I am having a hard time accepting that. We had to do the extra mile a couple of times (!) to achieve that uptime and now we are getting penalized? It took us a lot of efforts to get there and now this will negatively affect our ranking and contribution points.
This is not what I signed up for. Rewarding spam proposals and penalizing high quality uptime… Sad to see - disappointed. Gives me a bad feeling that the team removes an entire category after the SE concluded. I hope you can reevaluate the decision with Adrian and the rest of the team. Thanks.
EDIT: Additionally, I do not believe that a limited set of participants is an argument. Even if only a single person achieved that uptime the points should fully belong to him. Or what exactly was the purpose of this game? Everyone played according to the rules. The rules were clear. Do not break them. The people that outperformed shall be rewarded accordingly to the full upside potential.
