ANN threads & bounties threads are locked or removed any official statement?

[steamon]

Hey everyone,

I notice in the morning that my thread about TribeToken got closed and the bounty thread got thrown in the trash bin. I thought it was only me. But when I looked further I saw over 30 other ANNS happening the same. I did not see any official statement about this. Is there a sudden change in forum rules? Are bounty campaigns banned now? We would like to know more information and our bounty participants want to know more too. Since I am not alone I decided to open this thread so we can find a solution together to this sudden happening.


edit: After some research, I found out it has to do with the rule that a participant has to post 1 x per week in the ANN thread. I will reopen the bounty thread and remove that rule. Soon I hope the ANN thread can be unlocked again.

I think it's deleted because of the bounty campaigns..

Some bounty campaigns are creating a flood of useless crap on the forum.

It's true there are people spam posting and not adding anything to a discussion. I think this is a response to that. I can understand in some way. After more research, I understand the situation and adjusted our rules to that.
