Dear Council,

I would like to propose a tip to Paradox for three well detailed reddit posts.  These posts have helped me as well as many others better understand recent 'hot topics' surrounding crowdloans and some risks associated with such.  They are well subscribed, upped and have received many comments, demonstrating a genuine benefit to the community. 

One of the benefit's of providing support via Reddit is that it appears the site is well-indexed within search engines and this is beneficial when users are searching to resolve issues within our eco-system. This approach may also help to reduce some of the repetitive question noise posed by users within official discord channels and other mediums. Paradox has provided support on a range of topics over the past three months, but I have cherry picked the following three due to their detail.

Post one contains detailed reasoning as to why accounts are being reaped after contributing to crowdloan and that you don't require the ED to receive rewards.

Post two contains a PSA to warn Ledger users to not contribute towards crowdloans.

Post three is the most detailed and contains a guide to help users inspect transactions to determine if a project is using the contribute system or a balance transfer.

Paradox follows up each thread with answers to further questions and updates as the case might be.
