Topic: Shouldn't Theymos act on Bounty Managers Now - page 3. (Read 1190 times)

Plagiarism is a crime, its a massive offense everywhere. Bounty management,not so much or at all. Spam is all across the internet, only difference here is, people get paid to do so, and worse of all they abuse that crap to hell's extent.

A simple solution would be to not allow any bounties on this forum since its a bitcoin forum, and to host all the altcoin bounties campaign elsewhere, but that argument has been used for far too long, and nothing has come out of it. There are a million solutions to tackle this(exaggeration), but none of them would be viable here because liberation rules this forum, so chances are very minimalistic.

Great managers can handle many campaigns at a higher quality so its not good to limit them because we honeslty want them to manage many campaigns since we can have the confidence of a good management.

Everyone can put up their bounty campaign, and even a new account or lower rank can manage that but the real answer with this one is that, its the bounty hunters job to do their best lookin for a good campaign, and report if there’s a suspicious bounty program. If there’s already a negative trust on the manager, then don’t take the risk anymore, don’t be greedy and look for other good bounties.

Suggestion to this, what about the forum limiting how many bounty or signature campaign a manager can handle altogether at a time ?  . I'm thinking this can be possible, I don't think this is controlling them on the terms and rules to the campaign but a condition precedent to become a manager. Perhaps, they could have lesser work to do so they might have the "conscience" to give more time to the few bounty/campaign they will be limited to.

Like 3/4 at a time, I hope this could help the forum. This is an opinion anyway  

Agree, I'm just referring that it was discussed long ago but don't have any output that has been done by our admins. I also liked to see how will admins set regulations to bounty managers because some of them are receiving huge payments just to fool the participants. I've been scammed a lot of times in a project and BMs are included in that action.


Systems that have been created for the forum are trust and merit system. As we can see, it's a general solution that is applied to all of the members of this community but if we think deeper, those systems cover up all of the problems in this forum, there's a lot of factors they consider before implementing the system. So basically, the issue in bounty managers will not be given any attention, even we create a lot of solutions there will be always a problem. Members are the one should change and be responsible for their actions here. The trust and merit system is enough and I think it's the best solution as of now to avoid things that hinder the betterment of the forum.

Yep, most definitely.

I don't even think it was all that long ago, but I do remember that the discussion went on with no input from Theymos and ultimately no resolution.  I'm really happy about all these bans that just happened, but I really don't think Theymos is going to put any restrictions on bounty managers, regardless of what the community thinks.  Believe me, I'd love to see some guidelines laid down for bounty managers and how they should have to conduct the application process and post monitoring and everything else, but I'm not going to bet that's going to happen.

I was Proposed guidelines for bounty managers, but unfortunately I haven't got any answer from admin. Likely admin don't want to moderate bounty section. I believe there should be something that would drive bounty managers on right way. BM are living now on freedom forum and they are doing whatever they want. I don't think admin will do something for bounty mangers and perhaps he left it for trust system .   

This is already a topic long ago, we all know that shitposting was commonly done by the participants of campaigns. The issue in bounty campaigns wasn't prioritized, it's just a part of the marketplace where we can earn income by posting. Staffs and admins are focusing on how we can develop our community into a good one. I know that diminishing those irresponsible bounty managers might decrease the shitposters but admin's actions towards the forum will benefit the whole community, not just on a specific section. Also, we can't control the rules of the bounty since they own the project, they will decide what should be done, and that's the risk part of joining a campaign.

Most of the bounty managers in the altcoin section were not that good at checking post history of their participants because they're too many of them. This is the reason why shitposting, plagiarism and spamming was very common in those kinds of participants. Some of the bounty managers are holding a lot of campaigns with a lot of participants, do you think they will manage it? I think not. Bounty managers are also a victim, but that's not an excuse to be used here because it's their responsibility to manage the bounty, they're the one who will control and distribute the income of each participant, no matter what happens, the bounty manager is the point person of a specific project. But no worries, some good bounty managers had already received negative trust.

Why there still a shitposter in this forum despite having a lot of additional systems to control this problem. They should have known that at the beginning, they already know how to speak and read, I think they should also understand the rules.

Now that stringent measures are being put in place to eradicate plagiarism and spamming through ban and all that, will it not also be time for Theymos or the admins to put in place measures to checkmate Bounty Managers on the way they run their bounties? I mean shouldn't these mangers become strict (or be forced to) on crosschecking the post habits of their participants? The altcoin bounty threads are now messy. What can be done to make it better? Your suggestions can help Theymos make a valuable change.
