I see many bounty programs are requiring to make weekly report but some the other do not require to make weekly report. Do you know why?
What do you think about the advantage and disadvantage? Thank you.

Well, it depends on what the bounty manager wants. In my own view, I think making weekly reports is for them to be sure if the works are genuine or not so as not be dashing rewards out for bounty hunters anyhow.
My view.

It depends on the bounty manager (Just like what the other user said) they're the one who who's going to implement rules. However there are some disadvantages in "NOT" making weekly reports including:

• The abused users will make the required work in the last day of the campaign or will finish all the jobs in 1 day.
• If the above happens, the advertisement of the campaign or the traffic is low.
• It would be hard for the manager to put stakes in the participants (Except if he/she will put the stakes at the end of the campaign)

This is just according to my perspective, but if you're a manager you should conduct a weekly report because it shows that the campaign is organize. So far I haven't seen any campaigns that didn't require the participants to make weekly reports. I think it's one of the standard rules in the bounty "Make a weekly report". I think you're referring to social media campaign right?

• If the above happens, the advertisement of the campaign or the traffic is low.
• It would be hard for the manager to put stakes in the participants (Except if he/she will put the stakes at the end of the campaign) :)

Dear friends,
I think it depend on the campaign.

It depends on what kind of bounty campaign you joined.
signature campaigns dont need to submit your links or reports as it can be seen on your profile.
while in social media bounties, the manager will have a hard time to check it on your profile as people posting different ICO or topic.
but, the manager must provide a spreadsheet and submission forms for the links and not to post on any thread.

It really depends on the bounty manager and the campaign that you have joined.
Naturally for bounty managers to keep track of your weekly status in social media campaign they would really need your weekly report to tally your progress.
If it is for signature campaigns most of the time you would not need to have a weekly report which is sometimes good since it take off some of your working time doing bounties.
For me not doing weekly reports is much better specially in signature campaigns as it saves my some of my time. Also it assures me that the bounty managers are doing their job.

bounties without every week report collected on bountyhive platform and Hotachy bounty manager!

Manager irfanpak without reports. irfan using a practical bounty portal.
I see managers getting lazy and daring to replace human jobs with robots.

In this issue there are pros and cons. Firstly, as already written, it all depends on the managers (so far, without the weekly reports I met only Hotachy and Sylon). I've already got used to doing weekly reports, for me it's better, it's like guaranteeing that my work will be accurately noticed and appreciated. Although this also takes some time

Bounty managers of companies are also people. Therefore, I believe that it is necessary to appreciate someone else's work. Especially because bounty members are huge. I can form a report easily, but if the manager does this for everyone, then the calculation of the steaks in the spreadsheet will arrive with a serious delay.

Isnt a surprising thing because sooner or later people would really find out new things which would really be beneficial into its job which would really give the convenience without doing much work because of automation. They are not lazy but somehow they do able to make their jobs faster due to that bounty portal.It isnt really bad as long report accumulated are on precise numbers.They do just work smart.

These things are depending on bounty manager it self and same as mentioned above there are bounty programs which doesnt really require weekly reports.

Well it depends on what would be the rules because as someone working for a bounty programs it is your duty to do what the rules told you to do. The manager are the only one that can change the rules according to what is right to him. But still we have to make the report since it is a requirements after the bounty will end.

if social media campaign without report ussualy use bounty portal
i like if campaign without bounty portal this mean use manually

     It depends on what bounty campaign you are joined and it depends on the rules of campaign manager. Sometimes if you joined signature campaign you don't need to post weekly report but if you joined twitter and facebook campaign you really need to post your weekly report. Well,reporting is a part of your work,you don't need to complain about it because it is also the bases of the campaign manager if the bounty participants are doing his/her job very well and they are eligible for compensation.

it is a natural thing, where a bounty provides a service and we participate in the service for the money we earn and at the end we make a report for our work for one week to get paid, that is equally profitable.

Report is needed for evidence that ICO is supported by many people, reports are also needed to see the work of bounty hunter, this report distinguishes bountyhunter that work or not work, if you do not want to make report, you can follow bountyhive.

if I think the report depends on the manager. because here it is there are reports and there are not reports and what I do not know which reports are Sylon and Hotachy. and the weekly report is mandatory for us to do so to ascertain whether we really work or not. we as a bounty hunter must follow the rules that have been set so that our results can not disappoint.

I think making weekly report is good rule because the participates do there work honestly. 

This is determined by the bounty manager. It's more convenient to have no reports but there are many good campaigns where reports are required. It would be much more convenient if all campaigns ended the week by sunday. there are  many campaigns where its like Thursday - Friday, etc.

Thank you for you awesome opinion, you are right it is good when bounty managers give us not enough stakes, so that we can send them the report link and ask them send rewards for us. Good idea.

Wow, you help me easy to understand why we have to make weekly report. The purpose of the bounty task is adverting, the advertisement's result with high traffic will help the project go successfully. Many thanks.

In my opinion i think if not make weekly report, they have to a special tool to help them check how the bounty participants work and put stakes for who deserve it. Thank you very much.

For the bounty partitions, i think almost members do not like weekly report. But such as the idea of some people here, they say that the weekly report help the bounty managers to access and manage their job easily an quickly. Thank you.

Could you please provide some bounty programs do not need to make weekly report? Thank you for your sharing.

I do not know specifically why some require reports of some not, but there may be those managers who do not require reports to use any bots to verify the execution. And those who take reports do everything manually (just an opinion). Worked with those and with those results in both cases good!

The manager of Hotachy always checks everything clearly and does not need to do any reports. It only requires a couple of retweets reposts a week. Counting leads weekly in the table (counts as bids). I have been working with him for a long time (I recommend)

I would rather agree to a bounty program that implements mandatory weekly reporting. because we can be more diligent again in the imagination of projects that we follow at this time. and the loss is only a matter of time.

For the bounty of managers of the advantages of reports is that they are easier to verify. Also, if you publish reports in a topic, topic will always hang in the top and it will be visible to everyone, this is a plus for the company.

On the platform, Bountyhive https://bountyhive.io/browse#  reports are not needed, but it is difficult to get there to participate in the new company.

The Bountyhive platform(https://bountyhive.io) does not require reports, but it's difficult to participate in a new company, try, maybe you'll be lucky)))

It all depends on the project manager. Maybe the manager at some point checks people on bots. Another option is that the manager has a special software for checking reports.

          There are different reporting modes. It differs from campaign to campaign. Some managers want a weekly report, others want a final one. Personally, it seems normal to me as long as you get a stake a week, sending weekly reports. This shows much more consistency and rigor, which makes the project a serious one. I recommend you choose projects that require weekly reporting. Ease the work of both the manager and yours.

that's what irritates me, we have to work harder to work in the campaign.
in the past, average campaigns did not have to report our work every week, unlike many reporting rules for now.

Weekly reports yes are good, as it decreases the managers' workload. But for the participants also increases. So it's always good to see a balance between the two.

For example, bounty campaign managed by Sylon, there are no participants need to report their work weekly cause Sylon has bot to collect all the link automatically but with the others you still have to report it on Bounty thread cause managers need to check it themselves.

The advantage of reporting weekly is that bounty thread will be pumped weekly as well but the disadvantage is it's a little bit hard to collect report of participants weekly and participants also can have mistake because of so many links need to be reported :))

There are some project no need report.

The weekly reporting rule is very good for me because all participants will be regular to make their weekly report. And bounty manager will be very helpful to calculate the stake in every week.

Weekly reports have helps managers to do there work. I think it is good rule.

Yes, I agree with you.

Automation does not escape the bugs, I example portal bountyhive there are some participants get token by registering without doing retweet or share like. this is crazy.
automation must still involve humans to perfect it.

I agree, there must be someone both to improve and to guide such automation. And yet there is no guarantee that there will be no flaws.

Its really depend on the bounty campaign you have joined. And depend on the manager of that ICO.

I think it is necessary, because the weekly report for a person who corrects it takes time and thoroughness, but it should be a short time-only campaign and not for months

I prefer not making weekly reports because it need a lot of effort. Some compaigns doesn't want it, because they have automation tools to detect your shares and retweets.

If you see one side just might be a lot of people say it's inconvenient. but it is precisely this will create benefits both. the manager will be increasingly easy to the do-checking job. for participants, this will data used as evidence of their work. If there is a mismatch then there will be the proof of the report have been made each week.

Actually human work is greatly helped by automation, but dev should evaluate system deficiencies. If there is a bug or dev error it should immediately respond quickly and fix it.
I heard bountyhive will be adding a spreadsheet on their platform.

It depends on what bounty you are participating with. Some needs reports to see to it that your truly following them and their obey rules. It depends on the manager your joining in.

If it already is a rule then just do it. this if it is very necessary because it could have the data if any of the glaring discrepancy between what we used to do with what is written or paid by the manager of the bounty. with the report will certainly mutually know each other's mistakes.

Yes, we know that, but we want to know the advantage of the "making weekly report or not", and why need to do that? Why they have that rule?

Thank you for your opinion. This time i have seen some campaigns there are many scammers try to get our data information and join the same campaign to get the rewards (they do not do anything). This is very difficult for bounty manager to know who are you and who are scammers. Do you have any ideas? 

In my opinion, when you join many campaigns of 1 team, your personal information will be spy by scammers. And scammers will use this to join the same campaign with you to earn rewards. Could you please share me your experience?

Depend on the campaign (twitter, facebook, reddit, signature, translate...), they require different ways to report. Because there are some tools allow they can check what the participants do on some platforms without report so the campaign base on that platform they don't require weekly report. But some campaigns there are no tool help to check, they must do manually so they require we must report to help them check easier.

Most of the bounty managers require weekly reports. It'd be easier for us if there weren't weekly report reuirements. However there some websites which don't require reports at all (bountyhive for example)

No problem with weekly reports. It helps me to keep it manageable. I use weekly reports in my own spreadsheet also for campaigns that don't require reports (like bountyhive)

Typically, the requirement of a weekly report refers to members of the generosity campaign on social networks. The earnings campaign manager can always look at the signature campaign member's profile and check both the quantity and, most importantly, the quality of the written messages. Therefore, additional reports from the participant of the campaign are not required. However, I have met recently and how much ICO campaigns, where such reports were required and from the participants of the signature campaign. I did not join this campaign in principle, even despite its prospects.

Some managers simply have software that collects links. But there are disadvantages in this. If you have too many retweets and reposts, then this software will not collect all your links

I think "one post and edit" is better for bounty tracking. It's hard for bounty admin to track your reports in many pages, and they have to check every week instead of checking only one time at the end of bounty campaign.

Posting to a single post decreases the topic, helps you find your own psot, and makes it easy for the manager. I see it that way.

As for the bounty report, my view is that as a bounty hunter, making sure the work is more standardized will only cause minor problems. For the project team, he won't waste his token.

most and almost all bounty managers apply such rules, I think this is very good for all. and they do not want any more hunters for sure.
and I

am very supportive of this rule.

Depends on the Managers if he has a automatic bounty platform then the reports is not needed. I know bountyhive and bountyportal are doing automatic checking in your Twitter and Signature campaign. Which is advantage to the bounty participants as they can save time in reporting.

In some reasons, it depends on the bounty manager, on the part of bountyhive, they dont require you to report your task because they automated it into their platform, and we cannot see it, which is good on the part of the participants, but it depends on the bounty manager, but i prefer for weekly reporting, because we can have the evidence that we do the job, unlike the automated ones, wherein we dont have the control of how many stakes we have, so better choose a bounty campaign, where there is a weekly reporting.

Godbless

It upon be contingent on what bounty campaign action you coupled. signature campaigns dont need to arc your vincula or recounting as it be seen on your profile.

when the manager will be helpful to calculate the stake in every week why almost of bounty project ussually late to be reward stake at his project.i think with report manager just only look how active the participate of bounty and how the participate read the rules of project

It depends on the rules that have been made by its Bounty Manager, Bounty Managers like Sylon and Hotachy do not require a weekly report because they have the tools to track the activity of the participants

I don't like weekly report

most social media bounty requires a weekly report because bounty managers do not want participant do all their work in one day,
the report format can be different, some managers want new reports every week, this make benefit for  manager because topic of bounty thread becomes active, in other word they want participant to bump their campaign
some manager forbid participants create a new report, they have to edit their first report every week
as for me, i am prefer if the manager provide a report form that I have to fill out every week
the advantage, i think weekly report would make easier for manager to manage their bounty
the disadvantage, weekly report would make to many page in one thread

I agree with you, the reason is the weekly report will be a spam post inside the reward thread so it is very difficult for me to look for the notice in thread bounty. my advice should be if the project requires a better weekly report not in a bounty thread but on google form as it will make it all the more simple.

It all depends on the manager of the company. He decides how it will be more convenient for him to check your reports. So for you there is no difference how to send reports

It is convenient for me to work in a company of generosity, where there are weekly reports. You can always check whether the manager is counted or not, and prove that you have completed this work.

I'm already used to weekly reports, it's quite convenient if you make a mistake, for example, missed tweets or the number of characters,you will lose the reward for only 1 week

Every idea has its own pros and cons, if we talk about "weekly report" there is no doubt it will help to any remove any miscalculations by the manager but I don't think there is much need for weekly reports in most of the cases like in signature campaign as the manger can easily count the number of posts also in case of social media campaigns like twitter there are twitter bots which can help to count the number of tweets. I think making weekly reports creates an extra work load and should be reduced to minimum extent.

I think its useful to do a bounty with weekly reports. Because its a small pirce to pay compared to how much they will get from the bounty. Also, brainless posters will not be rewarded, only the ones understanding what they are doing, which is a great thing.

This is the nice topic, i love this.

This depends on the bounty manager. But i think making weekly report is better because it is a proof of your work.

What do you think about some bounty program with website control?

I think it better to make the report each week, it is proof of work so it will make us follow the bounty rules everyday. But remember to submit the report in time, don't forget it or your work in whole week won't not be count - that's also the problem of the weekly report.

I think no report is better

Can you show me some big campaigns?

I think it depend on each campaign, each team and what tool they have.
As my remeber, Merculet, Egretia project (of Krypital Team) had some campaign without weekly report like twitter campaign, reddit campaign (very sorry, it has ended)... Beside of that, signature campaign of other projects also not require to report....

Projects without reports make the user very tired with the search of the posts, and so on so I am against the weekly report
