I personally don't see a point of having multiple threads when the thread is called "DEVELOPERS COMPENSATION" It keeps everything related to the issue in a contained thread. And usually you would go to the last page in any thread that is sizable and go from there. But this is just my personal opinion. The community knew we had a 6 month package and expiration was coming up and another vote would go from there. the thread is not hidden. then it was time for a new poll and there is one. People can vote to choose yes or no or abstain from voting. However I don't see a reason for the poll to be invalidated as it was clearly in the forum thread that after 6 months a new poll would be issued to extend the compensation package.

As for validation of work the pull requests are reviewed and tested before implementation. The forums first post made clear the 30$ rate to start off with. Feel free to vote in anyway you feel you should that is your choice. every gridcoiner has voting weight. cheers and hope your concerns can be resolved.

Maybe next time a poll like this is issued the Discussion URL can contain the page number as well where the post is being made to make this less confusing.
