well this is not true. You are able to post your own evidence in the correct period. What is true, is that, so far, the defense was virtually unheard by the jurors, which by now they’ve become precedent drones without reasoning on what is going with the actual case.
I’ve tried to solve this in several ways, for example make the challengers to be accountable by requiring them to be registered to challenge, and I’ve discussed the perverse incentives of the system in another thread. There is currently a proposal to avoid more challenges in the renewal that I think it is necessary. The jurors behaviour can get so ridiculous that it required a HIP just for them to understand what 360p actually meant and redefine the minimum size of videos.
The appeal process and the juror situation is beyond control. If nothing has changed since the last time I checked, there is only a handful of big whales holding most of the pnk in the Humanity Court so that they get selected over and over again, and there is a high chance that these are acting in collusion with both challengers and vouchers in the system. So there is an even bigger issue down the line.
I’ve been warning the leadership time after time that all of this is going to increase the bad PR associated with the project, and it doesn’t need to be this way. Let’s hope that we could do more in the future.
