Many bad posts are being appeared in bounty board

[mightwalker]

Guys , we have to do something .

I see a some posts like giveaway tokens for anyone who do some easy tasks and write their info in google doc form .

This is actually scam . Because they invited them to their airdrop telegram or directly joined in a invited airdrop link .

It's make people who scam get more refferal and they no pay for people who do the tasks as promise .

It would be great if you add a reference link that'll serve as an example.
If you have a list of these scams that you're talking about, DT members might help you out to make people avoid them by putting Red Paint to topic starters.

Also, does this topics have a rule for participants to post like this "Joined telegram. Thanks!"? If it does refer to this one and report - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2284371.0

AFAIK bounties aren't moderated by the forum so it's the users responsibility to avoid such abuses. Those written above are mild solutions.

yes it should be the person who made the post on the bounty board should provide information about that project to the moderator, after the moderator approves the  he can make a post on board Boutny.

I think you should provide proof of this. Don't talk in general terms, write the names of the scams and give evidence that it is a scam.

If it's a scam then post it in the scam accusations and as long as it's on topic and constructive with evidence to back yourself you can post in the announcement/bounty thread. If it's infringing any of the forums rules then report it. Although, it sounds like you are excusing a project of scamming which really needs to be presented with evidence and posting in scam accusations.

What you are referring as scam would more or less qualify most of the bounty campaigns and airdrops as scams! For a project to be called as scam i follow some basic steps:-
1) Check if the team has pictures and videos of them talking about the project. No pictures and videos of the team means a higher probability of running away with the money with no way to point at a face. Always crosscheck the pictures placed on the website with a reverse image check to ensure that the pictures are not taken from shutterstock or any other website hosting tons of photographs.
2) Check their whitepaper and try to find similar projects or run a search of the whitepaper to find if there is a similarity with the other project and then you can call them out on their thread or start your own with some facts.

 Regarding giveaways, that is still allowed. Most of the people refer people other projects with the hope of getting "a little extra for themselves" by doing it.

Some projects put in a lot of effort so you need to do your bit of research and then accuse any project of scamming or not following rules because it might damage someone's reputation if accusations are made without any facts! No one is going to do the research for you if you simply put up a project name and call it as scam!

It's too strange , i see many people think that scam is " take money and go away " .

Furthurmore , they can steal your information to use for their benefit . Airdrop for no airdrop to get more refferal register under their link or spread virus for controlling your computer .

Let's think deeply . What's about a project that required kyc . And after few days ,they're gone ? supplying detailed information of yourself for unknown person is very dangerous .

If someone kept kyc as requirement and took your personal details and any identity information such as passport/driver's license/national identity card, then it hints that these people are mostly looking at entering a single bounty campaign with multiple bitcointalk profiles and they will supply those kyc details when they are claiming bounty or airdrop from those campaigns. It is a scam indeed!
I can't think of a way as to how we can get rid of this issue since any one can ask for KYC disguised as a token and it will altogether come as a personal responsibility only. I do hope that bounty campaigns do not put spreadsheets of the participants list along with their details on the forum since that will make for a little less chance of people getting scammed.

Users have to be responsible for their own decisions and their activities. Merit system partially launched to control spammers who usually spread FUDs, spamming forum with shitty posts, and make this place like a open-landfill of garbage threads.
Those ones will probably stucked in their low ranks forever, no chance to rank up with merit and new rank system.
