**Dear Polkadot Community Members**,

As a long-standing supporter of the Polkadot community, I have actively participated in numerous crowdloan projects since the GLMR project, with a deep commitment to the growth and prosperity of Polkadot. However, I recently encountered an unpleasant experience in one of these crowdloan projects, which I believe poses a threat to the healthy development and the rights of community members.

**Problem Description**:

In a recent crowdloan auction, a project named POLIMEC engaged in unethical practices. Although they conducted the crowdloan anonymously, they allowed the entire community to participate and raised substantial funds from community members. According to Polkadot's crowdloan mechanism, when a project is funded by community members, the project is obligated to pay crowdloan rewards to the participants. However, after successfully securing a slot, POLIMEC refused to pay any rewards, claiming it was self-funded.

This action not only violates the spirit of Polkadot's crowdloan but also creates unfairness for other parachain projects that follow the rules and pay crowdloan rewards.

**Proposal Content**:

1. **Revoke POLIMEC's Slot Auction Eligibility**: Considering their actions violate the fundamental principles of the crowdloan and the trust of the community, it is proposed to revoke their current and future slot auction eligibility.

2. **Refund DOT to All Participating Community Members**: To protect the interests of the community members, POLIMEC should refund all DOTs collected from participants in its crowdloan project.

3. **Demand a Public Apology**: POLIMEC should publicly apologize for their actions to maintain the health and fairness of the community.

**Call for Community Discussion**:

I sincerely invite community members to discuss this proposal and offer their valuable insights. Together, we strive to ensure fairness and transparency in the Polkadot community.
