It's very important to always create Proof of Authentication in every bounty campaigns you join even if the bounty manager don't request for it, why? Because this will safe you from unnecessary red trust from DT members, some cheaters go around stealing people's bitcointalk information to fill bounty forms without you noticing, atleast not until you realise you have got a Red Trust on your profile, this is very common in Telegram campaignsand social media campaigns like Twitter and Facebook campaigns, I want to use this opportunity to pass this information to all DT members and BTT Forum managers and admins, please kindly allow POA from all members to avoid undeserving Red Trust, I've heard from people on here that their POA got removed by admins on this forum, this POA is a life savings in this case don't you think ?? Thank You

UPDATE
Please bounty managers start considering POA, as you can see it will help a lot and will get rid of spammers easily, lack of POA is why cheaters spam your campaigns and since BTT admins can remove POA if you don't ask for it ( SPAM ), please start making POA a must.

This has been a problem in the forum for a very long time, some bounty hunters apply to bounty campaigns using the accounts of other members of the forum in order to earn more stakes and not only this is unfair to the bounty camping they also affect the users they are stealing their account name, now if the member has a lot of reputation on the forum then the other DT members can easily tell it was not them and can tell all of this situation was caused by a scammer, but in the case the user is not well known then most likely he will get red tagged and it will take a long time to demonstrate their innocence so proof of authentication posts seems like a good measure against this.

Whatever the bounty manager asked for is what we should do, if problems occurs be ready to face it on your own, if you don't want problems stay away from any bounty project that failed to asked for proof of authentication, if a cheater use your information on other campaign it will be hard to come out clean

I think we should bind the ETH address for the bounty campaign with an account. This will help with two things one is no one can sell a BTT account because a BTT account can have only one ETH address. Also, scammers will not be able to use the BTT profile for bounty registration because participants will only be able to get payments with the ETH wallets that are connected with their accounts.

Although, the campaign manager does not ask us to do authentic evidence, but with our habit of doing authentic evidence in a bounty thread, it has become a habit for us to do it, I am very supportive of making authentic evidence in order to avoid Red Trust, hope this can help us avoid fraud ..

I’m in favor of doing post proof of authentication to avoid stealing of information since mostly cheaters are doing it on behalf of your account. It happens to my social media account that someone joined the campaign, imagine those people can easily steal your info. This is why having POA is really helpful to the users.

The importance of POA posts cannot be overemphasised when it comes to participating in bounties. Several persons have earned a red trust due to the absence of POA posts and with the prevalence of unscrupulous individuals using other people's information, it's wise for bounty managers to make the POA post mandatory for participants in bounties.

If bounty manager didn't ask for Proof of Authentication then you are not supposed to post POA or else it will be considered as spam post.If you are afraid of red trust then don't join into the bounties and if you found someone using your details for bounty rewards then create thread in reputation section to get them deserved rewards.

Exactly, Actually day by day many bounty hunters are joining into forum specially in nCOVID time. They are thinking forum is a source of income but for that cause they have to follow the forum rules as well as bounty rules. So when bounty admin prohibited to join with POA, only with form of join but they create POA in forum. This is sure spamming for forum also for bounty. So as you mentioning POA is a life saving, sometimes its life killing. Here i think everybody should work behind it carefully.

thanks.

one of its uses is to avoid cheating from bounty hunters. yes, it looks spammy, but when the manager made a policy to make it easier in managing the campaign I didn't think it was a problem.

POA is not spam post, but this is so important, even if don't require, try to imagine you join in campaign without POA, also in the form registration not required it, but at the end of campaign maybe developers or bounty managers try to cheat, so he makes a new form, but in the new form POA is mandatory, they say "for proof that you join in the campaign". What will you fill??

POA is so important for future case

POA is very important but few bounty managers are still stupid enough not to implement it on their bounty campaigns, they are the ones complaining about cheaters joining campaigns with many stolen identities/Profiles, POA makes things lot easier and smooth for any bounty campaigns

That's correct, a lot of new member that doesn't fit the minimum requirements sometimes steal high rank profile link member to get join the bounty. Hope that there's better structure to prevent spam without POA, but so far POA is the best way to avoid it

Having POA is really a good thing to minimize those spammers around and prevent those tagging of red trust to an honest bounty participant without his awareness. I think POA posts are not yet compulsory by this time but hopefully this will be given consideration this time by those bounty managers even if it means additional work for them because this is really a life saver for all of us bounty participants.

I agree that to avoid scammers, proof of authentication is required, as I've experienced my Bitcointalk account being used by someone else before a bounty required post authentication, and this is great for avoiding cheating from happening again.

Proof of authentication is really helpful for us since there are some who stole social media account links to join some campaign or cheat some bounty.
At least if we have authentication post the managers could easily check the users old Proof of authentication post to verify if they are really the owner of the social media that is being used or the crypto address really belongs to the bounty hunter.

authentication , like we used to see when we login on site where you need to enter such code that they sent in your inbox ? but it can also be done other ways if used here in the forum . i remember cheating have happend before when the time that airdrops are still popular .

cheaters grabing email address and bitcointalk profile accounts from the honest users but those acts were spotted and regulated before but it does not mean that we need to stop doing poa .

This is a wake up call for those bm who have not introduce the use of POA in there bounty, it is very important they do so, even though majority of the bounties are already requesting users to submit POA in the bounty thread, still you will come across some who are have introduce if, there are many people with bad intent in the forum, it is btter not to give them opportunity to exercise their bad intention, so all bm's should always request for POA from hunters to prevent shady actions.

I always ask for the Proof of Authentication post in my own campaigns and it is required in the most campaigns from other managers too, but as you can find in the bounty section rules: "Users posting "joined" type posts when not required or allowed will be BANNED". So you should be careful and don't write such post if it is not required in the campaign rules, no matter how useful you find such posts, rules are rules.

This is very true op, proof of authentication is very important to avoid duplicate of accounts and attempting to steal other users work.

So far what I know about Proof of Authentication Posts is the main key that is very important as a presence representative, meaning that what has been entered in the spreadsheet is the same as the identity you provide and can be used to avoid identity theft which is usually done by thieves who use identity you to participate in a campaign.

It's true that proof of authentication is very important but I suggest you shouldn't post it if the bounty manager doesn't request for it, this will turn the post into spamming and forum moderators will remove it, I think this claim of yours should be targeting the bounty managers that don't implement proof of authentication on their bounties .

Yes, and this is a very simple matter and should not be debated because every campaign participant must refer to the rules set by a campaign manager, if indeed the proof of authentication is requested by the manager then make it, if not asked then don't make it, Simple.

Correct, if cheaters bombarded any bounty campaign it's the bounty Managers fault, we don't have to tell how important POA is, bounty managers should know better, if bounty managers ask for proof of auth post from every participants it's fine and if not it's on the BM, admins will remove your POA if the BM failed to ask for it.
