I'm not sure about the bounty situation as I'm not involved in the distribution, but I received all the tokens that I was supposed to receive.
In all fairness, bounty hunters have been low-quality-spamming the telegram for weeks about their bounty payment even when a proper date was announced for distribution.
The bans started coming because the discussion had no ending, bounty hunters kept claiming they are unpaid and the members of the project kept stating their terms & conditions, Its not suprising these bounty hunters that kept flooding the chat got banned because it became a serious annoyance for the community.
I recommend that you refrain from working with this project until the dispute is resolved. Those who ask uncomfortable questions in the chat of the project, just ban.
I understand you have some bias here as you obviously think you're right, else you wouldn't be making this thread. But the team and community has put up with the bounty hunters flooding and spamming for weeks at a time before taking drastic measures such as banning them from telegram. I think your statement is misplaced and I think the team has every right to deny payment of certain bounties when they deem it wasn't of quality, fraudelent or somehow else infringed their said terms & conditions.
Also very few are complaining about not receiving payments, so you should ask yourself first if you did anything that could have given the team a reason to not pay you, such as fraudelent behaviour. The ones that do complain are spamming the telegram up big time, as I said... so don't be suprised to get banned for that.
