If we as bounty hunters were paid the second the ICO ended, the price would be much lower than it it right now, so from that perspective, investors should be happy.
But the amount of scammers, who are forcing Jamal to work overtime are a huge problem. I really hope that we can implement some type of reputation system based on quality posts in this forum.
Right now the longer you've spammed, the more reputation you've got. Post quality doesn't matter. Most forum posts with signatures on them are written in broken English and present no value. I'm not tempted to invest because someone wrote "wow great project will very success" in some thread while holding your signature. Future ICO-s should take note and limit their campaigns to quality posters. Unfortunately, it's a lot of work to manually distinguish those, and I don't think we can accomplish that before a reputation system is implemented here.
I totally agree with you on this point. We need a lot more quality in this forum and not some crappy posts and people cheating as this gives bounty hunters a bad name. Also the term bounty hunters is quite derogatory as well. Some people do this as their full time job because of financial constraints in the real world but if you do this as a job, my advice is PUT YOUR HEART in it and DO IT PROPERLY if you want to get paid. It's not good wasting JAMAL's time as he has enough on his plate running the campaigns as a manager.
I for one have put my heart in this project and have tried my very best to do the translation and everything right, spending countless hours to finish the translation as soon as possible for Whitepaper and ANN, and then on the last day, I get disqualified for ”Bot Translation”, when I haven't used a translator for even one single word... I understand that the big number of scammers in this campaign has put everyone on edge but if we start disqualifying people who did their task, then what's the purpose anymore?
I understand my rank might still be useless, but that doesn't mean I don't have to work just as hard
That's my point, though.
You have a rank of 28, so many campaign managers will ignore you.
Meanwhile people with 500+ activity post crap like "very success will moon soon"-one liners.
The system is obviously broken. I'm not complaning for myself, I've been on this forum since 2013 and it doesn't affect me personally, but it's obvious how unfair it is.
With this type of membership status, now Jamal has to go through thousands of applicants, filtering the scammers, because there's no good way to crowdsource this decision.
If we simply had some type of reputation system here, low-quality spammers would never get the chance to participate in bounties, and thus Jamal's work would be much easier, and everything would be done on time. Alas...
You are right about that.. there is a need for a better reputation system
But what can people like me do now? I mean, for example now, I know that my translation was not done with a bot, but how do I prove that now, since the only thing backing up my words is a petty rank of only 28...?
Jamal is a much more reasonable dude than people here give him credit for. Contact him and resolve the issue. He was extremely helpful with my stake calculation, I can't see why it can't be the same with you.
