Yes. Nice set of points you listed on here. Glad you got that negative trust removed just by discussion with effected member.

Hi everyone,
Today I was one of these people that was chosen as a target and someone pretends to be me in the Astrogame bounty (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2608398.new#new).
In the end it went that I received negative trust (thanks god I was able to explain it was not me), anyway getting back to the topic.

If admins/mods would modify/create rules about bounties that each participant have to have same ETH address on his profile and in joined bounty it would avoid at least such problems as I had here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29299804 and also this would gives bad times for imposters (even if you won't join bounty and someone will pretends to be you because in that way he will receive more stakes) because they won't be approved with different ETH address (so no point to do such scams).

Another must have rule for bounty managers should be managing participant list (I know most of them do this task). Let's asume that you already joined some bounty and you provide updates each weeks and someone join 2nd time with your name but different ETH address, in the end it can go to that place that original user won't receive reward because imposter will be rewarded before him (going from bottom to the top of the list it can happen).
If such thing happens bounty manager should be responsible for such HUGE mistake. Maybe all of bounty managers should create formula in the excel file which will check duplicated names/profile links.


These 2 rules should help us all and reduce this type of practice.
What do you think?

I support your claim. Scammers get to take advantage of other peoples work too easily nowadays.
