The four names listed above are all community members who felt the urgency of action during the voting period, but who also didn't know too much about witnesses or voting.
Can you comment a bit more on your methods for selecting these four users? Did they contact you? Did you contact them? Are there likely many other accounts who made naive voting choices without the intent-of-centralization that should also be included but are unbeknownst to you?
It also might be helpful to see statements from these users explaining their cases.
Absolutely. You can find a lot of conversation from these four accounts on the main Hive post, via support around the chain, and in some cases, they've made multiple posts themselves discussing it. I've simply picked these four to group as they're very cut and dried, and you can follow their actions on both chains clearly to figure out what you want to do.
Should I see more names that seem to be similar, I'll happily spend a bit to make a proposal for that as well. I have nothing to gain from this, and there are many people who will vote for the no airdrop AND this proposal, but not for the groups. Making the choices we want and then getting shit done is what this is all about. Community driven means someone in the community just has to do it!
Thanks for the info. I glanced at the four accounts (@lupafilotaxia @thebigsweed @farm-mom @soufiani) and they seem to post reasonable content and perhaps did not fully understand their voting behavior at the time.
Proposal supported along with "No more airdrops", so I think my overall effect is a wash, but at least I'm not raising the bar for these accounts to receive their airdrop.
2 of them have been vetted by me and Joshman last month and 2 were added by @crimsonclad. Imo she should have at least linked my delegation post where they explain what happened in the comment section so everyone can check for themselves and make up their own minds.

Thanks @lordbutterfly for the links. The discussion at your 100HP delagation post are very helpful because I read the direct appeal from the user as well as the outcome of your investigation. This sort of well documented on-chain evidence trail makes it much easier for me to know why I should support a given user in their airdrop appeals.
Thanks!
Glad you see it that way. They did a good job explaining their position and we found them very convincing after checking out their post/comment histories.
Just to emphasize, @foreveraverage is not included in this proposal since he wanted to make his own. (so i learned)
If you want to support him and his claim (which i will do) you will have to also vote his individual proposal.
I would advise him otherwise and suggest he joins the group proposal since voter apathy is a known phenomena but that is his call to make ofc.
Oh I would not be against that. The idea from a separate proposal came from the fact that I had that post already written (https://peakd.com/hive/@foreveraverage/the-hive-exclude-list-and-me-being-on-it) But I agree that there is strength in numbers
Edit: in all honesty I wasn't aware there was a group proposal like this going on until you tagged me (during week most of my time and energy is invested in work). But it might be hard to add me to the list now that it's out already. I would hate myself if this proposal loses credibility only because it was altered after people voted for it already
