Topic: Bounty thread with self moderated lock - page 3. (Read 563 times)
No need to pay too much attention to the topic of moderation, you should care about the quality of the project and the bounty manager. If it is a good project and a reputable manager in this market then I believe you should participate in it without doubt.
It depends on who moderated it if the bounty manager is highly reputable I have no problem with that and his intention is to protect the campaign from spam and useless posts, I have participated on campaigns that were moderated by a bounty manager and things went smoothly but different if the bounty manager is part of the team, that is highly questionable.
The first thing you should pay attention when you join a Bounty campaign is a Manager. If he has a good reputation on Bitcointalk, it does not actually matters whether the thread is self moderated or not.
Only projects that have something to hide use self moderated bounty thread, they use this to avoid any strict questions from members of the forum, I don't have any reasons to trust projects or bounties that use self moderated thread
Guys please be careful with bounty campaign threads that is self moderated by the bounty manager, it means you won't be able to ask questions or raise an alarm in the thread, presently it's what the bounty manager of ibidtowin project did. Most self moderated bounty thread are scam
If in doubt then don’t participate on their bounty program and if you are experiencing a problem and you think the project is a scam then better to report the thread, or open an accusation about that project.Self-moderated doesn’t mean a scam project after all, but you must do your best to know its a legit scam or not so you will not waste your time working with then. I rarely participate on bounties, but I know how to spot them as a scam or a real one.
Self moderated bounty threads is a bad move for the bounty manager and the project itself, bounty manager might have reasons for using self moderated but I don't see it's usefulness because even if the thread isn't self moderated the BM can still remove any unwanted questions or posts
in my opinion they use Self-moderated to look better and look legitimate, just to manipulate a few participants, but somehow we are still careful in choosing the bounty before joining It's no wonder and there have been many cases like this before. actually joined bounty managed by their own team has enough risk in between.
- lock thread bounty
- lock ann thread
- manipulate spreadsheets
- reduce bounty allocation
- not pay participants
I've been into that kind of bounty campaign too, there were many bounty hunters didn't get paid and the campaign that we're participating was just faking everything.- lock thread bounty
- lock ann thread
- manipulate spreadsheets
- reduce bounty allocation
- not pay participants
I'd definitely stay away from such project because the moderator will easily erase any vital questions from the thread, it's a trick of hiding something about a project, reliable projects don't need to use such moves
I think they do this to prevent members from posting something about the project they don't want people to know about, by self moderating a thread they will be able to delete any criticism from members regarding the project or bounty, so once a thread be it announcement or bounty is self moderated you should be concerned and probably avoid it.
Actually this is an old trick and yes they do this to prevent participants or other members to post suspicious information about the project. Most of the time they also do this if there are participants that kept on asking about the bounty or the information of the exchange, etc. Their solution is to either remove or lock the thread to avoid questions and run away so easily.

Not all self-moderated threads are a scam IMO because many managers use self-moderation to keep the thread clean from bot posters. If you have noticed some accounts keep posting their social media submission even though the campaign had ended long back.
The only reason why someone will use self moderated on a thread is to monitor what members are posting in the thread, it's another good way to avoid tough questions, the BM can easily delete any unwanted questions or posts
This is the bold move of scam projects. They will enable self moderate to avoid such questions from scam hunters and easy for them to hide whatever flaws they are hiding. Users should report any campaign that has self moderation. This must be remove on this section of the bounties. Meta section does not have the feature to make it on so this one can be done too. 
I think some managers do that, self-moderated. Because the usual reason is when the campuses end, they can lock in the topic. I didn't know moderate was dangerous like many people said here, to get fake reviews if the announcement thread.
When the scam coin like ibid has been using moderated thread and any awareness for the hunters to avoid join in the ibid caused by it has been getting so many accusations will be removed by the moderator or thread starter. This makes the hunters will blindly promote the scam project.

welcome to Bitcointalk.org and welcome to Bounty scamming mate,you may be newbie in this field because you have no idea about this rampant technique of campaign manager making their thread self moderated.i have been part once of the biggest scam in the history of crypto but i still don't understand whats the big issue of this moderating the thread.
lately that i finally realized that we are a victim and lose our 1 month of time promoting the said project.
Now i already learn my lesson and never joined any bounty runs here,old days are gone so why would i risk my time in those shitcoins.
though there is a currency that i thought is scam because of not showing any progress for years but recently make a move up,though the value is still peanut still i have some views for the future.

Another thing, participating in bounty campaign should only done with a reputable bounty manager. Even if it is self-moderated, as long as the bounty manager is well-known, there is nothing to worry about. There are other bounty manager that do self-moderated threads to avoid questions and possible accusations about the project. They can easily manage to hide it to other members, so, we really better be careful.

It should not be self moderated cause there are some observations and notes by the participants that need to be seen and taken measure by campaign manager. Where do you see a campaign that is self moderated? Actually there is no rule about that but some manager activate this feature to avoid such spam and deletiom of some content that should not present on the thread.Maybe there are sensitive managers who dont like a dirty and crowded thread so they put it to delete some of those nonsense comment.
I think these are shady projects, and if they get FUD from the community then they will undoubtedly delete it. That's why they create a self-censoring topic, never waste your time on campaigns like that.
I don't see the sense of managers moderating the thread. It could be for managers to keep the thread clean or keep it from spam. Anything can happen in any bounty projects and there are reputable project managers out there, so if you are doubtful about a manager's credibility in handling the campaign just do not join.
