no (will probably just give you negative trust for trying to scam even if you werent)

[r1s2g3]

I will post the correct answer and participants tomorrow.
Still we have place for one more participant.  If that position did not fill I will still start the challenge tomorrow with 4 participants.

[maxwellfreeman]

Suppose I'll be contributing a lot this week 

1. No
2. It's okay, but it's your fault if you get scammed. Maybe it looks shady because the bounty management is incompetent or new.
3. In general, no.
4. Yes
5. mprep

[Yaddady]

I'm not eligible for participation, but I've been a silent follower of these great forum as I always read posts when my friend who is a member is online. I have seen great posts go unnoticed and it sort of made me think there's more to receiving merits than great posts. So, well done for doing this.

[jallu74]

But now it turns out mathematically:
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. Yes
5. mprep

I thought about the 4th question for a long time and originally answered " No " because of this answer in the rules ""Q: Why haven't you banned <insert scammer username here> who is an obvious scammer?
A: Possible (or real, not for me to decide) scams are not moderated to prevent moderator abuse. If we start picking out which ones we call "scammers" and ban, we would make a lot of decisions based on biased opinions."
Maybe I misunderstood the question.
