the cheater bounty participants began to act again

[pallang]

currently I am one of the assistant bounty managers, currently there are many cheaters who follow the campaign that we are managing and what we find that the cheaters are starting to act again with multiple accounts by creating a new bitcointalk account to join the bounty then using other people's social media link profiles

Until now, there are still many chats who say that their social media profile accounts are used by other people
I also have difficulty handling it because they also create PoA in every campaign so that it makes us not know who the original owner of the social media is until finally we tell the bounty participants to give negative trust to all accounts that use their social media links because it is very detrimental to participants who honest and also a project developer

so I invite all of you to do the same by double-checking the bounty spreadsheet that you are following and if you find your social media profiles on other bitcointalk accounts to give negative trust

In most of the bounties now a days, cheaters registered in social campaign using my details except wallet address. It is very difficult to check cheating in every campaign. When i find cheater using my details, i inform bounty manager to investigate and reject the cheater. Bounty managers should check every participants by their wallet address provided in the proof of authentication post. It will easily help bounty managers to find out a cheater.

Not only on social media campaign but on all bounty section. And these cheaters will not copy the profile link of a member but rather they will choose high rank members and copy details except the wallet address.

The only solution i think to stop cheating on bounty campiagns is
Limiting the bounty participant
Authentication post
And everyone that joins should also make a pm to the bounty manager on telegram that contains thier details to be checked if its real or not.

This dishonest act is becoming increasingly rampant in bounty campaigns. In my own case, it will be difficult for a cheater to use my account because my BTT profile name is similar to what I use across my social media handles: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram. My identity is constant.

I think bounty managers can simplify the problem by requiring hunters to probably post their proof of Authentication/registration on their social media as a proof of ownership before they begin tasks. It's a simple solution that will help solve the problem.

limits the participant isn't a solution to prevent cheaters on a campaign. Instead of limits or exploit your pm's box, it's far better to do KYC for each participants ( they could use/buy other KYC though). In the end, there is no 100% sure method to prevent cheater from a campaign

It seems that it's really tiring and stressful to be a bounty manager or at least assistant I tried to look before to some spreadsheet it looks like there's a lot of participants especially for the social media campaigns it's really hard since instead of just checking the participants the manager's work would also include looking for bounty cheaters so it's really a hard work.

[toast]

a lot of users are doing scam, projects owners running to their participants, bounty managers who doesn't pay their participants and also the bounty hunters itself who uses different kind of abuse to bounty campaigns. it looks like whenever you go or whatever your status or position cheaters are all over around.

[electronicash]

its been done before many times. for the honest ones, they may not be able to accept the fact that bounty campaigns are not moderated.

i know google can't identify ip address of users who fill the forms but if there is any other platform for it, it may be useful. if this is possible bounty managers may be able to identify cheaters through the ip addresses.

Kyc might really stop all the possible cheats but do you really think that it is really worth to ask out bounty participants yet we know that they are just advertisers? Not it isnt really that right.

Cheaters would always exist no matter what but they can be somewhat controlled if the manager is really just strict on inputting rules which would really limit out the possible cheat or abuse

via setting out lots of verifications that cheaters wont able to succeed if they do try to make multiple or make use of other accounts.

We cant stop cheaters if were talking about money. Anyone can do bad things if money is involve, they will do anything to cheat and get the money in the form of stealing.

One good solution to stop this kind of cheating is to limit bounty participants from Members and up only in this way this newbie accounts which is mostly created by cheaters and also spammers cannot join any campaign, Jr members is easy to achieve because you only need a single merit to rank up thats why Im proposing to only accept Members+.

There are other sides of the coins also.
Sometimew newbie or jr. members produce better and higher quality posts than “member+”.
From project point, it is better that 100 low rank account plague all the forum than 10 hero/legendary that post in meta and mega threads.

That is making a limit number of participants is not always a solution.

Such things have been repeatedly done by some unscrupulous forum members, wanting to benefit from honest bounty members. And here we can see whether someone's bounty manager does indeed follow the bounty rules that he has managed or not. because things like this will not pass if the bounty manager carefully reviews each bounty participant

[ansarose1]

This is common strategy for fraudsters doing in joining a campaign. They would likely to join telegram campaign and social media campaign such that they will copy other's social media profiles and put their eth address with their own. I hope bounty managers can stop and banned these people for being fraud and stealing others work on social media profiles. They only want to be rewarded for the work of others.

[Cryptomiles1]

I have faced lot problems from bounty hunters, many of them have been using my details to register on bounty which if i want to join the campaign my details will appear multiple places. this is what made me to stop doing media campaign.
Sincerely speaking this is very bad enough for hunters to stop doing.

If i happened to be bounty manager, the only solution to stop those fraudster is to ask all participants to link their media details to the Bitcointalk forum profile, by this none will complain about using their details to submit for a work. In addition, all participants should filled their wallet on the btt profile as well too.

It is not that easy to avoid or to minimize the number of cheaters. Cheaters gonna be cheaters and they will have many ways to cheat. It is proven for years already where there are many people get caught cheating in bounties with multi accounts.

Cheaters will always ready with any conditions from the bounties. In case of linking the social media accounts with the bitcointalk forum profile, cheaters will create more social media accounts and bitcointalk accounts (even buy it for cheap). This way, they are still able to get more tokens than normal user with 1 account only.

If you are to be bounty manager, how will you deal with such situation while it is hard to detect that those multi accounts are owned by 1 single user?

Cheater bounty participants still exist now here in cryptocurrency,

There were still cheater bounty participants before. However, the number of cheater team and campaign manager is not less.  There are thousands of campaigns that cheat with Bounty Hunters.  The most successful campaign of 2021 is Student Coin which makes a biggest cheating in history with Hunters. If hunters cheat, there is a system of rejection from the campaign or negative trust, but what will you do if they cheat?

We wont get rid of those cheaters because there would be that someone who would really be taking advantage into something which they can see that they could make more money.

They do know the risk and pretty much aware excluding into those total noobs that do really believe that they can execute it easily without being traced.

As long this market does involved lots of projects that do launched neither a legit one or not then these fellas would continue to exist no matter what.

Cheating those cheaters? How contradictory it is.
