Most bounty managers want a proof of your ETH address, when you join their campaign and I think it's a very important one. Because it's a big business of scammers nowadays to PM the bounty manager via Telegram or an imposter Bitcointalk account and arrange a replacement of the ETH-address in the original spreadsheet. The scammer submits his ETH-address to the bounty manager that all bounty rewards will be send to him instead to the bounty hunter. This is a very shady trick to let the bounty hunters do the work and the scammers get the stakes.
Therefore, it's important to make sure that such scam attempts can't be done. And posting the ETH-address in the bounty thread would take them the possiblity to scam.

Airdrops are different and I would say it's not necessary to post an ETH-address there until there is no spreadsheet which can be manipulated.

@OP your clear answer is below Bold area

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

But unfortunately its going on forum. I don't think need to reply on thread for participate on airdrop. But team are requiring it to bumping thread. But they can do it only by google form. In my opinion airdrop thread should ban from forum, they can do it together with bounty thread.

The name bitcointalk means bitcoin discussion is paramount but with the huge number of members in the forum and most are involved in cryptocurrency as whole not just bitcoin alone it's just normal for altcoin(other coin apart from bitcoin) can also be discussed even discussion outside cryptocurrency are also touched example the politics and help section

On the Bounty section, you’ll find four stickies by @mprep that you should read (besides the forum rules):

Incentivizing posting via low effort tasks (likes, follows, etc.) is NOT allowed
Users posting "joined" type posts when not required or allowed will be BANNED
Incentivising posting within one or more threads is not allowed
Giveaway threads are not allowed

An airdrop falls into the category of a giveaway, and therefore should not, per the above posts, ask the forum members to post low value posts to get their airdrop (the campaigns can recollect the necessary information on external sites or google docs (or alike)). If you are just asked to post your ETH address as a means to join an airdrop, then likely you (and the whole thread) are in breach of the rules.

Bitcointalk forum allows airdrop ads and other ads on its platform,and it's up to you to drop your eth address on them if you wish to, the forum has no business with this,nor is scam moderated if you fall into the hands of scammers
I'll advice you to stay away from most of them,as they are either scams or not just worth it
