Topic: Flag For ICO Projects That Scam Bounty Hunters (Read 316 times)
If we join their bounty, and in their laws allow them to change any participating laws at all times, then we can't flag them.
That's worst I guess, the bounty campaign should give a final information/requirements when bounty campaign is began. Moreover for KYC thing because there is just a few bounty hunters who willing to give their KYC to join with one project. Expect when bounty campaign is began and they ask the participant identity then the participant must comply the requirement to get the token when bounty has ended. You opinion is right, you can make a flag when the bounty rules changed when bounty end.
Which investors are you talking about again, the major investors that they need are the ones that has raised the hardcap fund for them, and once they have that money, every other investment is secondary, so the solution you are proposing really would not do anything that much, it will only stop few investors from investing, .
The people that really needs to be protected are people that are participating in their pre-ICO, they are the ones that usually commit very big money into these projects, and before these developers gets to the stage of changing rules or locking tokens, they must have collect the fund already, so what happened to those other investors, if peradventure such project end up being a scam project, because it is only a scam project that has the tendency of locking token and changing rules.

I'm okay with flagging them for asking KYC after bounty and for refusing distribution of the rewards but flagging for locking coin will not be a good one. Because it may include various reason. Locking rewards may have good affect in the market as well.
This is a cool and amazing idea which will be a warning sign to big investors how as to the project even cheated its bounty hunters and lure them in promoting their project without getting any payment form it. It will always alert project and bounty managers to act accordingly without breaking the rules themselves and this for sure can bring back the respect hunters had. This flag is what hunters need most because it will save us from cheating.
true too, it's still the same as it will hurt the bounty hunter. I think bounty managers must have regulations on the projects they handle, bounty managers must use escrow in the form of project tokens, if the manager does not use escrow then the manager must guarantee a red flag for him, if at the end of the campaign fraud occurs then the bounty manager in charge of this. I think Escrow is the right way for now or with the guarantee of a bounty manager's flag.
It's well deserved flagging those projects, terms and conditions should be kept from the beginning to the end of a campaign changing the rule midway or at end is fishy.
I think this flag is very cool we can flag and give warnings to potential investors ICO that has a bad reputation and people can support that flag.
Do these ICO's deserve to get flag if they change their rules from no KYC to asking KYC after the end of the bounty campaign
locked their tokens for several months with no prior notice that they will do it
refusing to distribute bounty hunter's stake campaign after the campaign was over
What do you think?

there are many ico projects like you say.
even some of the ones I followed from the signature campaign are not currently distributed. more than one year.
very difficult it seems to choose a campaign that is quite good and smooth.
it looks like the campaign period like the bounty will end soon.
Bounty hunters have little choice. They can only adapt to changes in project team rules. I think we should set up a bounty project distrust section in the forum, and let it be exposed in this section for projects that have changed the rules many times.
If you have evidence of fraud in any project, you can submit them to a special sections: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0
If bounty hunters do not get rewards or something like that, then investors are not very worried. In addition, as a rule, the bounty campaign ends approximately simultaneously with the end of the project ICO. Therefore, changes in the rules at the end will not help many investors.

At least in bitcointalk there is trust flag system on members of bitcointalk.
When you visit an ann thread which the OP has red trust flag, the warning will appear at the top of the thread.
This will makes hunters or some new comers more careful and very caution before supporting their ICO.
Therefore, i really recommending all hunters to watch their ann thread closely.
The idea is definitely good, but the main problem here is that all these projects pay bounty hunters after the ICO has ended... Usually in a month after the end of the crowdsale. It's too late then.

partial distrust of communication will adversely affect the development and market project. following the belly of the material, it can be done by everyone. but the cooperative attitude of the developer and manager is also important to foster good trust from the community so that they continue to support their project. 
Most projects have a disclaimer of rules change. I think rules are subject to change except the forum will no longer allow projects change their bounty rules after the campaign. I also think kyc should be abolished for hunters as they're not investors.
I don't know why it wasn't done before.In principle, everything is possible to do.But please note that the power of the word will still remain with the project team that conducted the ICO.Regarding KYC, I am also against the participants of the bounty to pass it.I don't see the point.Just because I'm carrying a project signature doesn't mean I'm a fraud or a terrorist. 
locking of tokens for bounty hunters should be stated on the thread of bounty rules. this is not fair for the participants.
There are many projects who went on this decision and tell that the bounty tokens will get the price dump once listed ( why they pay in tokens? why not in BTC then? )
But what we can really do as bounty hunters on the team that do that? if they have the full support of the investors?

I totally agree with your opinion! Bounty hunters are like cheap workers. They work monthly and get back is nothing by scam projects, or not paying for bounty hunter. But what effect will flagging have? Do we take more time to flag scam projects?
If many members of this forum will support that flag the project will have a warning sign on their announcement thread, and they are going to lose potential investors, it's time that bounty hunters unite and give this project punishment for scamming bounty hunters, if not for bounty hunters they will not reach success.

The forum will not prohibit changing regulations because changing regulations can be. Because that is the right of every manager and project team. And for KYC like it can't be eliminated for bounty hunters, if you can't do KYC, of course you don't participate in the project. really simple.

Review this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=454 and see if there is enough evidence for you to support it.
