Changing the rules in the End of the Bounty Campaign is a form of Abuse

[Xxmodded]

Lately more and more bounties are not following its own rules. By changing it after the campaign was finish and its unacceptable a form of abuse, decietful, dishonest, in the beggining the stupid terms and condition which is all favor to the team. It should be stop! the bounties must be return to its previous state like 2016-2017 those abusive Bounty Managers whos practice unfair method must gain negative trust. join for the fight

sometimes the bounty will disappear and be replaced with the new method.
yes, I think that will happen, proven at this time. there are lots of ico who don't succeed and don't even get the sofcap.
so it's useless to say that. because in my opinion you better try to find other fortune.

From my own experiences, it can not be prevented. As long as the rules that was changes is for the sake of the project and for the bounty hunters, too. The manager has the right to change the rules in a positive way. But we can't deny the fact that some of the bounty hunters are abusing their position and abusing the bounty participants as well. It is responsibility of a manager not to abused the whole project including the efforts and time of bounty hunters.

Changing rules in the middle or end of the campaign are not good but normally bounty manager mentioned it terms so nothing can be done. However, our best bet is always to join a bounty campaign after some good research about the project and bounty manager.

Some bounty campaigns announced that they have the rights to change any rules before proceeding the start of the campaign, but usually, the changes only apply to the number of stakes, posts, and members. Changing the rules should only be limited in time, if they're serious on their bounty pool, they should decide it earlier.

Sadly to say we need to adjust and just go with the flow because we are this era where the bounty manager of 2016-17 is no longer bounty manager, if you want to earn just do work and follow their rules.

Almost every bounty i suffered from this change of rules. I read the rules carefully, did everything right but in the end i got %10 of what i earned. But there is no place to apply about this abuse so i let it go.

Maybe the bounty manager already inform to you all like "The reward of the bounty will be 1% of raised money on ICO" And on the thread they say that they will give you rewards based on ICO Hardcap.
And when the bounty Ends, the project only reach their softcap and because that your rewards are slightly decreased. It all depend on what manager says earlier, that the rewards are based on raised money, not exact amount.
I think this is why many hunter are complains about their rewards got decreased by manager.

this is basic mistake for bounty hunter if they didn't read bounty rules carefully.we have to distinguish between allocation that based on total supply or total token sold.if in thread said it based on token sold so its normal token amount decrease alot if projects didnt reach hardcap.

Before you will join in any bounty, it will be better if you are going to read their terms first to avoid any problem in the end. If the bounty campaign didn't state in their terms that they have the right to change the rules in the campaign then changing the rules in the end is a form of abuse.

But if it was stated in their terms then we cannot say that it is an abuse as it was clearly stated in their terms that they can always alter their terms anytime they like. So it's better that we will be wise in joining any type of campaigns and always read their terms then make sure that you agree with it before joining.

In the Bounty there is usually a regulation that says that the Team & manager can change the rules at any time without further notice. Of course that is a rule from the beginning, so if there are rules that are changed, of course we must follow what they say. That is the importance of reading the Rules before participating in the bounty.

Some bounty managers are very good and they don't cheat,they always stay true to their words,bounty managers like bubbalex and arteezy are my favourite,once they say'No KYC'for a bounty project they will never change the rules after bounty is over.

It's hard to come back like the 2016-2017 years. I think because many projects are not really successful, they think of many reasons to change the bonus. This is not good, but we cannot do anything because there are too many bounty hunters

I dont consider changing rules at the end of a bounty campaign to be a form of abuse. it could only be considered a form of abuse if and only if the bounty manager refuses to include in the bounty rules that the rules are subject to change. Changing bounty rules at the end of the bounty campaign can be worrying but if its stated rules are subject to change and an you consider you can't bear with that project, you find yourself a different one.

Why is everyone complaining about it? It is clearly said that almost in every bounty programme, the team or a bounty manager have the right to change rules, so when you are entering this campaign, you automatically accept those rules.

[blue_nexus15]

As I can see, the bounty manager will have the responsibility and authority to change the rules throughout the campaign to create relevance and to create efficiency. They have the right to do it if the project team requests it. Although, it is not satisfactory and sometimes difficult to accept because your tokens received will change. But it is also their job and the agreement between the project team. Sometimes additional requirements will create more drastic changes.

One of their ridiculous rules that they implement is they are locking the coins of the bounty hunters even though the coin still has no market to trade, and even if they just distribute 2% of the coin, and unlikely to make an impact on the market, even if all bounty hunters dump all their shares.

[coloseum]

Changing rules of specific rounds is acceptable, but changing rules at the end in order to reject payments or reduce payment rates for participants is not acceptable. I think if a bounty/ campaign runs with 10 weeks in total, the manager/ company want to change rules since week 3, they should count all works of the first two weeks with original payment rates and rules. Only weeks since the third one will be applied with new rules, till the day rules changed again.

[jazmuzika217]

Yes you are right. Bounty hunters have a rights to receive a good and right exact amount of salary coming from campaign or to campaign manager. So I hope it is not right and just that when campaign is going on or it is near to end then the rules and regulation will change,  I think it is king of manipulation. We need to be fair in every transactions becauae bounty hunters is big help as a marketing tools of every project.

[GREENch]

Here no one owes nothing to anyone. Before participating in a project campaign bounty, you accept its rules. But it seems to me that the CU wants to return the rewards that bounty hunters received in 2016-2017 and not the conditions of the companies)))

Perhaps managers play a significant role in this fraud or abuse.  But I prefer to talk about it and not hide any information.  If we discuss the actions of managers and teams of bounty companies on bitcointalk, this will affect their credibility.  .

[Denton]

Changing the conditions at the end of the bounty company may indicate that such a project is a fraud. But this is not always the case. The project team often do not care about bounty hunters and therefore you should not be upset if the project turned out to be a scam. This is a frequent occurrence, and we do not need to worry about it, we cant do anything about it.
