I understand that a lot of you guys do not agree with what I think is a bit needed step here in this forum. This is just my idea and I am very much open to your responses as well, positive or negative. Neither am I saying that this forum is not a great venue for enriching discussions.
However, if you consider the forum, say, 2 to 3 years ago, there is a very big difference. Instead of informative threads, what we can see in abundance right now are threads that are either pestered with repetitive replies or sheer spams.
I believe that the more serious members of the forum do not really find strict rules in terms of bounty participation too limiting or choking. Bounty rules may not really be a big deal to them. My hunch is that they are enjoying and far more interested in participating in interesting discussions rather than in complying bounty rules and requirements.
Topic: Would you Agree? (Read 196 times)
I am in favor of putting a little more regulation to altcoin-paying bounties. Here is a list of my recommendations:
1. I think there should be a limit as to the number of participants, not just in social media bounty but also in the signature campaign, content campaign, and the rest of the bounty campaigns. This will highly avoid some bounties to get raped.
2. Rules such as stakes depending on the number of posts rather than on a weekly or bi-weekly or on an overall basis should not be allowed. This is one of the primary reasons why we are seeing a lot of trash posts.
3. The number of characters should be increased to somewhere around 200 to 300 to make sure posts are not just garbage spams.
4. Newbies should not be allowed in bounty campaigns. These people are called Newbies because they are here primarily to learn. Not only did they end up messing around most of the time, they also end up posting merely for the sake of ranking up or complying the bounty requirements.
5. There should be a rule requiring that posts should be made with at least 20-30 minutes interval.
6. For a bounty campaign that assigns stakes on a weekly basis, posts should be done in at least 5 days. The same level of requirement should be implemented in a bounty campaign that assigns stakes only after the entire campaign is done.
Do you have anything more in mind? I need to hear your thoughts on this!

A lot of this really depends on the situation...
1. Why should there be a limit? If a product is good then a lot of people will participate, and if it's not then not so many.
3. There are a lot of times when a short 50-100 character reply is what is most proper, having just the right amount of information.
4. What if someone is really a good programmer and just registered on the forum, why should they be artificially prevented from making progress?
5. And if I want to answer 3-5 posts in a 30 minute window of time and then move on with other things? You want to artificially make people's work slower?
6. Why not in 3 days? Or 7 days? What makes you think that you have just the right answer with 5 days and that this should be the law?
Basically, these things can and should only be determined by the owners of the platform where they are happening. So, for example, if the bitcointalk.org administration wants to limit the number of posts to one every minute in order to reduce spam from bots, that is their decision to make. If someone doesn't like this, they are free to create and administer an alternative platform. But who can just come in and arbitrarily dictate the rules? No one, and if there is such an entity that thinks they can do so, they are acting as a criminal entity that does not respect property rights.
I agree. I think some of those regulations would help with preventing some scam bounties. There are too many scammy bounties anyway so I think those will be better for the long term.
I agree with this because we can be safer and some rules are good and have an interactive platform, because many bounty scams, in my opinion, it is better to follow bounty within 5 days, to follow the requirements of bounty campaign
I don't agree with these regulations. One of the reasons why people of a country uses the digital currency is because there are no regulations about it. I think this is a free world and anyone can join. Rewards should be for everyone and not just for someone who are superior to others.
I also agree with your opinion which is precise and accurate, due to the application of such a possibility for us bitcoiner easier again to see the results of our efforts and could see the results of our efforts.
If consider from our perspective, so we would want a bounty thread, the less people to participate in, so we can get a greater return on investment, however, from the perspective of the project team, they just need to get more publicity channels, and then the limit that I don't agree.

putting any kind of constraints on the number of posts inhibits natural flow and interaction. Stilted replies or ones meant for the sake of post count are hard to miss and should not become a yardstick setting rules for a healthy interactive platform such as this.
i agree with you, for all bouny managers out there i think this is what we need, but i know that some bounties already implementing these. Also with the dates, some bounty doesn't have specific dates per week.
