I do not understand why, if someone misinterprets the funding levels, they're to be removed entirely and not just placed in the appropriate bracket. It really just feels like a punishment.
You say you wanted to make it right, but there was no leniency or transparency in the process until it was too late. This thread was up for weeks, and I had emailed as extra redundancy. Can you not see why someone would be upset with how things were handled?
I want to clarify again that by the time you asked, the application period had been over for weeks. You're asking for personalized investigation that a small team of volunteers reviewing hundreds of applications just cannot do. And once applications are closed, if we reopened them for someone, it would be unfair not to open them again for others. That, in turn, takes away from people who did the right thing in the first place. This is a large project involving a lot of people in great need -- the rules matter a lot and no one takes them lightly.
