Topic: Bounty thread with self moderated lock - page 4. (Read 563 times)
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
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.
No.Even if it's not self-moderated, they can lock the topic at their will. It's lockable anytime as long as they are the ones who made the thread. It's not dangerous but there are valid and invalid reasons why they do it.
That's the risk for those bounty hunters who are chasing a little bit of higher rewards as the reward that will be passed to bounty manger will be included in prize pool. It has some advantages as well .
Yes, it is very dangerous for us to participate in campaigns like that, I have seen a lot of scam projects with censorship topics and bounty hunters cannot denounce them on those topics.
Thank you for pointing this out, it's really bad enough cos most of the Bounty mangers are now using it as a way to do exactly as they want which to me isn't ideal, we'll have made the mistake once and don't intend to repeat again

No, even if they are self-moderated, you could always make a new thread to warning other users or start an accusation thread. Just as right now, you try to mention about ibidtowin's project.
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
Yes you are spot on and right, i have my own restrictions as regards ibidtowin as well. But why would a Bounty manager hide or self moderate a Bounty thread? That's a redflag.
Also, Bounty manager that refuses to give a direct answer should be ignored

I thought nobody is seeing this, I've seen few bounty threads that are self moderated, if I ask any questions it won't take a minutes before the OP removed the post, I think it's better to stay away from such projects, something is definitely fishy about self moderated threads 
Self moderated thread is reasonable if its used for a good purpose, some managers might use it to prevent the thread from being spammed. Its okey if trusted managers use the feature but I’m hesitant to new ones using the feature because it could be abused.
Self-Moderated not only for that's a purpose, even a popular manager will use self-moderation.
The reason why they doing this because when the bounty is over the manager will doing a calculation stake so they will lock the thread until the calculation is over. The manager will unlock again when the calculation is done, sometimes bounty manager will give times for all participants to check the result or make a complaint about the calculation if nothing wrong at all he will lock again.
About scam bounty, you are responsible for your self when join the bounty for making due diligence from your self.
i think this opinion more objective than other's comment. just due this moderation we call this as scam project, there are another important reason that be our concern facing scam bounty.

Yes, those are dangerous and shady projects. If they intend to scam then you will never be able to complain because they will delete all negative comments. I never participated in such projects

Yes we should avoid self moderated bounty thread because usually they want to cover their red flags, unless you know who they are.
Some top bounty managers are self moderating their thread to reduce spams which is a good thing.
Hunters should join the campaign on normal thread, so they can raise questions freely.
It depends who is the bounty manager of that bounty. If it's someone who's reputable and decides to moderate the thread, the purpose is to avoid and delete spam messages.
But if it's coming from someone you don't know and just came by through the forum and made a thread for an unknown project, well, you got the right mindset thinking that they're removing posts about questions about their project or bad reviews.

It is not a big deal unless the people behind the project have mal intentions or they want to cheat people because this self-moderated thread will help them to edit or remove each and every comment or response so they can delete some responses if the thread is regarding a bounty campaign and by doing so they may deprive the legit participants from their rightful rewards.

I do agree on this, self-moderated thread specially for bounties are like censorship. But if you did ask questions and was deleted, you can open a thread about it in Reputation board to call the attention of the bounty manager. But definitely, this is a red flag to me.

Yes, I agree with you, and most scam projects make the thread to self moderated in order to prevent people from exposing them,this indicates that they will not pay bounty hunters in the end, Also, you notice in the first comments on the topic that all the comments are positive from Newbie's accounts. If it is an honest project, its team must answer all positive and negative questions and eliminate investor concerns and fears, They do not need to delete people's comments.
Sometimes the teams are scared of negative comments and fud that is why they use this option.
But i do not think it is suggested option, I mean let people complain or expose if there is something wrong and i think no serious project will have problem with that
Rather all good projects encourage the feedback and they should try to overcome the problems identified and be active and responsive this will boost community trust and will have a positive impact on the project.
