I am getting lotts of pm these days with these bounty managers to join there bounty program.While I love bounty and join the one that I like but I beleieve this kind of spammy pm are not needed as anyone can check bounties section and join the one that he prefer.Is that in voilation of any bounty rule?

Feel free to report them with "Report to Admin" button on bottom-left corner and those spammers will be handled.
Quote 29. Sending unsolicited PMs, including but not limited to advertising and flood, is not allowed. Title: Re: Is this spamming or promotion? Post by: akamit on November 24, 2017, 11:08:43 PM In my eyes, spamming is considered when a user sends you pm multiple times with same issue.
If someone sends you one time pm to inform you something, then it is more likely a promotion. Lets say, you have a famous blog and in your blog you have contact us system. So if I contact you to make a article about our product/service in exchange of money/coin/token, will it be considered as spam? I have some facebook groups, and I do receive msgs from companies sometimes to make pin post. But I don't consider that as spam instead I consider as inquiry. But if you have zero tolerance then you can do two things, either put them in your ignore list or report them to admin. Title: Re: Is this spamming or promotion?

Maybe it is "spamming" or maybe it is "promoting" . With spamming as mentioned is the repeteion of the same message by the same user . But if the manager is sending some pm explaining the need and value of the bountie that might just be considered as "promotion" or "marketing" which is what pretty much evry body is doing in the forum . Its up to you to decide what that actually is . If you think it is spamming , there is always an option of reporting . But i really don't think that some managers would take such risks of getting reported and getting negative trust. |
