# Dispute & Guardian System > See with the eyes of wisdom, speak with the voice of compassion A core principle of Eidon is fairness. To ensure the reward mechanism remains just and accounts for potential misclassifications, we implemented a Dispute Resolution System through Community Guardian. This system allows users to challenge automated model decisions and provides a human oversight layer for content moderation and quality control. ## Disputing Posts Users can dispute any of their posts flagged as outliers by the Post Quality (PQ) MemAgent. This is crucial for several reasons: * **Ensures Fairness:** Automated systems are not perfect. Disputes provide a recourse for users who believe their content has been misclassified. * **Model Improvement:** Disputes provide valuable feedback to refine our MemAgents, helping them learn and adapt to nuanced content. By highlighting edge cases and challenging misclassifications, the system continuously improves MemAgent's accuracy and understanding of the real world. * **Community Engagement:** The dispute process encourages users to actively participate in maintaining the quality and fairness of the reward system. If a post is successfully disputed, the user who made the post will earn 50% of the maximum points possible for that modality in that quest. For example, if the user successfully disputes a **video** post for a Quest where videos are worth 100 points, the user will earn 50 points after successful dispute resolution. Successful disputes are how the model learns. They are a fundamental part of the Eidon human-agent teaching loop and may earn additional rewards in the future. ### How to Dispute a Post Disputing posts is a simple process that can be performed directly on the [app](https://app.eidon.ai). 1. Go to your `Previous Posts`. 2. Select the **outlier** post you want to Dispute. 1. You can only dispute outlier posts. 2. Outlier posts are marked by ❗ on the app. 3. Click the big red dispute button. And that's it, your post is queued up for dispute and review by our Guardian System.
### Preventing Spam Disputes are essential for the health and fairness of the network. But users should use them responsibly. There are no limits to the number of outlier posts you can dispute, but unsuccessful disputes may decrease your user reputation. Further, excessive unsuccessful disputes may also lead to slashing and account banning. ## Guardian System The Guardian system provides human oversight for disputes and content that falls within the "confusion zone" of the Eidon Network alignment score. This zone represents content where the PostQuality MemAgent had low confidence in its classification (near the threshold τ). Guardians are the highest trusted community members responsible for reviewing flagged content and disputed posts, providing a crucial human element in the decision-making process. ### **Becoming a Guardian** Guardians are selected from the pool of Acolytes, who in turn are community members who have demonstrated consistent high-quality contributions and adherence to community guidelines. The selection process for Guardians involves: 1. **Acolyte Status:** Applicants must first achieve Acolyte status through active and positive participation within the Eidon Network. 2. **Application and Interview:** Interested Acolytes apply and undergo a short interview process with the Eidon team. This interview assesses their understanding of the network's principles, the reward mechanism, and their commitment to fairness and accuracy. 3. **Good Standing Requirement:** Guardians are expected to maintain good standing within the network. Unaligned behavior, such as biased labeling or abuse of the Guardian role, will result in penalties, including point reductions up to and including full points slashing. ### **Guardian Responsibilities and Rewards** Guardians are essential for maintaining the integrity and fairness of the Eidon Network. Their responsibilities include: * **Reviewing Disputed Posts:** Carefully assess user appeals for posts flagged as outliers, considering the context and instructions. * **Assessing Confusion Zone Content:** Evaluate content where the PQ MemAgent has low classification confidence. * **Providing Clear and Concise Feedback:** Explain the rationale behind their decisions to users, fostering transparency and understanding. Guardians are compensated for their time and effort with points awarded per labeling action. The reward structure aims to make it a viable option. The current reward range is \~1-5 points per labeling event, with the exact amount depending on the complexity and type of content being reviewed. This compensation model recognizes the valuable contribution Guardians make to the Eidon Network. Future development may include mechanisms for dynamic reward adjustment based on community needs and Guardian performance. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
