that is a nice plan. I think it will be also good to put some different language on the discord channel

We already have a unofficial apecoinDAO discord… can boot it back up

This thread originally was not written as a proposal when others were commenting on it. I have written a counter proposal to this that will instead revamp & utilize the existing unofficial DAO discord.
There is an existing DAO discord community & moderators that would benefit from this funding. I do not support AIP-77 going forward.

I’ve been searching about discord channels topics and this is a great proposal!
It would be nice to have a fun and interactive place for the community. Channels for memes and artwork is what I’m looking forward to.
Thanks!

I agree and I will definitely support your proposal. Discord really helps a lot of people these days for easily communicating and showing their talents in arts

Thank you for the feedback! But for some reason my proposal is getting ignored for a few months.

There is a complete ignore from moderators. Looking for help I tried to contact a few ApeComms team members @Halina.eth, @0xSword, @Amplify, and @Lost. They are also ignoring me, and that makes me suspect that they are somehow influenced moderators or Special Council to kill my proposal because it partly competes with their $998k proposal that they created after I submited my proposal for moderation.

Hey, our proposal went up to vote and was rejected by the community on Wednesday, so we’ve had a busy week. I do know of your two proposals, one is a process proposal, and the other is this discord proposal. I do not know why your proposals are stuck. You will need to speak to the ApeCoin DAO administrators about this issue. We have no influence over Special Council or the ApeCoin DAO administrators. I’m hopeful that RedVulkans proposal AIP-144: Establish Moderator Response Time Guideline can help clear this up. The Apecomms proposal would’ve given us the ability to also check on the status of these.

I’m sorry to hear that. Your proposal is great, please don’t lose hope!

@0xSword Did you or other ApeComms team members use The ApeCoin Foundation resources to get an advantage over my Discord proposal? Did you contact moderators, administrators or the Special Council members about any of my proposals?

This is a great idea. It would bring the community all together!

Sounds like a lie because today I got information that you have already used the newsletter you are getting paid for by The ApeCoin Foundation to attack my Discord proposal in order to benefit the counter ApeComms proposal.

@wAPEd AC Watch is an independently ran newsletter, where I receive a grant each month to speak about news, opinion, more on the ApeCoin ecosystem. I often give opinions on proposals. In that same article, I showed favor for marketplaces, though I still participated and treated all of them with respect. I apologize that you are aggravated by this. However, as token holder, I am allowed to voice opinion, concern, and support for projects.
I cannot and do not represent the Ape Foundation views on any topic, which is made very clear across the entirety of my publications. I disagreed with your proposal in July, before receiving my grant, and voiced publicly in this thread. I still feel that hiring outside moderators vs active DAO members is not the way for a discord to operate, and I made that known, as is my right to do so with any proposal. I am under no obligations to suppress or be neutral in my opinions either here on the forums, in my newsletter, or elsewhere.

@0xSword Your opinion piece in the August 18th ApeCoin Watch newsletter is a clear conflict of interest. The scope for your newsletter DOES NOT include opinion.
From AIP-66 reads:
“It should be an aggregation of ApeCoin specific ecosystem news, AIPs, conversations, opportunities and content sourced from Discourse, Discord, Twitter and other internet destinations. The newsletter should promote and educate all things related to the ApeCoin DAO.”
What you wrote on AIP-77 is a hit piece. As far as I can tell, you did not write any other such opinion piece since you won the grant.
I don’t support AIP-77, but I genuinely feel bad for @wAPEd. You’re using your ApeCoin-funded grant to write personal attack pieces against other community members, presumably for your own benefit via ApeComms. This is sad, inappropriate, and completely unacceptable.
From your newsletter - “My problem with it: Who are the mods? Not me.”
Not cool.
