Peers Program Season 3: Empower Astar Together — Applications Open

Astar
21

I have already explained my situation from my side, and I have built the Raspberry Pi 5 setup that was presented by @juminstock as a condition for returning to the Astar Discord.
However, I still have not been able to rejoin the Astar Discord. What is the current status?

I can only hope that having been banned from the Astar Discord will not result in me being excluded from the selection process.
In the past, when I applied for the Astar Technical Agent position, the reason given for not evaluating me was also that I had been banned from the Astar Discord, right?

By the way, on the Startale Discord, I was granted the Astarnaut role despite not being a member of the Astar Discord.
How long am I supposed to endure this unclear and confusing situation?
It has already been more than six months since I was banned from Astar discord.

@Juminstock
Could you please let me know the current status regarding your statement that you would consider returning to the Astar Discord once you had built an Astar node?
Also, after I was banned from the Astar Discord, I sent you a DM. At that time, you told me that I could contribute to Astar without returning to the Astar Discord, and that there was no need for me to go back—am I correct?
At present, since I cannot access the Astar Discord, I am unable to join the Astar Guild and cannot participate in this program’s channel either. What is the reason for this?
I feel that I am being disadvantaged because I cannot participate in the Astar Discord. Is this just my imagination?

@tksarah
I have not yet received any notification regarding participation in this program. Does this mean that I was not selected?
For the sake of learning and contributing to Astar’s future development, could you please tell me how many people from which countries have joined this program?
I am also technically interested in what kind of nodes the selected participants have built.

For now, regarding participation in the Astar Discord, our community manager will respond to you separately.

As for the Peers Program, unfortunately we did not receive as many applicants as we had hoped during this recruitment period.
We received two applications from Southeast Asia, one from South America, and yours.
Therefore, since we want to focus our efforts on expanding activity in the regions we have prioritized, we decided not to move forward with applications from the Japan region this time.

We are currently reviewing what preparations each applicant has made, or what preparations they will need to make going forward, and we are proceeding step by step.

I see. Thank you for informing me of the reason for my rejection.

If I was rejected because I reside in the Japan region, could you please explain what the following clause means?

  • up to 5 candidates in any region

Given this condition, I find it somewhat strange that only three people were selected this time—am I mistaken?
In other words, out of the four applicants, I was the only one who was not selected, right? lol

By the way, I believe this program has been running for several years. Is it uncommon for participants to build nodes on Raspberry Pi?
Since there was only one other person besides me running a node on an ARM CPU, I was curious.

I understand that the community manager will contact me regarding returning to the Astar Discord.
Thank you for your reply.

@AstarPunks

Regarding your access to the Astar Discord:

Your previous ban has been lifted under the conditional reinstatement policy that was recently announced for the JP community.

Your return is subject to the following conditions:

  • A three-month trial period.

  • During this period, your behavior and participation will be monitored.

  • Any rule violations, aggressive behavior, or disruptive conduct will result in immediate re-ban.

  • If similar issues occur again after the trial period, further action may be taken, including restriction or ban.

  • A second ban may result in a significantly longer restriction period.

If you are currently unable to access the Discord, please contact me via the Astar JP Telegram channel so I can review the issue.

Hi @NOVA_1

Nice to meet you.ヽ(´ー`)ノ
I believe this is the first time we have spoken. Are you the community manager?

First of all, thank you for saying that my ban from the Astar Discord will be lifted.
However, it appears that it has not actually been lifted yet, so I will contact you later via Telegram.

Regarding whether I violated any rules or engaged in disruptive behavior in this matter, I still do not agree with that assessment.
When I was banned from the Astar Discord, several of my friends went to request that my ban be lifted, and I believe that Astar also bears some responsibility in how that situation was handled.
There are various other things I would like to say, but I will refrain from putting them into writing.

I am struggling to understand the current situation in which I was banned from the Astar Discord as someone with a broken personality, while in Soneinas I am evaluated as a scout.
Is the Astar community strange, or is the Soneinas community strange?

During this probation period under monitoring, I would like to determine that for myself as well.
Thank you for lifting the ban. :wink:
