I did many twitter campaigns and for many bounty managers I have the same problems:

1) I have to spend a lot of time to know when the campaign will finish -> why you just don't make a RED  text in first message on TOP saying " BOUNTY FINISH AT...." ?
2) I have to spend a lot of time when the campaing has finished to know if I have to do something (Like making KYC or filling a final form etc...) -> why can't you ask this information when we joined the bounty?

So please take my advices..... as bounty managers ask us to follow the rules, please try to make our job more faster and easier as you can...

I think it’s quite easy and difficult
Before you participate in any bounties; read through every rules and regulations so as to avoid been blacklisted ReD

Similarly you should also avoid filling the form twice or perform malpractices

If you do above
You won’t have problems with bounty managers

I red always the rules and I did'nt have particupar problems with any bounty manager like been banned... but I just want to ask if it's possible to make our lives and work easyer with the 2 points I wrote....
if you manage 10 campaigns this is irrelevant, if you are managing more than 50 or 100 campaigns and every week you have to spent more than 5 hours only for checking if a campaign is finished and if there is something to do, this is a real waste of time..

You literally mean to urge bounty managers to always signify at the top of the thread that bounty is over
I think you are right
But i believe if you do share their posts on twitter, you monitor the progress of the project
Bounty ends when ico ends
Thats enough message i believe

I definitely agree with you, time is precious and it flies when you have to double-check everything and find out important information on your own. Especially if that info is not written on the first page in campaign rules. It happened to me also that the rules on the bounty thread were different then those which admin in PM gave me. I try to avoid confusing campaigns like that and I suggest you to do the same. There are too many to choose from, why not invest some time into choosing the best and easiest ones. :)

Many bounty managers do not show when the campaign ends , only add weeks , if the company goes so long it is adding a lot of people that is bad for paying

Only a good manager already do this. They provide a detailed information on his thread likes: End of bounty, Weekly report and clear detailed rules.
I hope all manager will know this and make bounty thread easy to understand.

because in my opinion bounty manager can not ensure the right time to tell when the bounty is finished, because most bounty will be finished if the ICO of bounty is finished and most ICO that increase their sales time, so bounty manager can not tell the right time to when bounty finished and about KYC, maybe at first dev does not suggest bounty for KYC and by the time ICO is finished and bounty will be paid soon then dev make new rule for bounty to do KYC, I think bounty manager only runs the task from dev, then in each we follow bounty there must be a rule stating that the manager can change the rules at any time, and if you join the bounty means you have agreed with the rule.

If only because you do not know when the end of a bounty campaign, then you just go to their website, we can see the date of ICO and the end of ICO. When the ICO ended then ended the bounty campaign.

For the 2nd statement, maybe I agree with you

This is very important. People dont get paid or disqualified for alot of reasons being the fact that they do not follow instructions and news. People out to follow the instruction else they will lose out at the end. Its good to do bounties for projects that have good bounty managers. This is imperative for  your effort to be reward

Most of the bounty manager make our task complicated while some won't stay clear terms the rules to make comprehension simple,  it will be nice if bounty managers will stop assuming they should know what I  mean,  all rules and regulations should be well spelt out and make it in simple terms, moreover every important information or announcement should be boldly written at the top of the thread if possible at the beginning of the ICO to know when the ICO start and when it'll end.

This is very much needed as it will help all the members on this forum. Managers are actually very busy and thus they might not be able to update.

Most bounty managers may not give you all information needed concerning bounty It is in your place to ask the manager or acquaint your self with some apps and other site. I get information from places like bountylords, tokenmarket. ICOALARM is an app you can download from google play store, it provide all the information you need to know about almost all the ICO ranging form the starting day, ending day to the exchanger the coin is listed.

Bountyhunter not protected from unscrupulous managers and campaigns, very often there are campaigns where changing the rules of bounty, the bounty change time, change report form, postponing payments, a bath for questions on charges and reports, many simply do not answer the questions of the hunter. This is very unfair, because bounty hunters are practically free labor, who mostly faithfully follow all the rules and want their work to be rewarded. Maybe you should think about bounty hunter's Union to protect their rights.

I think your suggestion is good. It will speed up the correction of bounty participants. But every bounty manager has its own way of managing their work.

several campaigns sometimes cite when their campaign is completed and sometimes not. This is reasonable because sometimes the campaigns have a renewal term or could even reach the target after the sale is completed.

I have no trouble in finding the end dates for the most of campaigns that I join because it is always written in the bounty rules. Sometimes if they dont know about it then they will just right TBD (To be Decided) but thats okay as we can always check back later.

However I do agree that we are getting forced to fill up the KYC details to get the bounty rewards at the end of campaigns and that the part where it becomes most frustrating one. I mean why would they not mention such critical job before the campaign starts! Its good to be decided and have the actions taken on the same.

That's right, but there are several points to which the company's bounty manager can not influence. One of them is the end of the company's bounty, a crypto project can carry the start of the sale of coins, and other problems may arise.

you should also join the telegram group project, in the telegram group you can ask directly to the admin and their team. You can also ask your fellow members who join the telegram group to find out the project information you have participated in

To be honest, you are getting paid a decent amount of crypto for quite an easy job in most cases. I don't think there is much wrong with the way most bounty announcements are written and if you have a problem understanding the rules, maybe make a spreadsheet or practice your English skills (not a personal attack)?
I'm involved in a few bounties and I've never had a problem. If you actually follow the project and read what you are re-posting then you will know when the ICO has ended.

Fully agree with your suggestion, but unfortunately, these suggestions have been mentioned many times by numerous bounty hunters, but there is no bounty manager to care for them, and those unscrupulous devs often change rules freely without any punishment！

I dont know what sort of campaigns you had been participating in, but most of the reputed bounty managers clearly mention when the campaign would end. Whether it is Sylon, or Yahoo, or even atriz, they inform you beforehand.
At times the manager himself doesn't know when campaign would end since they wait for response from marketing team who evaluate the current going campaign. In such a case the manager cannot commit a wrong date and hence doesn't comment. Such things are out of his control.

I agree with your suggestions....expecially for 2nd point....  also I don't understand why some bounty manger (not the most popular which are skilled and expert) don't write clearly start and end date of each week..mayber the bounty starts on wednesday but for first week the period is till sunday...it's confusing in this cases..

It's pretty easy to find the end of the bounty campaigns as most of them will end with the ICO public sale and most of the reputable managers here will always include the end dates of the bounty in a certain format like it will run 4 or 8 weeks you should read the thread carefully as you may miss the information always make reading and researching your habit and as for the KYC issues, some managers will post the requirement at the beginning of the campaign and some will not so it is always important to ask directly to the managers or to the official telegram group.

not all bounty managers write about it. but in my experience usually bounty ends according to the duration of ICO's.
bounty ends when ICO ends. but not all bounty is also like that, there are also some who only running for a few weeks from his ICO.

Even if it is stated in RED, for the fact that you are running different campaigns simultaneously you will still be confused as to when one of the campaigns ends. What I do is to create a whatsapp group for each campaign I run, then I add all the details needed for the campaign including the end date. These method will make it easier for you to run as many campaigns as possible simultaneously.

yeah. but most of the good managers add weeks on end of the bounty post. Because of they can extend it easily if project developers decided to extend bounty program. But many of guys do not mention clearly about KYC process otherwise participants didn't ask it directly. I also saw that fault. Some of the managers mention it if projects request it directly. But hope it's good if they post it required or not directly on bounty post. This is a good post to all of the bounty managers.

I have my propositions:

1. Why not implement google form for tracking FB and twitter bounties? If you care about cut spam here and reduce hostility towards bounty hunters.
2. Don't ask to reply to bounty and ANN threads with some stupid messages, use google forms as well.

But nobody will hear me because they interested in bumping those threads at any cost.

It actually depends from a bounty manager. A good bounty manager usually specify all this information in the topic post. So all you need is just read the rules and follow them. And also the best way to find all the answers about the bounty is to ask in a telegram group.

For you to do the bounty of a ICO project means you are also supporting it to be successful. Some changes of rules can occur in between the campaign and it is your duty as the bounty hunter to keep yourself updated about the changes.

one of the finest point they raise in this forum thread we need to understand how much hard work will be there for bounty hunter but bounty manager  need to understand before taking any decision

The bold part actually got my attention and because they know the turnout would be lower if they had asked for the KYCs at the beginning and they know that it would be difficult for someone who has painstakingly do the promotion for 8 weeks then have to wait for another 4 weeks after the ICO or preICO before receiving his payment would have no other option than to fill the KYC or else he losses his pay. Another part that really annoys me is telling people to always quote the last weeks report to submit the current week what's wrong wrong wit editing the application and post your work done. You then see bounty threads getting to over hindered on what that shouldn't go beyond 30.

I do agree with you. Lack of information is confusing and it makes us waste our time. The rules must be clear and mentioned on the first page. Sometimes they write other pages of the bounty thread and we miss it. We cant check all the pages if there is a news. You spend too much time to learn it.

Managers often complicate the work of bounty hunters, but I believe that a manager's job is harder because he has a lot of responsibility.
should be mutually supportive and managers must respond to questions from participants. this will be a good medium to continue to provide convenience.

There are still some approachable bounty managers that listen to bounty hunters suggestions...but many of them already taken to the moon by their EGO..they should start to realize that bounty hunters are the most potential investors of all projects because they are the one doing REAL research more than those investors that just saw the project post on social media..

I agree with this one..bounty/community manager should be approachable and easy to talk with..I remember talking with a CEO and developers of one project,they are very respectful and treat all members of the chat group equally (bounty/investors)..thats the kind of attitude everyone should follow..

In here the dev are the boss, so if you wanna get paid do what the boss said. Easy right ?

The bounty manager just do their job, counting them. The dev are the problem dude, you can't blame the bounty manager, and you are free to join if you can what they do just let it, you have spent your time ? yap that was a risk, just feel it.

And if you wanna profit from ico, please join the Whitelist by buying their tokens.

sometimes they really add it in the first page of bounty thread. but not all managers do the same so you need to update your self and read all the last  post in the bounty thread you join to know.  its your job to do so i dont see reason why you are complaining besides it can easily find it before you post your report read the thread and you will see update.

When you join a campaign, you need to follow the topic regularly. You also need to track the manager's article and review the first page of the campaign topic.

I have same problem,when you ask it in the thread you seldom receive replies, and in telegram channel they don’t give direct answers but not all.
The thing is, we need only ask them and be patient. Even theu themselves may or may not know if ICO would end as planned or would drag longer.
Due to considerations and issues that may aris from investors, and I mean big time investors.

I feel sorry for you but maybe you just charge this thing to your experience in which the next time you join another campaign then try to double check and review their road map in their website then ask it in the telegram so that your time will not be wasted again. Sometime BM are very busy but i agree to you that as we follow the rules the BM should do their job of updating immediately so that we will know if our rules were really followed.

I thought you will going to say the prayers here in the forum because if you do then there is a possibility that we will be able to determine your religion. Anyway we are having the same thing that came up to my mind. Some bounty campaign managers are not doing their job well and they are not giving stakes also even if you have a complain already and followed the rules and regulation on that bouny campaign. I bet they are somehow tired on the numbers of bounty participants that they allowed to join in the campaign which made them moe complicated on managing the bounty campaign.

There are different bounty managers with different managing styles. Some may provide intact informations that you may want to know, some will let you know when will the ico will launch or will end.
But still, they are the manager and we (the participants) tend to follow their campaign rules.

I have a prayer to my bounty manager hope they can work with good and good reputation to be trusted to be a good project holder and keep every trust there. so bounty manager can work optimally and there is no cheating. that's what counts.

I've found the end date in most of the ads I've added, so I think it's time to check the page.

Since we have chosen the reward of the project, we should always pay attention to the dynamic of this project, because we are already the employees in this project when we join.

You obviously have a point and i am in one with you. But to no offense, bounty managers have equally so many things inline for them likewise to attend to.  Checking reports were undeniably occupying most of their time. Taking part in the campaigns telegram channel is one way of knowing all there is to know in regards to their campaign. Be observant. Asking questions will not hurt us a bit. I think we as bounty participants should also do our part.

If there is no information on post who made, then open the ICO website you belong to. land within the site will certainly there was a time when bounty ends. for KYC is indeed rare who gave information and only some are told from the beginning. specifically for this indeed should there be information in advance so that it can be easy to prepare all the requirement.

In some cases, the bounty manager is just an estimate of the end time at the very beginning, and many projects will temporarily change the end time, and more will be extended. There is also an unsatisfactory fundraising by the project team, resulting in the inability to pay the rewards in a timely manner.

in my opinion, Most gift managers cannot give you all the necessary information about the gift. It's in your place to ask the manager or introduce yourself to some other apps and sites. And Just a good manager who's been doing this. They provide detailed information about their favorite threads: End of bounty, weekly reports, and clear detailed rules. I hope all managers will know this and make the gift thread easy to understand.

it was the same as what I experienced, so I kept reporting on the job every week without knowing when the campaign was over and that made my time wasted.

Agree that sometimes we have to face difficulties in mentioned issues. At the same time managers also have to manage many campaigns at the same time with thousands of participants and rules could be changed very quickly by the owners of campaign . I thing bounty managers also not interested in answering same questions about end of capaign, KYC etc and they understand our problems.

I fully agree with what you have said in this regard. we are experiencing many problems such as changing the rules afterwards, not being notified when the campaign is over, giving stake missing. Sometimes you can remove the signatures one month after the signature campaign is finished :D

Of course, they try to make the company more simplistic, but not all bounty managers do it. Therefore, it is worthwhile to look at each of them.

yes I agree with your opinion. I even still have one manager who has not completed the rights when a small part has received but why most have not received. but the project is long overdue. so please the managers to always provide detailed information.

OP is right. I hate how these bounty managers do not put the necessary information at the start of the bounty campaign so bounty hunters can know exactly what they are getting into to know if they will participate or not. Springing up the compulsory know your customer protocol after the bounty hunters have finished posting is misleading and should not be allowed. please change it.

I also agree that the company bounties would write in their conditions more precise requirements when the company started working when it finished accepting the participants.  Not everywhere it is written - and it really takes a lot of time, which can be spent on more promising work.

Different Bounty Campaigns have different bounty managers with different rules. I think as a bounty hunter it is our job to read and check before joining any bounty campaign to know if the campaign is still going on or not.

I think it currently is not a big problem. many bounties already provide information on bounty until when they walk and even use KYC and not. even when it is extended also will be informed clearly. the bounty of good will have everything systematically and perhaps when you come across many that don't have clarity might be questionable quality bounty manager.

Real reasons why I join bounties that are well spelt out about their dates. There are some bounty managers that are good at that and I follow join their bounties, any bounty that is not specific about start and end date is not for me at all. It does not matter how much they promise to pay, I will prefer a one or two months bounty that has specific duration as it helps one plan his activities and know directions better than living in assumptions. Time is of essence

I think few ICO do it as you described in your post mostly do well but take some extra time now incoming or recently finished ICO as compared to previous year bounty distributions.

sometimes the bounty manager is very lazy to fix and update his thread bounty, but you should also join his telegram official so you know the bounty has ended and the development of the project you are following

Absolutely, we, bounty hunters should be well informed about the most vital information about the campaign in order to efficiently use our time in creating the best advertisement for the company. We should help each other not just one party doing its business.

Currently, I see most bounties have a support group on the telegram, and the bounty manager regularly updates the changes on it first. And I noticed that a lot of bounty hunters really did not pay attention to the information given when the campaign started and ended. So here is the bounty hunter bug or bounty manager?

actually the bounty manager does not have full power over project progressiveness, all of them will be thrown at the special team that handles it, if there is a delay or update, it is not 100% a bounty manager's fault. there are still those in power above the bounty manager

I never join any bounty campaign have not clarified the finish day of the bounty, no spreadsheet update, no answer the question, even the hero manager hosted the bounty but they have not clarified the rule, at last, you didn't receive any reward in this scam bounty.

To be honest I never blame a manager about the bounty outcome. It is not their fault if the ICO endes up being a scam because they have no way of knowing it as well. Just like us, the bounty managers are being hired by the ICO's and they can only see what we cab see on ICO's as well.

I am very close to my colleague who is an assistant manager, I really understand how busy they are so sometimes they don't update their spreadsheets. but rest assured they are not lazy. they are only busy with all their work.

I completely agree with the author of this post. Why do you need to spend your time on basic things? If the manager has everything written and understood in the tape, then there will be less of the same questions in the Telegrams. In any case, announcements simplify life.

I think the biggest mistake of the bounty hunters is, they join too many bounty at once and it makes them unable to update the news in a timely manner. When they realized the trouble, it was too late for them to fix it

Lately, managers usually provide all this information in a branch, so I basically had no problems with it!

It is a very great suggestion, but in my opinion 99 percent of bounty managers are doing this. I do not know in which campaigns did you take part in but a qualified manager will always make an announcement that the bounty finished.

Well, that is one good plan when it comes to bounties, and it is the same thing here. Although sometimes, I tend to bend that rules when I know it is a bounty that will end up succeeding and there is every chance that the project's ICO will most definitely end up successful for so many reasons which I have never been wrong, I can decide to go more than 2 months.

Nonetheless, I believe it is always a thing to be cleared out in the beginning when joining a bounty, so in a way it is always better to at least make sure that you are doing your best as much as you can to always make do with what you can when it comes to the rules.

One thing with some bounty hunters is that they actually do not get to check the bounty they are getting into and even bother to check any of the rules, and when some things happen, they just simply start complaining instead. The information is always there, the rules are always there and it is left for you as a bounty hunter to look at them, do your own diligence and see if it is something that is going to be worth your time or not. It is as simple as that.

Your request is understandable, but it is unlikely to be fulfilled.Simply because each bounty company is managed by different bounty managers who have their own rules and behavior.Follow the rules are basically large bounty platforms.They really are all simple and clear.I like Amazix and BountySuit.And the fact that you spend a lot of time searching for information is a normal situation.You probably want to earn more.Well, do not complain that you do not have time.Participate in fewer bounty.

Lately I have seen bounty managers signify that bounty closed at the very top and they lock the thread after providing links to telegram for any form of complain

I’m sure every bounty manager will take full advantage of that as well
Without doubts

Most bounties end once ICO ends. So, you must look at it your self. Most bounties indicate it on the rule depending on the manager. KYC information, whether it is needed or not is also written on the general rule of the bounty. If not, you can feel free to ask it on their telegram.

I think OP faced this problems due to joining the scammer manager or who are not fit to be bounty managers. The scam projects always hire the bounty managers who are greedy for getting high commission for managing campaign without checking the project properly. Due to that the bounty applicants joined also get scammed by joining the scam bounty.

so it is always recommended to join the reputed campaign managers who manage campaign perfectly

This is a common things with some projects these days. The reason is that, some of them know when they will start, but they do not know when they will end, mostly because of the market situation. Which is why participants are sometimes told in some campaigns, that the bounty will continue until the token sale ends. So the token sale might or might not be postponed.

Like that more clearly. don't worry there is now a series of bounty that include general rules about when the bounty campaign ends and filling in KYC at the end of the campaign and if there are changes that will be announced in threads and telegram groups

Which bounty manager do you mean ? I think you follow bounty manager out of this list
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085997.0
At the first time we want to join we should know of detail the bounty rules,if you feel they not manage the bounty with good term thats your choise to not join them. Personally im follow bounty that have spesific start and end at the bounty thread. For more detail im always look ta their spreadsheet first. If not update i will not follow their bounty campaign,i dont want to waste my times
