Bounty reports

[ahmadakbari]

There are many accounts in the forum that only make bounty reports. They have been created only for this purpose and nothing else is posted by them. If you check a bounty thread, you see there lots of bounty reports especially by newbies. In my idea Bounty managers should be forced to use a google form or something else for posting reports.
I am sure there are better methods for receiving reports.
What is your idea?
Do you have any idea about an alternative method for posting reports? A new method might be suggested and moderators might make a rule regarding bounty reports.

You can get answer in those previous threads.

Read these:
New restriction on airdrops / proof of authentication posts. Is it real?
Reporting Proof Of Authentication posts

Most of them used to bump bounty threads. Bounty thread will be hurried in seconds by other bounty threads because bounty hunters spam their PoAs fastly & continuously.

Only very good managers don't ask participants do this.
Users should not post PoA posts if bounties managers don't ask for. In case managers don't require, users who make such annoying posts might be banned.

Anyone posting info from their bounty application (usernames, addresses, etc.) or anything alongside the lines of "joined X", "looking forward to getting X", "thanks for the opportunity", "filled out form", "signed up for X", "applied", "following / liked / retweeted X" when such data is not required by the bounty / airdrop / giveaway / whatever (e.g. the bounty takes entries on a different website) or the requirement is against the forum's rules (e.g. when a giveaway requires users to post entries for low effort tasks) risk having their account banned. These are extremely low quality posts that generate massive amounts of spam, drowning out any legitimate discussion these threads may posses.

I'm not a fan of the proof of authentication posts, and believe there's other ways to automatically do this. Especially, with systems like Discord, and Telegram where they can setup automatic bots to determine whether a proof of authentication is formatted correctly, and acceptable. These could go in a dedicated channel which wouldn't be spammed to the public.

Although, I'm not a fan of allowing this sort of content on the forum it is allowed, unless they're offering an incentive to post them.

There is a page to check patrol, without bounty reports.

It's a good idea but i doubt anything will be done about it. Good thing is that bounties have their own dedicated board so it would just be best to keep away from such spam infested boards if one totally has no interest in altcoin bounties.

Also, I think ICOs as sort of dying out so the  bounty report spammers will eventually give up at some point as they will be getting nothing out of the worthless tokens. It's just a matter of time.
