#40007 - FOMO Party

Issuer Appeals Appeals
1
  1. #40007 - FOMO Party
  2. twitter.com/FOMOParty_Eth | discord: FOMO party 🥙
  3. We’re celebrating FOMO for the @MyBFF mint and more. FOMO Party takes FOMO and turns into JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out) and circulates POMOs (Proof of Missing Out). We talk about the friendships and communities that build in our quests for the hottest new projects, acknowledging that the journey is just as valuable as the destination.
  4. Our team individually circulates links to users who join the FOMO party, either by joining twitter spaces / participating in discord / engaging on twitter.
  5. I originally requested 200 links and was only granted 20, and told to petition for more once they were gone. A different user has previously garnered these links in the past, so it was the first time using my own email for this drop.

Hey @cropcircle

Thanks for the info and context!
Unfortunately, the POAP Curation Body made a negative review of your top-up petition for several reasons:

1- This marketing campaign is considered engagement farming:

When we say that POAP is an ecosystem for the preservation of memories, we intend for POAPs to be mementos of a particular experience. A part of the core value proposition of POAPs is that they are a souvenir your get simply for doing something you generally like to do in your life – there is no particular transactional incentive.

“Engagement farming” is generally defined as issuers using POAPs in a way that incentivizes transactional behavior. Any statement to the effect of “Do X to get a POAP” – particularly where X is an action that boosts performance in social media algorithms – is basically a marker of engagement farming.

“Like to get a POAP”
“Follow to get a POAP”
“Tweet about it to get a POAP”
…

these all violate curation body guidelines on proper usage of POAP.

2- This is a past event, and we can’t issue POAPs for a past event unless you have a list of the attendees (which is unlikely in a Twitter Space)

–

For future events: we recommend reading the POAP Quality Guidelines. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

All the best,
The POAP Curation Body
