Not only bounty threads that are self-moderated are dangerous, but even more risky is when announcement thread is self-moderated with a number of fake positive reviews. This could easily lead into misinterpretation that this is a solid project, especially if you are a newcomer and do not understand it.

Yeah, it is definitely a delibrate attempt from the project team to hide the facts and silence the critics, I think this option should not be available in the forum because it should provide freedom of expression to everyone in a democratic way.

I would go one step ahead and say that self moderated thread especially of an ico or a bounty campaign should be considered as a red flag and such projects should be avoided both for investment and promotions, as simple as that.

It's no wonder and there have been many cases like this before. actually joined bounty managed by their own team has enough risk in between.
- lock thread bounty
- lock ann thread
- manipulate spreadsheets
- reduce bounty allocation
- not pay participants

Self-Moderated not only for that's a purpose, even a popular manager will use self-moderation.

The reason why they doing this because when the bounty is over the manager will doing a calculation stake so they will lock the thread until the calculation is over. The manager will unlock again when the calculation is done, sometimes bounty manager will give times for all participants to check the result or make a complaint about the calculation if nothing wrong at all he will lock again.

About scam bounty, you are responsible for your self when join the bounty for making due diligence from your self.

Sometimes the teams are scared of negative comments and fud that is why they use this option.
But i do not think it is suggested option, I mean let people complain or expose if there is something wrong and i think no serious project will have problem with that
Rather all good projects encourage the feedback and they should try to overcome the problems identified and be active and responsive this will boost community trust and will have a positive impact on the project.

Yes, I agree with you, and most scam projects make the thread to self moderated in order to prevent people from exposing them,this indicates that they will not pay bounty hunters in the end, Also, you notice in the first comments on the topic that all the comments are positive from Newbie's accounts. If it is an honest project, its team must answer all positive and negative questions and eliminate investor concerns and fears, They do not need to delete people's comments.

I do agree on this, self-moderated thread specially for bounties are like censorship. But if you did ask questions and was deleted, you can open a thread about it in Reputation board to call the attention of the bounty manager. But definitely, this is a red flag to me.

[kingzpro]

It is not a big deal unless the people behind the project have mal intentions or they want to cheat people because this self-moderated thread will help them to edit or remove each and every comment or response so they can delete some responses if the thread is regarding a bounty campaign and by doing so they may deprive the legit participants from their rightful rewards.

[tabas]

It depends who is the bounty manager of that bounty. If it's someone who's reputable and decides to moderate the thread, the purpose is to avoid and delete spam messages.
But if it's coming from someone you don't know and just came by through the forum and made a thread for an unknown project, well, you got the right mindset thinking that they're removing posts about questions about their project or bad reviews.

Yes we should avoid self moderated bounty thread because usually they want to cover their red flags, unless you know who they are.
Some top bounty managers are self moderating their thread to reduce spams which is a good thing.
Hunters should join the campaign on normal thread, so they can raise questions freely.

Yes, those are dangerous and shady projects. If they intend to scam then you will never be able to complain because they will delete all negative comments. I never participated in such projects

i think this opinion more objective than other's comment. just due this moderation we call this as scam project, there are another important reason that be our concern facing scam bounty.

[ecnalubma]

Self moderated thread is reasonable if its used for a good purpose, some managers might use it to prevent the thread from being spammed. Its okey if trusted managers use the feature but I’m hesitant to new ones using the feature because it could be abused.

I thought nobody is seeing this, I've seen few bounty threads that are self moderated, if I ask any questions it won't take a minutes before the OP removed the post, I think it's better to stay away from such projects, something is definitely fishy about self moderated threads

Yes you are spot on and right, i have my own restrictions as regards ibidtowin as well. But why would a Bounty manager hide or self moderate a Bounty thread? That's a redflag.

Also, Bounty manager that refuses to give a direct answer should be ignored

We have too many lazy bounty hunters on this forum that don't even care about deep research, I just pity them because they are wasting time on such project like ibidtowin which is no doubt a Ponzi scheme project, self moderated bounty threads should raise eye brow if you are a cautious type

[qomariah95]

I think some managers do that, self-moderated. Because the usual reason is when the campuses end, they can lock in the topic. I didn't know moderate was dangerous like many people said here, to get fake reviews if the announcement thread.

[LazerPanther]

Yes, it is very dangerous for us to participate in campaigns like that, I have seen a lot of scam projects with censorship topics and bounty hunters cannot denounce them on those topics.
