📋 Clarifications

⚡ Disputes
Rebate Gate remains the dominant ongoing conflict. Community members (sonderwrld, vader17, kryme69, vilius.u, lochnload2718 and others) are demanding a public post-mortem on secret 80% maker rebate deals given to select accounts — described as tens of thousands of dollars in unfairly distributed advantages. suhailkakar (Polymarket) engaged briefly, stating "a bunch of things are getting finalized" on rebates, acknowledged the taker delay increase as a response to feedback, but dismissed critics as "3–5 people." Community rejected this characterization. vilius.u urged a full honest post-mortem. lochnload2718 called for taking the campaign to Twitter under #POLYREBATEGATE. suhailkakar then went offline, further inflaming the channel.

A tweet from @caronpolymarket hinted it may be coming, but no official confirmation.
