Topic: The good the bad and the ugly -bounty weekly report spammers- (Read 439 times)

I wonder why there are still people who like to join bounty campaigns even though many people are already giving feedbacks about the bounty campaigns that most of them are scam or the tokens doesn't have any value at all. Not really sure why but my guess is those people didn't care much about other things and what's on their mind is only joining ICO and earn.

I would like to commend you for having this kind of thinking. many new members of this forum only wants to join bounty campaign they want to rank up or create social media accounts so they can participate in bounty campaigns there are so many newbies now where it's population are on bounty campaign.

I haven't joined the bounty since I joined this forum. Many reviews say "joining a bounty or airdrop is a waste time. Most of the bounty project reviews after 2017 is bad. This is the reason I haven't joined the bounty project at this time. I am more interested in a kind of direct prize with established rules. That's more certain, there aren't many rules.
Apart from that, maybe many more signature campaign is more certain because the payment btc / eth. This payment can of course be cashed in fiat, unlike tokens that are still unclear about their future. Some time after I registered in this forum, I saw signature payment with btc/eth is good results and many people wanted to join.

Thats right, thats what I thought since the first time I knew the bitcointalk.org forum. It never occurred to me that I had to have the consistency of posting useful things before I really realized that joining a bounty or airdrop was a waste of time. Luckily I only joined 1-2 bounty if I didnt forget about it and that was enough to make me disappointed because there was never a price until now. I havent joined a bounty or airdrop for a long time and I have become accustomed to joining a signature campaign since my rank is still a member.

The signature campaign has changed my habit for the better, started to gain an understanding of the forum, improving the quality of posts until I managed to achieve hero ranking. There are many positive thing we can do as long as we want to do it in the forum, and contribution are things that have become imperative for me even though the impact is still very small compared to the other.

Damn, I wish I had a bit of his dedication 'cause I am always slacking off -- not participating in stuff I somehow know  . Well, anyway, isn't it more exhausting to copy several links and report here and there than actually thinking substiantially of what to reply/post in certain discussion, eh? Great find btw  . What a rare person he is.

Yeah, might be sad. Rewards are mere recognition, of course, and is a bit of a problem considering the number of users this forum has. However, not receiving any rewards doesn't make you any less of a great person you could be as long as you keep doing your best, and it doesn't mean you have to perform less than you have before. I mean just do things (better if it ain't bounty report) you enjoy without expecting any reward so that if you don't receive anything it won't make you feel bad  .

Not in too many (but it does somehow add up to 71 pretty worthless tokens), but enough to find out that it’s rather meaningless. When I first joined the forum, my crypto baggage was down to some brief encounters with information on crypto, and some complementary assets such as a certain degree of maturity in life, besides a very low usage and affinity to social networks.

Taking place in a few bounties and some airdrops seemed like a thing to do, due to the hype (there goes the outlined maturity down the drain), but it became ever so boring after a short period of time, and thus I soon gave up on them as they seemed nonsense. They seemed to keep rolling-in months later, and I’ve never given them any thought. Going over the list, I recall two or three tops. The rest is a wonder when I did anything to get them.

Some people prefer to delete this kind of post after some time. I prefer to essentially keep them (how else could I mock them?), not in an attempt to exemplify (well ,maybe a bit), but because it conforms part of my history here on the forum. All this was all rather experimental to me, due to my lack of attraction towards social networks (of course, this forum does have some connotations that make it differ from conventional social networks).

Most people here have toyed with bounties and airdrops. It’s down to each one to recognize when those are pretty futile ways to spend one’s time (and privacy on some occasions), and move on to doing something more productive with their time …

Look at this thread, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/6000-posts-and-0-meritand-the-winner-is-5219641

This shows that too much posting of bounty weekly reports is not good. You will always be a subject to spamming because of the repeated posts. I hope this would be a lesson for everyone of us that this forum is not for earning purposes only. We have to engage to the community, study everything in crypto space and be aware of what is happening to the forum. I am glad that the user subjected to the thread was given merits (so that he ranked up). Although he has no anomaly at all, it is not good to see that all of the posts came only for weekly reports.

Wow, didn't know you also participated in alot of bounties. Even saw Helbiz (HBZ) token in that wallet, you didn't sell off. A Legendary to be member with a good reputation. I guess you realized the importance of contributing to this great forum. This is the reason why I advise newbies that comes looking for how to make money on this forum to rather do good by contributing because there's alot to gain from it aside having bunches of pages full if bounty reports.

Most of us are started into a low-quality post or a useless post and by the time goes by on exploring the world of our forum we discover a lot of things and by that getting curiosity make a research and earn knowledge and now we know about the use of the bounty campaigns and their requirement is fit on the rank we have let's say we are on the lower rank here and now we want to join because we want to earn an extra credit which is good and now after we finish the bounty one of the saddest parts is it is just a joke even you give all of your effort and tome just to qualify on their requirements . still, even this always happens like a cycle there are still many members who are being dependent on the bounty and cause too much waste of time and hoping they will earn in that bounty. We cannot blame them because they want to earn an extra income and hoping this is true.


That's why we have the report button even we have the rights to make a tag on then we just poke the moderators about the things happen to make them easier all the things they need to do and this is much appreciated by our moderators too

A lot of the good users who now have hundreds of merits have started as shitposters, myself included. Especially people who joined the forum in around 2016-2018, when bounties were kinda lucrative, so bounties were their prime reason to join the forum. Also, let's be honest, the activity system was incentivizing quantity over quality as it was necessary to make at least 1 post each day to keep ranking up.

So I think people shouldn't stress too hard about being a shitposter as long as they aren't so bad that they can get a ban or a neg trust. With enough time and effort anyone can change, and it's better to learn at your own pace rather than focusing on earning merit from day 1 - that just won't work for most beginners.

When I was new here and I checked a profile with such posts, I went to the board the Post was made I had to check again the name of the site and it crossed my mind that probably this is a section that is just here for a while that it would disintegrate -if the junks/calamities there continue it may just-.
I don't know if to put them into -stubborn- category those coin the get paid in are nothing -scam,meaningless-. I don't know who we come through after reading this but I hope it makes a difference

I think it's easier to categorize the scammers as long as there's a clear evidence.

For spammers or bad posters, we might find some but I don't like to judge them as that's the job of the moderators, and besides this is a forum where we follow the same forum rules, and spamming is always against the forum rules but it's up to the moderators to determine if an offense was committed.

Further, this forum is not only for native english speaker people, we have a general board where we can discuss in english but there are people who are not fluent enough but as long as they can convey their ideas to the best they can, I think we have appreciate the effort.

It is undeniable that this bitcointalk online forum has become the second world for most cryptocurrency user. Regardless of what purpose someone comes to the forum then being a useful user is the best goal, I think. All users do not have to be expert but all users must comply with applicable rules. User contribution to forum and communities will have a positive impact on the users themselves, besides adding knowledge, reputation will also be good.

I dont think there are user who want to be labeled as bad users in online forums, but we are not the same here. Me, you, and they have different desires, goal, abilities, and qualities. For me, good user are those who can enforce the rules, maintain the quality of post, useful for forum and other user. Also, not all bounty hunter are evil, although they are not alway liked. About troll and spammer, they will always be in the opposite direction if they dont want to change their attitude. Forum have rules, so let them handle them well.

Some are appalling. I mean, where would we categorize guys like this one?:




Check-out the amount of shitcoins in the ETH address! I mean, what can we expect from this individual on this forum really? A Legendary-to-be? Come on ...

Edit: There's a tiny twist to the examples above, just in case it slips a quick reader.

I can say that I am only a good member and learner at the same time, I already contributed some useful information here which makes me reach the full member, I am also a learner because there are still some things that I need to know, that is why I am still here, exploring on some boards, reading and understanding some useful information. It's a really good feeling whenever I read a good and quality posts here, it makes me feel like I am so blessed because I am here in this forum, for my 3 years in this forum, I have learned a lot of knowledge which makes me learn some crypto activities which I consider for some of my source of income.

Maybe those people who falls to the last 2 categories you've mentioned are still stucked to the small reward they can get at the expense of wasting excessive time and effort. They just do not appreciate the true extent of participating in the forum causing them to look that this community is a mere money making machine.

Perhaps, there will come a time that they will get tired and leave their old and awful habit.

Previously I'm one of the part of the bounty because I don't have a good rank before and I joined into two (2) bounty campaigns and I didn't receive any reward. We cannot deny it. Even there is a problem like this happen still we can see that there are some members like in the signature campaign who are giving their best to make a good quality post just to get paid and some of them are really learning into the world of altcoins. Still, the saddest part is even they are doing their best sometimes they don't get any rewards.

You couldn't have said it better. I was like your friend until recently, I started taking the forums seriously and making a few contributions even when I'm flawed I don't relent. I'm ranking up bit by bit. The forum goes beyond just bounties all these.

Most bounty users are only trying to earn a few bucks and not really concerned with contributing to forum-wide discussion. They're only here to make some bucks and afterwards, they're gone. But bitcointalk goes beyond that and that's what majority of them don't know. I have a friend with years old account but he only makes posts in bounty related threads through bounty reports. Did his account grow overtime? No. He got frustrated as recent bounties are either scams or brings little to no returns.

On the flip side, I've seen users who were formally in the bad/ugly category turned out to be good contributors on the forum. I guessed they realized at some point that the forum goes beyond joining bounties and posting weekly reports. In life, if you make money first and only cared about it, it doesn't end up well. Make meaning contributions, learn those skills first, everything else comes after.

I think bounty hunter and bounty campaign compliment each other, - many of the campaign is poor or blatantly bad so are many the hunters-.

Learning about crytocurrency is unbolting of the door to even a profitable earning on the forum.

I was reading through this post by @cryptoprenurbrainboss

What talking about what to put in mind when think of a signature campaign, many bounty hunters fall below it they don't consider anything, and they campaign do not also consider anything when selecting them -its like a happy union- but with bad results.

If members can consider themselves more on where they would/should be in some time/years -made such post before https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54331547 - then they would be more reasonable or at least to an extent
