Your thread title and your OP don't match? But regardless, I think that the number of scam projects is roughly the same as it was 6 months ago in terms of ratio, but now we also have to contend with the fact that a large fraction of ICOs are doomed to fail. There is simply not as much money in the market as there was last year due to the price crunch. If an ICO fails, the bounty doesn't get paid, so you stand the chance of being either scammed, or backing a crap project that fails to generate its tokens at all.
Honestly, I do not agree with what you are saying. The number of scam projects and failed projects does not depend on how much money flows through the market. There will always be a good portion of scam and failed projects no matter how the market performs. Research and luck help in differentiating between legit and scam ICOs according to me which is why I urge op to do his/her research before choosing a particular bounty campaign. 
Topic: Why More Bounty Scam? - page 4. (Read 537 times)
I wish there were survilence in this from for bounties, to remove the scam ones before they post in this thread their project, it would takes a lot of time and need a big team coz there are some icos posting their thread daily, best thing we could do is to do our own research and stop joining scam bounties, if the population gets that mature, scamers would know that they can't defraud more and would rather to go somewhere else!
The merit system was necessary to its purpose, which was to encourage quality posts. Now that its accomplished its aim, i think it can be revamped accordingly. Anyway, the woes are for that extra bit of income, which will compulsorily resolve itself with the upward trend in the market.
Its unfortunate that there are a number of scams in the bounty platform today, doesn't matter why they are scams, but the fact that they are scams in the first place is very scary, i THINK MOST OF THE SCAMS TEND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT , most bounty hunters dont pay much attention to research on the bounties they participate in, as long as the rewards seem to be good, they will always be wiling to take part in it, most are fooled by attractive rewards and end up committing to scam bounties.

There are more bounty scams because they find bounty as best source of income in crypto. Scammers are those people who wants to get rich easily without exerting so much effort and resources. Other scammers just want to ruin the image of crypto and are paid. Pity for them, cause these people don't reach success because they are not contented of the things they have. And I really believe that those who are doing good and persevere with what they are doing are rewarded but those who lure and trick others are punished. Let's be more careful and vigilant to avoid scam. Say no to scammers.
I agree with you. We must now be more careful again. Many of those who play dirty by promising projects that offer great benefits, turned out to be a scam after arriving mid-way.
The increase in bounty scams has nothing to do with the Merit system introduced on this forum to tackle/discourage spammers.
Bounty/ICOs scam is the easiest way of extorting money from crypto investors presently hence the increase.
Bounty hunters should be careful in choosing projects to advertise so as to discourage these vicious scammers operations.

Many people get angry because there is a merit system which makes it difficult for us to up rank or because of rising bitcoin prices that make everyone want to earn money with dirty (greedy)

when there is merit, we will make a quality post, then there will be no spam post, I think bitcointalk policy is very precise, but there are still shortcomings
Because some of them are greedy and want to make a profit without having to pay a fee then therefore they make fake ICO and for us who are in this forum to be careful when investing in ICO. Make sure that they are genuine or fake.
Delaying the bounty rewards for months should also be termed as scam because bounty participants promote the project and help it to raise funds so i believe that they should be paid first for their work and effort holding their reward is unethical and against the labor laws.
I agree, especially when the ICO was successful and collected millions than the people who supported the campaign were part of the success. But then you have projects like Thrive or Bridge that are not even able to spend money for listing on exchanges...

While it is true that there are so many scams going on, we need also to be very vigilant on this. If you see something then say something, report that to the proper persons so that actions against those scammers will be taken. According to you?
Simple logic
There are more bounty scam because there are more fake icos
It’s all easy and does not require hard thinking

The title is asking about why there's more of bounty scam.
And when I have read what you're going to ask, why are you whining with the merit system? you can directly ask the question that correlates with the title.

Not a scam bounty but the ICOs are already intending to scam from the very beginning the ICOs were made. The team of ICOs are fake and have already planned it. If we want to know about good ICOs maybe we should see the rating of ICOs in some famous web and look for whether the ICOs have bounty or not.
More scam icos is definitely going to lead to more scam bounties. So as a bounty hunter, one has to be careful and do some good research before partaking in them so you don't spend months wasting your time promoting scam projects.
The levels in bitcoin talk are only usable for the signature campaigns , for the rest of the campaigns the number of your followers is important. For signature to have higher level means to write better content , that everybody would read so the signature giver would love this more of course so its totally fair 
Bounty scams are not related to the policy in this forum. It is usual to have scam projects here because this is a portal of income and we all know that the greediness of the people leads them to fool other also.
If all projects here are just genuine, though the competition becomes difficult, atleasy you have a chance to make money even you are a junior member.
By the way, energzine is also a scam project. Check it out in icoethics. You must remove your signature also and find another bounty.

I think that this might be a part of the reason from which this problem will flow off. But if people would be more sincere and honest, we will have less scam. According to you?
The scammers sees ico as a great opportunity for scamming investors in the cryprocurrency world. They come up with a type of bounty with a very attractive roedmap and a well formulated white paper. They scam investors and go with their investment without giving them the coins they promise to lay them for investing in their project.
But nowadays, some ico decide to scam their bounty hunters without any reasons which is unfair. They n
Don't pay bounty participants for the work done for promoting their project with their social media.
