the scoring system and have expressed that. Not because participating in community calls shouldn’t be considered but because people think that sitting on a zoom call is providing more value than it really is and that it should then warrant funding their projects.

However, the creatives mods have worked their tail off to accommodate far more people and projects than deserve it, still to this day, and they are in an impossible position to navigate. It has been grossly unfair and I do not envy the spot they’ve been put in.

The accusations and bitterness of those not getting funded needs to stop too. Existing and being present in an ecosystem is not the same as providing value to that ecosystem and people need to really start looking inward at what they bring to the table.

Reality Check for creatives: creating isn’t inherently valuable. It can bring value to you and your life but in the bigger picture amongst the impact of the greater good of a blockchain, creative projects need to be evaluated much more critically. I have seen great attempts from mods and other governing/working groups raise the bar. In the same vain, I have seen creatives resist and feel entitled to be rewarded simply because they are creating something.

As for some of the extracurricular criticisms and abuses of power among moderators of DAOS/Councils/Forums, that is also an issue that I plan to address in greater detail. Some people with disproportionate influence have greatly misused their platform and position, while being enabled to do so, and it appears their only value and contributions to the ecosystem are to pick people apart in a less than constructive way. But that is to be expected when people are elevated to positions of power and influence that do not have the background, credentials nor temperament to responsibly fulfill the duties of those roles they’ve been appointed or appointed themselves.

Idk what the answers are but failing to acknowledge the toxicity (and plenty more unflattering attributions) that is so persistently pervasive is def not it.

Yep, gotta agree with a lot of this @rhymetaylor

These are very severe accusations against a DAO Council Member which are not backed by any evidence, hence your comment was flagged and deleted. I understand your frustration for not having your funding proposal approved but this kind of behaviour will only deteriorate your reputation in the ecosystem.

I also wouldn’t recommend posting Zoom call recordings on a public forum without all participants’ consent.

If you genuinely feel you’ve been ill treated and verbally abused feel free to reach out to me. Thanks.

Hello to you all, John x is here,

It is quite sad that my name has been brought up again with how much ive been through in almost two years of the event that transpired.
After all appeals i made about the whole issue, i reached out to many community moderators over time all to no avail. What do the creatives have against me? I was suspended for three months and after that the creatives still keep putting messes on my name till this day. What have i done to deserve all these negative smearing?
I personally appealed and called all parties for reconciliation after some time but the creatives did not help me towards any reconcialiation whatsoever.

And till date my name is being smeared and used in the wrong light. It feels so painful that with all the contributions i made that it was only my mistakes that i am being judged with as if i am the only one who is prone to mistake and not bound to learn and grow. I dont know who the creatives are and till date ive been blocked from the community chat but honestly it feels a little upsetting that negativity is what am known for after all these years. Does anyine at least not feel like i am capable of doing any good, any positive contribution. Have i been the only one whose loyalty was brought to question in the whole NEAR ecosystem? Why only me?

I will address this issue on ground in the best way i can.
Firstly, I encouraged enyinnaya about building on NEAR with his friends just like i have advised numerous people and onboarded them to NEAR, people like @AugustKinge (gabriel) and his wife @FabDab (hephzibah) , the music producer @BigM007 whom i shared a flat with, @Licious_Crackitt a producer that contribyted to NxM, @beetlejuice i invited to help with spiritual dao

Would we say that because i had issues with NEAR i shouldnt encourage people to build communities with available resource to help them scale?

Creatives what have i done? Almost two years now and it seems like i either killed someone or took someone’s wife or did something so bad with the kind of hate @Paul has shown towards me in the abuse of my legacy. I got a call from enyinnaya that you claimed because he wrote my EP that he is nkt deserving if funding, because he mixed my EP two years ago? Paul this is unbecoming honestly, and also he was accused that he was John X because of the he way he sounded even after he was ready to tender government ID? Have you seen me in person physically or lived with me to say what i really look like, sound like or so… you dont have that right?

Ive healed from all the pain and all the trauma, the friends i lost… @vandal @Symbolik @komori and even @Dacha i couldnt reach out to after the shame of all the information( fabricated plus true) that was used against me… dacha please DM me your telegram handle or phone number or any means to reach you there is a lot to talk about

Also, how does the creatives moderators decide who is who even after they are ready to verify themselves after accusing them to be somebody else, who gives that say to say that a person is this or that and so doesnt deserve this or that, that is playing GOD and not good for a community, enyinnaya said paul called him john x on the call even when other creative moderators could not recognize him … how is there quorum to that, say one man’s opinion would be final thats dangerous my brother. And to even think of the fact that i only met paul in the online community without meeting him in person and he can determine what i look like is really unbelievable because we have only spoken on the phone.

I appeal to the concerned parties to appeal to paul to stop bringing up my name in issues and stop smearing my legacy, i have tried all reconcialtory approaches over time but nobody has stepped up to hear my side of the story or allowed me into the creatives chat to speak my piece. I am being labelled as if am the devil, just because i wa open about issues and made the scape goat… the creatives have had cases of fund mismanagements than my issue but i am still brought up as reference

Thank you for coming to clear yourself

I was accused repeatedly to be you, there were suspicions that were raised because i helped you cowrite and engineer your EP back in the day and i admitted you were the one who recommended NEAR to the Ubuntu photography fellowship. Well we are here to build and somebody is using your reference as a bad light and to the point where i was wholly accused that I WAS YOU… (because according to them i look like you and i sound like you) brethren C’om outta this, me cut me dreads a long time ago and me still show pon video call me face and dem people keep saying i must be John X

Tagging allthe necessary oarties concerned to prove myself

@blaze @Psalmy @Dacha @Cryptonaut @Paul @kc_sollano @williamx

How come you look exactly like John X?

The pics below this post looks like JohnX, as much as I don’t want to take part in this conversation since I really don’t know the conflict between JohnX and the Ecosystem I prefer been nonchalant about this case.
From my point of view since you can call @JohnX to clear the air you can also invite him on a call so you both can be on a call to prove different human.

I don’t know how this is going to be done but we would come up with a way for you to proof innocence, can we hold a call with both of them @Dacha i mean to hold a call with @thecreator and @JohnX this is the only way to proof innocence and prolly you’re innocent :innocent: you can get an apology from the Community for the misconception i would personally make a post to apology.
But for now this is a case and needs to be looked into.

And the @creativesdao-council what protocol do you use to conclude before making a ban to a community member?
I’ve heard most complaining openly you ban most users without a warning or reasons.
What are your community guidelines so I see.

@Dabbie3229 Can the peace and reconciliation do something about this cases yet or @Dacha what can the TC WG do about this??

The Truth and Reconciliation Working group is still building to eliminate these fraudsters, this case will reveal so much about those hiding under people to cause chaos in the ecosystem.

Thanks, some people say that actually…
One of the reasons is that the connection me and john x had was that we were RASTAFARIANS quite some time ago, but my dreads was shorter…

Check the picture in my linkedin profile, my dreads are actually shorter …John X has many long dreads you know…but over time i have cut my own hair due to personal reasons and come out of the shell to socialize with the world again.

Do you also know John X? I think everyone has their issues and nobody should judge but John X always gets into trouble because he is an open person and bluntly truthful…people like that get crucified… even JESUS was

Thanks, i am very open to this, thank you so much for this suggestion. All concerned parties should be invloved in the scheduling, i am down

I’m always open for any call with Community members :heart:

Great job @Dabbie3229 :heart:

@thecreator i not even going deep to research but the fact all basic information about you is looking suspicious and it’s something to pay attention with.

Please answer this few questions.
Why’s your Instagram page deleted??

Why’s your medium page a non entity. It says the page has been deleted by the Author :ok_hand:

.
Feel free to prove me wrong by dropping your IG, Medium or Old twitter account not the new one you opened of recent.

Or you can send a more clear pics of you now since you said you no more have dreads as per personal issues, you’ve already dox a pic so you can send a clear one to prove you’re not JohnX

Aside this questions, I would proceed as @dacha has decided to join the call.
I would also be on the call, @JohnX and @thecreator has to be on the call too.

Please someone who knows JohnX more has to be on the call so we ask questions that JohnX knows if he fails to answer that means the call was manipulated by another person hoping to cover up JohnX spot while I’ve some questions only @thecreator can answer with the little conversation we’ve had of recent.

The call can be held 7PM UTC? Tomorrow @dacha @Dabbie3229 @JohnX @thecreator what do you think?

I think @Cryptonaut and some creative mods should equally be on the call, since they have a recording of the call where @thecreator attended, so we can have to clarify all these mess. @thecreator kindly notify us if you and @JohnX would be available for the call

  • When should we have the call?
  • Wednesday 4pm UTC
  • Thursday 4pm UTC
  • Friday 4pm UTC
