I haven't watched the video yet, but I read the post and the comments. As you may know SWC was part of the incubated communities in OCD at one time following @guiltyparties' request they'd be added there. Over time, though, we started noticing some things that seemed off and then discussed things both with curators within OCD and some people outside about the community and the person running it. Unfortunately it seemed that there were a lot of holes in certain places which left a lot of leeway for abuse as we couldn't verify things like if these authors really are posting by themselves or if there's a format they're following to make the posts look similar, on top of that it also opened up suspicions if the athletes owned their accounts or if they'd been given keys after someone had created the accounts for them which is a giant vector of potential abuse in the future as we saw with another community we had to remove from the incubation recently. (Basically a community leader who had given a lot of accounts to people was waiting for them to go afk to start unstaking their hive and taking them for themselves)
There were a lot of other rumors at the time, some that may not necessarily mean the leader of SWC was a bad actor (being in debt) but with all the uncertainties above could trigger some attack in the future that we felt we didn't want to fuel. There were also a lot of other, let's say wrong intention actions one could spot where community leaders & curators would never engage or comment within the community and the athletes, leaving engagement go empty or only applying to the athletes which we had to often point to that it felt wrong, especially since through ocd they were also earning to moderate, curate and grow the community through compilation posts.
Anyway, while we don't have any actual proof, there were a lot of warnings along the road to justify removing the community from the incubation. While we regret the effects this may have had on the actual ahtheletes and their rewards, we'd prefer to support communities with less controversy and suspicions in leadership positions. As you mention lack of transparency is often a big abuse vector in this space.
If the athletes themselves would like to create a new community for this activity to be in charge of and potentially share ownership of the community account, we'd welcome you back in the incubation.
Thank you for your worry on this, I just can say you did the right thing with SWC as it is using Hive funds and specifically the @valueplan money to fill the pockets of its "CEO". And yes, we decided to create a new community called Hive Calisthenics where all the athletes that left SWC are posting and new are coming, we planned to ask OCD curation support but we want to reach 100 subscribers on the community to fulfill requisites for entering the community incubation program. meanwhile we are working on creating a curation trail as well to try to be sustainable in time. Also, you can see that in our community we have multiple leaderships, all admins have access to the official account @hcoficial to make it decentralized and all transactions are transparent for everyone, we have been funding a weekly event on the community by ourselves called Weekly Showcase, designed to reward high quality content that is made on the community. Thank you again and expect our request to enter OCD curation program soon on Discord!
Sounds great, something more communities should strive towards!
can we just get proposal 0 over valueplans proposal and end with this nonsense in the DHF?
its getting embarrasing already
As how I am seeing the moves, that is a very good idea we will work on soon.
Greetings, a pleasure to greet you. Those rumors in which they say that users do not have control of their accounts or where the publications are very similar, that you can not see, the minimum difference in a publication is totally false, all athletes who are part of SWC have control of their keys and their publications, unfortunately at this time the Social Network X is not opening to let you the publication that made this same user @atlashv96, where he claimed that he owned his accounts. It's strong to see that we are a community where every single athlete is working hard every day to make their posts and even though they don't get any reward, we are still keeping at a very high level of posts if you want you can check it out. SWC-curation-report. However, the same OCD healing path has VOTED our publications, despite not being in the community incubation program, it is worth noting that the margin of abuse, harassment and enslavement, will never be part of the SWC training method. It is a total lie to say that SWC steals from athletes, let alone enslaves. I close by saying we are a community that seeks to promote Street Workout and calisthenics. Without further ado Happy afternoon, I hope you have a great day.
WE ARE SWC!!!

Good morning,
In response to your comment, I would like to express a few words. I have had the privilege to live with most of the member athletes in SWC, giving them help and advice to continue learning about Hive's Blockchain technology. I can assure you that every SWC athlete owns their account and manages it with effort and dedication. Although there may be similarity in the format of our publications, this does not imply that a real athlete is not behind them.
Every athlete in the community strives to improve their blog, putting in many hours of work. As a member of SWC for over a year now, I have witnessed the hard work that goes on inside and outside of Hive. This work is totally honest and geared towards the benefit of all athletes in our community. It was unfortunate to be excluded from the incubation project without concrete evidence to back up the allegations, but we respect their decision.
It is disappointing to see that due to the hatred of some people towards our community, the effort and dedication of every SWC athlete is truncated. Without further ado, I bid you farewell and wish you many blessings.
¡SOMOS SWC!
