Cheating or Not?

[forexandcryptoauditor]

There will be always a sentence after all rules mentioned. It has the power to add or remove any rule." Project/team has the right to modify these rules at any time". Logically, if any new rules imposed after the campaign ends, it is ok but ethically it is not good for the reputation of the project. It may decrease the confidence of the community in that project.

This is not cheating, if you read project rules very well, there is always a statement like team has the power to change any of the rules stated in the bounty thread during or after the bounty campaign. So, is normal if you witness this happen anyother time.

What! You don't think this is cheating . Suppose the Youengine team decided to decrease the bounty rewards after 28 weeks complete because the team has the right to change the rules. I will suggest something to you. Don't justify anything that you didn't face before. Check the Bitwings, EZ365 exchange, PayAccept and Clipx campaign. Both campaigns change the rules. Only the EZ365 exchange is good. I face this problem and I know how it feels.

It's sad the fact is like that, a lot of project teams change their rules when the campaign ends. Therefore, usually the bounty managers
include in the general rules that the project developer has the right to change the rules at any time, depending on the situation and
conditions. Sure, it looks cheating for me, but we can't do anything about it. If you do not agree with these rules, we are given the freedom
not to participate in these campaigns. So if you want to avoid KYC procedures, look for projects that have notified you from the start without
any KYC procedures. But there aren't many bounty campaigns like that.

By the way, everyone has their own perceptions. It is true that bounty managers and project owners have the right to change the rules, it is usually written on the front page. Well, if you already know about this, as a bounty hunter we must be prepared for all of these changes. Is not it? I call it a risk.

I have also felt that, there was a change in the rules regarding KYC, it was disappointing, but what else can I do?
but that doesn't mean we can't do anything, we can raise protests and objections together, moreover, this forum also has pretty good power. Make a report thread and the like, if it is proven to be fraudulent there will be consequences for the manager's bounty. That is why I am sure that a professional bounty manager will definitely strive for consistent rules and provide benefits to all parties fairly.

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 can be found on our forum. There can be two situations. If the rules contain a postscript that they can change at any time, then formally this is not a deception of the participants and the campaign owners did everything within the law. However, passing the KYC is a very fundamental question for some people and they refuse to pass it. It turns out that in this way the owners on this basis have the right not to pay some participants. I consider this a disgusting and unworthy act.

Still there are bounties like that or most of them, they have disclaimer or postcript as you said it. So it is their prerogative what changes are they going to make in the middle or after the campaign. Here in the forum, what the users can do is just give negative trust to the project if they will not give the share of their participants. And it is up to the participant if he will submit the required docs or not. Just be careful in selecting campaign.

The moment that rule about "team reserve the right to make changes anytime" is included in the bounty campaign rules already tells you as a hunter that the team will most likely change the rules somewhere during the campaign process, maybe a reason for them to make a decision and make changes, or compel to introduce kyc that was not included in the beginning of the campaign, this are definitely the unexpected scenario a hunter will encounter while during a campaign, there is nothing much we can do about it.

The exchange is not related to bounties, the reason you mentioned is illogical because participants bounty can still receive tokens using a wallet, if the exchange requires KYC for trading activities then they can do KYC or wait for trading on DEX exchange.

Such project giving tokens after bounty ends and no passing kyc except for those projects are not willing to do kyc. But if you send it to exchanger that available that is available for kyc and not for the project.

It's outright cheating there's no other word for that, yes they can change the rules but they already know that some bounty hunters do not want to undergo KYC, so the team will have a free promotion from these bounty hunters, and some projects have a hidden agenda they set up a bounty campaign just to obtain the bounty hunters credentials so they can sell it online.

WELL, either on altcoinstalk, bitcointalk, or cryptotalk; there is no consequences for such projects. At most the project gets red trusted and account deleted, and new  accounts can be created. This is why you as promoter cannot lose guard; instead you focus on promoting projects that are of utmost value, and low risk of betraying trust; you find out this by doing your research before joining bounties.
