Topic: Ask The Bounty Team before joining - page 6. (Read 909 times)
I also had a similar issue with a bounty I participated at a particular time he extended the bounty period without reviewing the bounty pools and all the efforts in allowing those who want to quit were met with deaf ear, and he is threatening non payment of token to those hunters that defies his order its was a bad experience but I had to move on.
Before participating in the bounty campaigns, you must make sure that the development team is real people who will not deceive you.
Despite this, the rules may change during the campaign.

Correctly. You have to analyze some points and be sure to ask questions to bounty managers to find out all the points. This will help to make an objective decision.
I like these questions but from what I noticed recently from a certain bounty I am doing is that sometimes these changes are not the fault of the bounty manager, sometimes they want everything to be as it were from the beginning of the bounty but due to unforeseen circumstances, the rules are meant to change, so I think the bounty manager might not be able to give adequate answers because the project just started.
Its now in the nature of bounty managers to go back on their words and fail to fulfill their promises.
It's either they're extending dates,reducing rewards,delaying payments etc
Verifying,by asking all this questions would change none of this, even if they give positive answers initially,they could still come up with one excuse or the other and ask for understanding and patience
I think the only way this can be stopped is if some sort of legal action can be taken against managers who back down on their initial words

In most bounties, I think the rules of participation are explicitly spelt out to everyone who wish to take part. Sometimes, such concerns as raised are legitimate questions to ask but you may not always get the right answers from bounty managers. Mostly, changes are made by the team behind the project and not the bounty manger.
If I am in your position, I will not participate again and choose to leave the bounty. By force, it has become an indicator that they only want to commit fraud and use all those who participate in their bounties to promote their fraudulent projects.
It's a good approach to ask but most answers you'll get are lies to get more bounty hunters or just the response 'wait, we can't say it yet, it will be announced 'soon''. Joining a bounty is always a risk of being scammed for the time and the majority of projects don't follow their own rules.
Most of these ICO is a scam that's why bounty hunters should ask a question first whether they have to add something at the end of the campaign. It is being practiced in most ICO to add/change some rules after the campaign is over. Although, there are trustworthy bounty managers but you can barely count them unlike to those newbies manager. 
As far as I know if the bounty manager is not part of the team then all the changes will be coming from the core team so don't blame the bounty manager as they just following the order of ICO owner but I think they also have some responsibility to clear issue like these with the team to avoid confusion on the bounty participants.
i do not think that the various bounty managers are informed before about the real intentions of the team of the icos, however now is almost an unwritten rule the extension of the ico for a few months because they all plod and can no longer raise enough money, instead is write it since beginning that the rules can change at any time, the only way to protect yourself in some way is ask that the bounty tokens be transferred at the beginning of campaign at an escrow
Maneger is only worker not owner of the project, maneger has no power to protect the gifted team from fraud, maneger has information that is limited by the project team, and all sudden changes often occur from the project team without giving prior notice
You forget that at the beginning, when the bounty campaign is launched, there is always one rule - the bounty campaign rules can be changed at any time. As the ICO team decides, so it will be,the bounty Manager is not to blame here,almost always he is the same employee as we are with you. Until the regulation of ICO by the state authorities begins, I think such topics are useless.
Recently, I just had this bad experience with a bounty campaign I joined (Vanta to be specific). They've extended the campaign, added some task, and threatened participants that they'll not get all the bounty rewards if they won't participate. I raised my concerns to the bounty manager and I was quite disappointed with the response.
To all fellow hunters, you may want to ask this questions to your bounty managers before joining a campaign:
1. Bounty campaign extension
- Will the team ask for an increase in the bounty pool?
- Will the team close the registration and allow only those participants prior to extension?
2. ICO team inserting rules after the campaign
- Will the team allow ICO teams add rules like exchange voting and require hunters to participate?
- What would be the bounty team's response if ICO teams would withhold the bounty rewards to force hunters to participate?
These questions might help you understand how strong the bounty manager is when it comes to protecting its group of bounty hunters.

I think the manager is doing everything he says. I do not think that they tend to protect hunters. If their reward is high they simply follow the terms of the project.

Finally did you receive the reward from that bounty campaign?
I don't see a criminal in adding new tasks but only for new participants that connected after new rules implemented
There is no shame extending a bounty for more coupe months, i t happened to me more than once & it's just fine as long as the project is legitimate. I got paid for doing 1 year bounty last couple days & other bounty is finished months ago & their tokens will be locked for bounty hunters for 12 months, so it's normal as long as there is enough transparency about it.
Lol
Asking the bounty team is not going to help
Except you want to find out basic information like bounty timing and the rules and terms

My experience with two recent bounties is not so good.
One bounty got ended early and that also with reduced rewards and one bounty got extended for four weeks.
In both cases there was a statement from bounty manager that they are just managing the bounty please and all decisions are from ico teams where they can not influence it.
Day by day the trend is increasing and we have to be careful about it.

These are good questions. I might ask the bounty groups that I am into before participating in the campaigns that they run. It's better to know the position of the bounty managers from the very beginning.
Yes, that might be an annoying thing if the project is extended. I think they have problems in raising funds. This situation is certainly not convenient for bounty hunters because the rules have been changed. Managers do have the freedom to change rules. But you also have to think about the fate of the bounty hunters who have helped this project.
the majority bounty manager is paid by the team from the project, and it depends on the team's decision, indeed the question is very good and has a high level of question, but if things don't want it all depends on the project team
