This thread Explains it
They refuse to read the thread very well and understand the rules
They are very much in a haste to earn and that is why they earn up being scammed.
They sheepishly follow existing application
They refuse to doubt when it sounds too good to be true
***** Just imagine application kept coming in, in an April Fool's Thread.
Are these applications from bots...
This is still very relevant today and will still relevant as long as bounty hunters are not responsible enough to do research on the project they are promoting, I even see some bounty hunters getting a red trust, for continuing to promote reported scam projects and they are not aware of it because they are not following projects that they are promoting.
Then they wonder why they did not get their stakes or get tagged, that is because they are not visiting or engaging in the project's chat group and they are not frequenting the scam report to check if the project they are promoting has a scam report.
If they pay attention to the development of the project they are supporting, they would know the latest update, and that includes about its reputation. The thing is, if we support a scam project, our account gets tagged and we will never have a good opportunity to work again.
Therefore, it's very important to study, follow, and monitor the project if we care so much about our bitcointalk account and any platform that we have like a social media accounts. It's a simple logic, if you promote a project with bad reputation, then you also have a bad reputation.
