Bounty Managers and Shit projects

[Towerbreeze]

It's nothing to worry about even if a BM said he doesn't trust the project he is managing, to me it's not bounty managers responsibility to keep his hunters safe, it's a free world, whether the project will succeed or not that's not something that BM can know, it's all try and see

Bounty managers don't need to think about that. but when he promotes too many project scams, he loses their community. it will be bad for her next projects. at least the manager can protect the rights of bounty participants by becoming an escrow from the project for bounty hunters. it looks more promising.

they should be selective because it the project turn out as a scam it will waste many people time and doing promotion for nothing. I think a good manager is the one that always investigate the project that they going to manage, i think that should be the common sense among managers.

In my own experience, what infuriates me more is the apathetic manager wherein you have some questions that you want to clear up and you only get no response from the bounty manager. Sometimes they direct you to the organizer or the head honcho of the project marketing and still don't get answers or vague information. And that is after you have spent weeks doing the bounty. It is really aggravating that there are people who don't take care of their bounty participants.

[chikading2016]

Sometimes the bounty manager is being blame by managing a shit project, but if we are going to think about the manager and its part maybe he/she also didnt know the outcome of the poject that he/she handle, because there are project that is really amazing from the start but in a long run it will become failed. So i think we need to considered that we need not to blame bounty managers because they also didn't know what will be the outcome of the poject.

that's why you have to do an analysis of each project that you will promote, make sense or indeed fulfill the objectives for the project being developed.
if not you can choose another project to promote even if the project offers a large prize.

If you are talking about the forum moderating bounties than it would never be possible. We just need to thank them for making some rules to assist bounties and reduce spam. The bounties are here just because it's one of the largest gathering of crypto enthusiast and it's a free forum. It's actually a forum to talk about bitcoin, not to promote ICOs.
The bounty managers can help reduce the scams by making some precautionary measures as simple as an escrow. But it's always upto the individual participants research and a bit luck to find a good project.

To wrap it up, a bounty manager once told me when I called his attention to some unrealistic plans of the project he was managing, he said he is not concerned about the success of the project, once he gets his weekly payment from the team. I want to know if there are some levels of punishment for bounty managers that manage unworthy projects apart from negative trust?

If there really is a scam project, the Bounty Manager can get negative trust until it is banned. that is also if the moderator knows. so hope you report to the moderator what you experienced. but not infrequently bounty is also managed by Newbie. so here it's not just a matter of rank or track record, but you also have to learn whether the project has potential scams ....?

[Raflesia]

Yahoo and Hhampuz also handled bounties but not that many if I still remembered correctly,
they are more on btc payment campaigns.
In regards to bounty managers, as they are not really in control with the fate of the project
it's the hunters obligation to do more research.
Participate only if you do believe that there's potentials that the team can develop, it's a basis
of support from the communities.

Well, they have little to be part of the bounty and are now more focused on weekly btc pay campaigns and they already know that the bounty program is not what it used to be, most of which are now failures so they no longer choose to manage bounties except for good projects after they filter.

And now join bounty with a well-known manager who has handled many bounties, so that would be better in my opinion.

[ven7net]

It's no more news that many of us would have had some horrible experiences participating in some resources wasting projects. However, my opinion is that, do bounty managers just accept hook line and sinker to manage bounty campaigns for any project without taking some time to look at the prospects of such project?  

I think there should be some experienced members of this forum apart from moderators (because moderators' works might be too enormous) that should be in charge of reviewing projects before bounty managers are allowed to create bounty and/or announcement threads for such projects.  If this can be done effectively, I think the advent of these unworthy projects can be mitigated.

You raised a really interesting topic. Indeed, in recent years, many bounty managers turned out to be scammers and the Bitcointalk form helped them capture them. I think this is a very good job and I thank them. The penalty in this case is a negative mark and possibly even an account lockout. No matter how there, but this measure of punishment at the moment is the best. Perhaps all these processes can be made even better, but personally I will not take such methods for now. In any case, the fight against fraudsters continues and this is very good.

Yes, of course, It's like you spend your time to invest in a project despite your money. So our time is limited, that why currently we need a deep analysis before participating in a bounty campaign. There are still quality projects out of here, but they'll not allocate a large fund for hunters, it's my experience after a year in doing bounties.

That's what happened today. several large projects already have a market. they will not give a large allocation to bounty hunters. but usually, they do several campaigns in stages. they have a way to maximize the bounty hunter. even with a small allocation, they still have a lot of participants.

Large projects will not allocate for bounties with large funds because for them it is enough with their own marketing team so the bounty program is only a little marketing that they had planned at the beginning, but if the project with failure then it will allocate high so that many are interested in me it's not enough to be followed in bounty promotions.

That must be done research for each participant if you do not want to be an unpaid hunter because by doing research I am sure that I will definitely find a better project and see the background of the team and their own products, if you have mastered it then you will know how the project better.

[Sanugarid]

The truth is bounty manager are no longer looking for prospects before accepting bounty job, seems all they now want is their money, once they realize the job can fetch them something reasonable they collect the job and enslave bounty hunter, is so so sadden.

With less and lesser projects that are coming to them, there will be more likely to not look over the quality of the project. It really bothers me how disrespectful it is for bounty participants that the campaign manager is not wary of the project in general. I'm not degrading the work of bounty manager, but let's not deny that there are some whose only intention is to make money and not really to contribute in the community.
At the end it is the right of the bounty manager to accept or refuse the project, if it turns out to be  scam then he's part of it.

[mezzaluna]

Being a Bounty manager is a time consuming job which is hard and can result to problems at anytime. That is why most Bounty managers can work in groups IF they are managing a large bounty.

Bounty managers don't just accept any bounties, of course they take time to review it. They will have their own payout from those bounties and I guess that is how some of their payments work. Managers do not know the outcome of those bounties because they are only there to arrange those payouts properly and make sure that nobody is cheating in their works.

Shit projects are unpredictable and that depends on how will the platform work through out time.

[lumeire]

Exactly, bounty managers who have been promoting unrealistic or fake projects have to penalize. Because of that, so many scam projects have come into the market. Lots of people get the victim of such shitty projects. That's why Bounty managers have to take this thing seriously and need to show some responsibility for avoiding shitty projects.

Bounty managers are also humans like us and we do a lot of mistakes in life. The thing is that these days scammers are also doing a lot of work before making their project public and when their work is final they introduce the projects to public. Mostly people easily spot the scam project from fake ones and a few times when they aren't able to do so the bounty managers filter these out. But a few scam projects also get past the bounty managers filters too.
Also that if you think that the project is legit then only you invest in it or participate in the bounty, no one actually forces the participant to join aslo if the project turns out to be a scam then the bounty managers also don't get paid or take a loss.

There are actually many types of bounty managers in this market. There will be quite a lot of bad teams and also very reputable and hard working bounty managers. In a decentralized market and the job is not guaranteed like this, we have to accept that risk. We all work on trust and if we make a mistake in trusting them it's our fault, we didn't check the project but we were too dependent on the team manager. So in order to get money when marketing here, we should have the knowledge to check the project and never rely on the bounty manager.

[mdzahed134]

Bounty Managers just do their work to get money, and almost of them will be paid by cash, not project's token like hunters. So some of them will not check the project carefully, and because of that we have tons of shit bounties like last time.

This sound is not good for the reputed bounty managers. They shouldn’t conduct fishy projects if paid good money from teams, because their reputation can be affected for the scam or shit projects, so always money isn’t big deal. Most of the popular BM accepted only BTC,ETH or sometimes other top ranking coins.            

[Janus101]

The truth is that everyone is in for the money, once they get paid they might not really care about anything else, but I think there are some managers that are selective, but then you as a bounty hunter really have to do your own research as to do a bounty project or not, so it's up to you to make a good selection.

For real, everyone do it for the money, bounty managers too so people should stop putting too much trust in bounty managers. Yes, he/she might have a good reputation so far but we will never know one day, they would pull an exit base on their high reputation. Make a good choice on what bounty project you want to join, try to find any dirt on that project till it's safe.
