Ans. As i was bounty manager of travelflex coin bounty and i did create new profile to handle its bounty and i have full access to this profile. As i am working on bounty from last 7-8 months and see there are some bounty manager who managed bounty program from their profile and did get negative trust from people without their fault.
As a bounty manager it is your responsibility to do the due diligence about the project you manage bounties for, the users participate in your campaigns, etc. So if there is a scam, issues regarding the bounty then it is your responsibility and you can't chicken out of that with an alt. Remember,
alts are permitted, that doesn't seem to be the issue. The issue is just connecting the alts so incase any abuse such as what has happened, both accounts are tagged.
To avoid these type of problems i create new profile , because i dont want to have negative trust on my profile because with negative trust i will not be able to participate in any bounty.
If you can prove that the bounty funds are not held by you or you request the devs to have the bounty funds escrowed and held by a trusted member then such a situation wouldn't arise. Yes, some people are stupid and will jump the gun to rate you negatively but I doubt a DT would do so
provided you back your case properly.
Now let me clear second thing which is Trust Farming : I didn't know about this thing before , so i tried it and give it from my one profile to second to just check how it works. Otherwise there is no need of trusts to me on my profile as i am not into selling of anything here. I Handle bounty campaigns and participate in bounties too. So there is no benefit of this trust to me, that was just to check feature.
To be blunt, your excuse is
bullshit. If you wanted to test the trust feature though in my opinion you should not be allowed to become a bounty manager because
why are you managing bounties if you don't know about the basic forum features such as trust. Even so:
- You could have tested the trust feature on someone like Satoshi on whom no would care if you left an unwarranted positive trust cause the man truly deserves it
- Let's say the above didn't come to mind then and you have to send trust to your own profile then why not set a neutral rating? It doesn't have to be positive after all
- Above all you have absolutely no reason to write what you wrote "Sent him BTC" when you clearly didn't. That is the definition of trust abuse
Now let me clear third thing which is merit and new thing. I am not clear about this that we can ask for others to give merit or not because i have not read merit rules till yet. So i don't know about this thing. My friend did let me know that merits are required to increase level of profile so i ask people to give it to me. I will go through their rules in free time.
Let's start by defining merit (sourcing Dictionary.com)
something that deserves or justifies a reward or commendation; a commendable quality, act, etc.
Begging does NOT justify getting merit. And as for your concluding line of that paragraph, " I will go through their rules in free time."
So essentially you have time to manage a bounty and do other stuff which works in your benefit however do not have the time to read the forum's rules. You deserve to be punished.
tl;drAnalogy time!
Drug Dealer (getting busted by cops): I didn't know peddling drugs was illegal, my friend told me drugs are easy money. I'll maybe look up the rules on Drug Dealing later when I have some free time
