Let's all unite bounty hunters. Unite against spam and scam/cheats.

[Have_good_times]

Almost 95% of bounty programs end up in scamming us. Why ?

1. It is a decentralized forum. Potential-scams are not being moderated.
2. Almost all bounty programs are not rewarding for our hard work or paying with worthless coins/token.

How to safeguard ourselves ?

If we, the community enforce some set of rules to be followed by all the bounty programs then we may have a healthy environment.

Proposed protocols to be followed by bounty programs.

Rule 01. There should be definite time frame for campaigns. If ICO gets extended, bounty also should be extended as round-2 and ect.

Rule 02. All bounty programs should pay some BTC/ETH payments along with tokens/coin. (10% to 50% payment in eth/BTC remaining will be in tokens/coin).

Rule 03. Escrow the BTC/ETH required.
Rule 04. Payments should be weekly or monthly.
Rule 05. There should not be unlimited slots. Must have specific number of slots for each campaign.
Rule 06. Requirement of KYC should be announced in the beginning of bounty.
Rule 07.
Rule 08.
Rule 09.
Rule 10.

(This is not a final list. Suggest your opinion to add more rules and I am ready to make changes to above if more people asks/agree for a change)


What we need to do right now :
Complete your current campaigns and before joining a new campaign, link the manager to this topic and get their opinion in open discussion. Then, you decide to join or not.

If you start ignoring the campaigns which are not hearing to the opinion of this community, we will have a healthy environment.

Ask your friends to have a glance on this topic. Help them to fight against the scams.

Request to managers :
1. Please ask devs/owners to comply with this community opinion.
2. Do not accept the projects which are not ready to listen to this community.
3. Choose people based on merits to fight against spam.

Future plans :
1. Let's show our strength by voting or by having a list of forum members who prefer to work for the program which is following above rules.
2. Providing badges to bounty topics to show "compatible with community norms"

Final word :
You may think, why I should listen to a Jr.member and I am ready to risk my efforts. But, if you start ignoring the campaigns which are not ready to comply with us then you will have same environment similar to what we have in BTC service section. Don't you prefer to have such good environment ?

If we ignore the non-compatible bounties then we will have less campaigns which will lead to less spam for obvious reasons. Think about healthy bitcointalk and opt for change. Thank you.
