## ❓ Why Review Contributions? <a href="#how-to-find-your-previous-contributions-on-the-meeds-platform" id="how-to-find-your-previous-contributions-on-the-meeds-platform"></a>

When suggesting an action to contributors, you can define the default status of the contribution:

* **Pending**: Points are on hold until validation.
* **Accepted**: Points are awarded immediately.

If an action requires review before allocating points or badges, you can set it as "Pending." Once reviewed, it will be considered for the leaderboard and rewards.

As a Program Owner, reviewing contributions helps to:

* Detect errors or fraud.
* Reject previously accepted contributions if necessary.

* Once rewards are sent, **Accepted** or **Rejected** contributions cannot be reviewed.
* Only **Pending** contributions can be updated since they have not been considered for payment yet.
