As a bounty manager it is your responsibility to do the due diligence about the project you manage bounties for, the users participate in your campaigns, etc. So if there is a scam, issues regarding the bounty then it is your responsibility and you can't chicken out of that with an alt. Remember, alts are permitted, that doesn't seem to be the issue. The issue is just connecting the alts so incase any abuse such as what has happened, both accounts are tagged.
If you can prove that the bounty funds are not held by you or you request the devs to have the bounty funds escrowed and held by a trusted member then such a situation wouldn't arise. Yes, some people are stupid and will jump the gun to rate you negatively but I doubt a DT would do so provided you back your case properly.
To be blunt, your excuse is bullshit. If you wanted to test the trust feature though in my opinion you should not be allowed to become a bounty manager because why are you managing bounties if you don't know about the basic forum features such as trust. Even so:
- You could have tested the trust feature on someone like Satoshi on whom no would care if you left an unwarranted positive trust cause the man truly deserves it
- Let's say the above didn't come to mind then and you have to send trust to your own profile then why not set a neutral rating? It doesn't have to be positive after all
- Above all you have absolutely no reason to write what you wrote "Sent him BTC" when you clearly didn't. That is the definition of trust abuse
Let's start by defining merit (sourcing Dictionary.com)
something that deserves or justifies a reward or commendation; a commendable quality, act, etc.
Begging does NOT justify getting merit. And as for your concluding line of that paragraph, " I will go through their rules in free time."
So essentially you have time to manage a bounty and do other stuff which works in your benefit however do not have the time to read the forum's rules. You deserve to be punished.
tl;dr
Analogy time!
Drug Dealer (getting busted by cops): I didn't know peddling drugs was illegal, my friend told me drugs are easy money. I'll maybe look up the rules on Drug Dealing later when I have some free time
I already let you know the truth, all other things are created by your thinking. your wish whatever you want to do.
