Cheating or Not?

[Cheatbtt]

I'm not blaming anyone, but the point we can conclude is the decision of the project manager and the project team itself. as we know that every project is sometimes unexpected, I mean included in the project rules that can change at any time, and as prize hunters we can only follow the rules of the project.

Cheating or NOT Cheating?

Coming from altcoinstalk forum I've experience few projects going against their own rules like saying on promotion page that no KYC will be required and after promotion ends they tell promoters to go and open account on an exchange and pass KYC, what can this be called? Cheating? Any consequences for such projects on this forum? Thank you.

This cannot be considered as cheating since most of the bounties mentioned that they can change the rules at any time but this is really shady and no legit project will do that for any reason, if they wanted they will ask them upfront before starting your promotion.

Have you forgotten that you agreed to all rules and regulations guiding the bounty once you filled the form? So since you agreed, you are subject to whatever the team and the bounty manager decides, it's funny and disheartening atimes but that's how it goes. So in essence, it is not cheating, rather it is the parties involved invoking or revoking the rules they want and believe is good, and hence it is better to be ready always for whatever (rules) that comes out from every bounty as a participant.

We can call it cheat there do it for cheating purpose. Although most of projects hasn't real excuse why have to pass KYC, what was agreed that don't need. Most of the time to follow countries rules KYC rules is mandatory only few times for scammer. Without showing the main reason, of course this is cheater steps.

Something cheating and few maintain the team rules, even if there was fixed rules team can change anything at anytime then we can't nothing to do. But some Project make kyc announced after promoting finish so my thinking this cheating rules.

[Maackayon1]

There is no consequences to that because at the moment you join any bounty you have agreed to abide by their rules with any changes that comes. Although it might seems as not been honest but there is no choice.

[crptotrader007]

It clearly depends on how they portray their rules. If they do mention in the beginning that their rules can be altered through out the campaign/promotion period then it cannot be called as cheating but yeah if they don't mention that the rule can be altered and then alter the rules then I think it can be called as a scam.

This is a deliberate cheating. If promoters of such projects declared the need for KYC from the very beginning, they would attract several times fewer participants to bounty. Unfortunately, the rules for bounty indicate that promoters can change the rules at their own discretion, which means that they did not formally cheat, but in fact it is a cheat and dishonest attitude to bounty participants.

[gaston castano]

Depending on the regulations that the project made in the beginning, some apply Kyc and others do not.
they also create kyc rules, although they are not mandatory.
then you must read the rules first.you can only make a complaint at the end when there are problems with the kyc later.
I don't think there is such a punishment on this forum.

[SyndicateLabs]

It's a little unfair, but that's their rule. They can change anytime they want and if they feel not transparent about their campaign. They can ask everyone to KYC to receive bounty, you can personally accept and overcome it or abandon bounty. It all depends on your decision

The worst cheating I've ever experience in the time of my bounty participating period. The project that I promoted has become successful and I could have get a lot of money when they gave me my rewards but instead, they want to cheat to their participants and went unto the KYC method to get their reward. This results in the loss of most of the bounty participant's reward. Do you know the worst part is? the bounty manager didn't do anything about it.

[kaneki007]

Sometimes there are indeed a number of projects that announce information to do KYC at the end of the campaign, there are many actually and one of them is extending the duration of the bounty campaign. But I think if the project is legit or the results obtained are big enough, it doesn't matter. If it has become a policy to get our bounty as participants, only accept it and do it.

[Wildwest]

Problems like this we have often found in every bounty gifts and KYC problems usually that often apply, at first the team did not apply the KYC system but at the end of the project all changed we have to pass the KYC in order to get the gift of gifts, but we also can not blame them because the rules are already explained in advance and we must be ready to follow.

[culuuton]

A good project is one that doesn't change much in promises including a bounty campaign, which proves that they are serious and the project is often quite successful. I also like things that haven't changed when people agreed to the terms at the begining,  but I think we shouldn't call them a cheating team because KYC isn't a big hassle.

Yes, if we cannot accept their requests then we can ignore it. I personally don't like the bounty that changes the rules, it makes us feel uncomfortable and feel shady.

It can be a big hassle if the project we are taking is scam and doesn't pay after we provide our data. What if they sell our data?

[Ken_terrance]

Bounties have rules that can be changed at any time, to avoid this you need to find trusted bounty managers that don't like changing rules after bounty ends, for this all my credits go to bubbalex, he never disappoint me for once

Can't really call that cheating since its their game, their rule. This is pretty common in the promotion campaign since they want to attract as many people as possible to spread the news. After that, they add more rules to weed out the participants whatever they want. Project do this shit is lowest and usually fail after promotion campaign anyway so no value lost.

[soramon]

You should check clearly about the term and rules of that project. Usually they write "manager can change the rule" so if that rules exist its your bad day. It happens a lot of time so before you start join a project make sure you agree with all rules.

[Banadony]

the same thing is happening here. the entire bounty on the entire forum has not been faithful with their rules. they keep on making rules that they failed to keep. most bounties here announce new bounties with unimaginable rules and regulation which they change at the end of a successful program. apart from KYC, Some will reduce rewards while some will change dates of payment.
