Someone actually quoted the entire lengthy post just to post a incoherent one-liner. I feel like calling the cops on him

To the OP, I don't know but I think you deserve to get paid since you posted in several relevant subreddits.
Just to be clear, how many did you post in one subreddit? Maybe you posted too many in 1 day?

I post one in one subreddit per day. Also before the bounty I contacted the manager and asked him if there was a limit to how many I can post in a day. He said NO. Meaning I can post as many as possible

To spam is to do anything that is definitely against the rule of the bounty which the person is participating in. For instance a rule in the bounty campaign states "No one is permitted to say the word BOUNTY in the Official Telegram Group of the project except in their telegram" and some default, that person has spam, and the manager can take the disciplinary action required according to the rule.

Yes he said it right, you can spam by sending the same topic again and again with no reform and adequate timing , which might also result in banning you from a group , you must have done such before your stake was revoked. So try to post with spacing and timing next time to avoid such cause you have also confirmed it in your post that you post alot which result to spam.

Listen to yourself. You must be joking! You can request for the reports and I will show it to you. I made different posts in each subreddit and the manager knows this. That was why I was given the highest stakes at the onset. For some reason he decided to strip me of my hard earned rewards several weeks later without my knowledge. The bounty itself has its issues with wrong rewards allocation
Normally, spam has to do with sending unsolicited messages or writing unnecessary posts within a short time frame, in which this case, you clarified you did not do that, but you admitted to the fact that you posted within a short time frame. I cannot say if this is something that was necessary considering the fact that when you post too much within a short period, it is something that can be hard not to classify as spamming as well, when you could have made longer comments in a longer time frame of each other.

In this case, you more like broke it down into pieces so as to increase the count. It may be relevant, but rules are rules, and even though literally that may not be a spam, but most times in this space, it is regarded as spam or posting too rapidly, which is even frowned at even on the forum itself.

From what I have seen and experienced on different bounty campaigns, there could be a lot of definitions to spamming depending on what the bounty manager wants. However, some general cases of spamming I have seen includes:
1. Going against some rules and regulations of any section of the bounty campaign could amount to spamming;
=> in signature campaign, post like 'well done' 'good project' 'wonderful team' and so on that of low quality and doesn't contribute positively to the progress of the Bitcoin community are spams.
=> in Facebook campaign, if the bounty request you to write a custom post(s) about the project, writing words like those ones quoted above may be counted as spam.
=> in telegram campaign also, if you post unwanted/undesirable advertisements non related to the purpose of that telegram community, you're definitely spamming that group.

One of the ways of avoiding or reducing spamming in bounty campaigns is to read the general rules of the campaign very well and read every rule pertaining to each of the campaign section you're participating in.

logically true enough what the manager. the post too quickly would certainly indicate that you just want to just finish your work quickly without thinking about the topic or the obvious reasons why do you write such things. When looking for a safe haven than at least give pause between each post so that safe and learn from that experience.

The reason why I ask is because I did the cyberfm (reddit) bounty campaign and got awarded the highest stakes for that campaign initially as I put in a lot of effort creating unique posts and posting them in different relevant subreddits.

Then some days before distribution, I checked the campaign spreadsheet again and noticed my stakes/rewards had been reduced significantly and I was scored zero stakes for the final week in which I put in most effort.

I complained to the bounty manager and he replied that I spammed. I was shocked as all the posts were uniquely different from each other. I asked him to clarify how that can be defined as spam. He (or she) said it was because I was posting too fast one after the other without allowing a 3 to 4 minute interval.

I lost over $400 because of this and I just have to ask the great people of this forum what they understand by the word "spam". Does it really have anything to do with the timing of your unique posts? Or is this just a lame excuse to cheat me of my honest earnings?








If you posted more than 5 post per day you are doing a breaking rules. Because the minimum post per day is only 5 that is enough, But once you've post more than that. You are obviously a spammer, Sometimes read some rules before to join on the campaign to avoid the penalty of the campaigns. To ensure your stakes and keep still the same since first.

If you didn't copy and paste content, or make non-sense posts in threads just to bump yourself up for the purposes of the bounty then it may be the bounty managers squeezing you.  If that's the case, that sucks.  Not sure what recourse you obtain by posting this here though, unless the managers take notice.

In my opinion, I don't consider your post as a spam but the interval in posting should be atleast every 30 minutes in every post. That is the usual case where people could not be given stakes because of the interval time which is so short. Probably next time,you should consider posting twice in 1 hour. with this, i'm pretty sure you will be able to get stakes and your postings will no longer be considered a spam post.

From the screen shot you posted, I think the manager of the campaign made it pretty clear enough what he is referring to which is what is classified as spam. Trying to make posts within a few minutes range is considered spamming in my opinion and he was right.

Better not to push your luck too far if you are guilty and try making amendment next time. So the question now is that, are you guilty of what you are being prosecuted for or not? As that is what would determine if it was a fair play or not.

I think, It's a misunderstanding in classifying the spam. You think that your post has been compatible with the rule, but the bounty manager doesn't think like that. I know your feeling dude, but you can do nothing again. Hope this will be a great lesson for you, so you will read and understand the rules well before joining any bounty campaigns in the future.
