Topic: How to remove 90% of scammers from airdrop/blog bounties/signatures (Read 538 times)

Well im not 100% sure that i am an excellent member of this forum and worthy enough to not to be in the list, but i think managers must have a standard like SMAS list or DarkList. I do believe if "some" managers put works and times for their job, this forum would be less spammy than right now.

That's very vague.  What campaign were you in, what were the rules, and why do you think you weren't violating them?  And no, there's no fucking bounty court to take care of your problems here.  You're on your own, and if you didn't get paid for something you think you should have, the only thing you can do is leave a feedback on the manager's trust page.  You'll probably get blacklisted for doing so, but in your case it's probably for the best.

But with no details given, no one here can even offer you solid advice.

Guys, who can answer me such question? I was in such situation that I was working hard during the bounty not violating the rules and after that, the admin of the bounty said that I have violated the rules. I have reread the rules and noticed that the rules were described not correct and many people were suffered not only me. If there any person who can help handle in such situation, like judge in court )

Making a user put an eth address on their profile still doesn't stop multi accounters from cheating the campaigns. Some of these cheaters own 20+ accounts according to the alts thread.

The blacklist do not works in this case, you will blakclist only honest people, as scammers use the profile of a genuine person by changing only the eth address. Verification via the eth address on the profile is the only way to look at honest people. In the shivom bounty they also used the profiles of Lauda and Mitchell as you can see on my personal log:

I think what coinlocket$ meant is a perp deliberately re-applying on someone's behalf with the perp's ETH payout address
so the spreadsheet would have double entries of a targeted user, then the last entry (if not both) is getting paid
there are already some threads opened talking about this, some called it "profile hijacker"

Goddammit, what technique?

Multiple accounts using the same tweet, or using the same tweet for different bounties?

I find ABUSERS that use this technique on every bounty where I join. I can post examples if needed.
This is how it works: People try to steal other people work using their data and a different ETH, on airdrops, telegram campaigns, blog campaign, signatures even social media this is the solution to avoid this problem.
This is not only for signature abusers.

@yahoo62278 for example this one also scammed on your campaign(BoutsPro), aswell amaxiz campaigns and others on telegram/airdrop https://etherscan.io/address/0xac70e5fdf245a9fa2fadb5357a74bc801819104d#tokentxns

@The Pharmacist, I agree some bounty managers simply don't care cause in the end they will have the money anyway only buonty hunters will be afflicted by cheaters. I see a lot of people using bot also (probably I need to start to report them aswell, but I've reporterd over 200 abusers so far and I'm not a manager and not payd ), and the question is simple why if I can find them without searching them but only reading some reports above or under mine, managers can't find them?

So what I propose is automatically link social media accounts with an ETH address. An ETH address will be stored in the user's bio, so one account can only be used for one person? No one can claim that another's is theirs.

It's not hard to use GoogleScript or even Sheet formulas to scrape a Twitter bio, IIRC.

Correct me if I'm getting anything wrong, OP simply says "solution" and proposes something convoluted and doesn't clearly state the problem they are trying to solve besides "scammers". Is it bitcointalk accounts claiming multiple social accounts or vice versa?

Instead of being eager to accept a campaign, these newbies taking their shot at managing bounties should be more firm in options they offer.

Scammers on airdrops are a problem nowdays, some of them has over 10k abusers.
How can managers finds the fake account?

I sorta disagree with your stance that the Manager are the whole problem. You have to look at the whole point of the bounty campaign to understand my thinking here I think.

Companies do these bounties for many reasons. My belief in their main reason being is they get these coins created and want to do marketing at 0 cost to them. They have to put 0 out of pocket money into the campaigns from that point. They could care less if users are spamming the forum, or if accounts are being banned for posting trash. All they care about is they get some exposure for bottom dollar. Hence why you see all these new managers popping up. These reasons are why I feel its the companies fault and not the manager.

So, I suppose technically it is the managers fault for accepting the job, but not all managers are shit. If you look at the bounty campaigns I have done you will only see 1 bounty campaign that I ran that had a signature campaign along with it. I will not accept most bounty campaigns that want a signature campaign ran with them usually. I believe if Signature campaigns were disallowed from bounties, the whole forum would benefit and see less of the bullshit spamming. Signature campaigns should only be a paid advertisement option IMO. Either the company can afford it or they cannot. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Bounties should be reserved for all other forms of marketing. Twitter, facebook, youtube, blogs, etc. This would only cause clutter in each particular bounty thread and not all over the forum being as users have no reason to spam everywhere with all the bounties being off forum activity. The only thing that might contradict my opinions here are the translation thread. I personally believe having a billion threads translated and placed in each local board is retarded, but I have allowed companies to utilize the option. I would be just fine if it was banned from bountires too and companies were forced to put a little more effort into their webpage and have it in many languages instead.

Anyways, these are my thoughts on bounty campaigns. Maybe Theymos will read and agree with some points
