Is it legal to give a negative trust to a 'BM' who ended a scam project?

To admins, high rank members and members,


We should have the right to give negative trust to a bounty managers or rate their records. This must be the answer to prevent wasting our time and efforts. In that case this will push them to examine their project carefully before they're going to post their thread here. Or else they will put their name on shame. As what I had experienced as a newbie member here, I had wasted so much time and efforts creating and sharing those project just to promote them but it ended up on nothing. I like what I'm doing but it is very stressful when you ended up on nothing! Maybe some of the Bounty manager here really know from the beginning that their project was really a scam but because of the shares they will have they intended to make a newbie account or use their secondary account just to make money through scamming. For me it is acceptable if the project ended on not reaching their soft cap rather than ended up on a scam project that's hurt a lot!

NO TO SCAM PROJECT!!
PREVENT A SCAM PROJECT!!!
NEWBIE MUST NOT PUT THEIR EFFORT IN VAIN!!!!

If the Bounty Manager knew that the project is scam and still promoted it than they deserve a negative trust.
But if they didn't knew about that, they are no different from bounty participants as they get paid to advertise.
If bounty manager are to be given negative trust for working on a scam project, bounty participants too deserve one as they too promote for payment.

How come that the bounty participant deserve to have a negative trust by participating a scam project? In the first place, participant give their trust on the bounty managers, second, bounty managers must examine their project carefully by conducting a verification on the team members of that project before accepting it and lastly, bounty participant didn't get paid by promoting a scam project.

Same accusations you have given to a bounty manager, tje bounty participants must as well be given negative trust because they've participated in a scam project, they've promoted it and because of that many investors invested a lot. So theres no difference at all between a bounty manager and the bounty hunters, well if thats the case you want to give to a bounty manager then bounty participants too may as well be given a negative trust.

This was just my fair opinion.

It is a bounty managers job to ensure that the project that he/she agreed on handling is a legit project and that it will not turn out to be a scam. A person shold not be eligible to handle campaigns if he/she does not know how to differenciate a good project and what is not.

I do agree tho it may be best to also tag the participants if a project turned out to be a scam. Maybe that will lessen the account which are solely farmed to get into a bounty without even knowing what project they are advertising.

 I have been scammed before by some bounties and it wasn't always the campaign managers fault.

Those statements are true, but I would add that people are free to leave feedback as they see fit in either case.  Often you will have no idea whether a manager knew about the project being a scam or not.  Look at the case of atriz, who got negative trust only after he admitted to knowing the project whose campaign he was managing was a scam.

I agree, there is too much BS going on with scam projects and the bounties that advertise for them.  I would recommend painting scammers' trust pages liberally with the red paint when you find out about the scam.  They deserve it, for one, and it can also warn others not to deal with them.

I think the tag should only be limited to the managers and not to the participants because the participants are mostly are innocent to this. Its should be the bounty manager's responsibility who take the lead and guidance to the workers in which they should review it carefully the ICO before accepting it because their reputation is at stakes. I just hope we could provide a list of bounty managers reputation so that the workers specially the new comers could be aware.

[escalante28]

To the high members there, who agreed to give also a negative trust to a bounty participant who ended up a scam project. Let me ask you this, me as a jr. rank here, do you think I deserve to waste my time and effort  promoting those scam project? What will be my benefits for promoting those scam meme? Can i make money from it? I joined the bounty program to make money not to degrade my name here or to put shame on my record.

My suggestion here is to prevent a wannabe bounty managers so that no one will waste their effort. We don't deserve to be fool by someone.

I agree. The real deal here is how do we differentiate those; who's the all-knowing Bounty Manager or who's not. Although, the OP is somehow right that Bounty Manager do some examination and interrogation, at least, to make sure that a project is not a scam.

[PX-Z]

It depends on the situation mate, some campaign managers really don't know that the project that they managed is a scam. But if the campaign manager knows that the project is a scam since then and it's proven, they really deserves to be given a negative trust from DT members.

[linkHA]

What you said is true, but I'm curious about how to tell if the reward manager already knows that this project is a scam?
Most of the time we may not know if it knows.

[ethmylovee]

I agree. I met a lot of fraudulent projects. I need tools to evaluate the bounty manager

It is their duty to examine and verify if the team members of that project is really exist. Bounty participant don't have the right to conduct a KYC procedure.

[totoy4741]

I don't think so that bounty managers know that project is scam from the very start. They might have checked the background of Development if it is credible or not but still it all depends on how the ICO would turn out. Bounty Managers are hired workers as well who want to have a decent earnings from their decent work, or maybe should give those managers who are not doing their job done properly. But putting the blame on them on why the project turn into scam is not a good thing. AND I guess they would not put their reputation and names at risk.

Seems logical. Red trusting a bounty manager without any proof that he pushed through the campaign knowing that it's a scam is illogical (once). But if the campaigns he always promote turns out to be a scam, i think it's logical.

Besides, joining a campaign is decided by the bounty hunter himself. If it turns out to be a scam, too bad, he didn't researched about the project thoroughly.

[Mancung]

I think its unfair to gave a negative trust to a BM when he is just managing that campaign in this forum and hoping a reward from the project just like us, not a team from the project or DEV. However if the manager already knows its a scam but still promotes then he deserved a red trust or if he is a part of the scam project, well he has no other purpose but to scam

[Intellectual Romanticist]

Bounty managers and bounty hunters are on the same page. Bounty managers are nothing but the head of a bounty program while the hunters are the body of the program.

They are both promoting the project.
They are both getting paid in tokens or maybe fiat.
Only difference is managers are getting paid more, because they are doing more.

Please take note that I am also a bounty manager. But I am not saying this because I am one.
Even if I am not a bounty manager, my opinion would be the same.

Bounty managers promote to bounty hunters.
Bounty hunters promote to investors.
If bounty managers are to be blamed for something out of their control, then put yourself in prison for a murder that happened halfway across the globe.
If managers are required to check and verify the project, so are the hunters.

Yes, It is Bounty Managers duty to distinguish the project if it is a SCAM or not. But i dont agree on giving all users right to apply a negative trust because it can be used in bad way. I think what you can do to prevent on Joining in SCAM projects, is doing a research on that project, know the Team. Reading their WP will also give you a lot of info you need. Be meticoulous.

This is a great idea to lessen or prevent those Scam project in which the BM is conniving specially these days to where Scams are rampantly spreading like Cancer on  the Society!
Some BM and Team did simple scamming by changing the rules to make it complicated for the Bounty campaign workers nor being very strict without taking a consideration even for single digit typographic error! So let me add those below mentioned..

NO TO SCAM BOUNTY MANAGERS AND TEAM!!

EFFORT AND HARD WORKS ARE MUCH VALUABLE THAN PENNY

I agree with you, we should have some kind of privileges to give, to some bounty managers that are guilty of conspiring with some scam devs team only if they are proven guilty of doing such loathsome deeds. If they are guilty of such wrongdoing negative trusts are not enough as a punishment they should be kicked out and banned on this forum forever. On the other hand, we couldn't also deny the fact that, lots of bounty managers are also innocent of such awful deeds and just doing their job in good faith. I think they should practice due diligence also to at least lessen the possibility of getting scammy projects and not just for the sake of making money the quickest possible time.
