I see the same mistakes happening again and again in bounty campaigns. (I've even made some of the mistakes myself).
DO
1. Be sure you understand and follow the General Rules.
2. Follow and understand the specific campaign segment rules. If, for example, a Twitter campaign says report each week by editing your first post, make sure you ONLY edit your first post. Do not Quote your post into a new reply and do not simply create a new reply each week.
3. If a Twitter campaign says to retweet with the ICO web address and several hashtags, then if the original tweet doesn't contain that information, you actually need to quote tweet and add the required information to ensure compliance with the rules.
4. Report on/by the required date each week.
5. Check the spreadsheet regularly to see if you've received stakes for your work. This will also allow you to see if you've misinterpreted the rules and missed out on stakes for a valid reason.
6. Check the Bounty OP regularly for updates. The bounty rules can be changed, the bounty may get suspended, or it may end early. Your time is valuable, so no point continuing a campaign if it's over.
7. Follow the nominated complaints procedure, whether it is to post in the thread, PM the Bounty Manager, fill in a complaint form, or ask in the relevant Bounty Telegram group. Not following the correct procedure may mean you don't get answered. It can even mean you get disqualified in some instances.
DON'T
1. If the rules prohibit Bounty discussion in the Telegram group - Don't talk bounty. You may get disqualified. PM an admin if there isn't a dedicated bounty channel.
2. Don't signup to a campaign segment before the prerequisites are met. eg. Put the signature on before signing up to the campaign.
3. Don't signup twice by accident. You may be disqualified from the campaign for doing so.
4. Don't ask about Exchanges in the Telegram group - EVER!! They are never allowed to discuss exchange listings before they're announced. And trust me, once they're on an exchange, you won't have to ask.
5. Once a token is listed on an exchange, don't complain to them about the price. The project team has no control over the price once the ICO is over. It is up to buyers and sellers to determine the price from that point on.
6. NEVER give your Private Eth Address - only give your Public Address.
Feel free to add additional points of interest.

I always follow the rules of campaigning and bounties but still my first account was banned and I don't know why. Since now, I have been using my older brother's account.
