Should we red tag and create a flag for ICO bounty managers that do not escrow

[Sirait]

This is for bounty managers who are working on projects who are launching ICO and IEO why not giving them red tag for not doing escrow and make this a must for bounty managers, we have seen so many complaints about project that's been locking, delaying and not distributing the bounty, even if you are not a DT you can create a tag or a flag and let the community support, it's time that something like this happen to protect the community of bounty hunters.

^ I strongly agree that bounty managers must require developers use escrow service, this is just to keep the hunters and investors at ease.

IMO, this topic is more suitable to be discussed in the META thread because it relates to the proposed program.

This is another definition of injustice, you could end up with many red tags yourself lol, what did bounty managers did wrong mate? They are only following the teams order, even if a bounty manager decided to pull the escrow stunt it's on the team to accept or decline.

If that's what you want why not make your own group of bounty hunters that will support the accusations if ever you make one. because one of the manager or project owner didn't pay all of the participants in the right time.

Every campaign has a lot participants and that's enough vote for the account to be flagged . You need to support each other to be able to win that accusations and the more participants support is much better .

For escrow you need to ask the escrow if they are accepting tokens to hold or if the manager is willing to hold the fund before starting a campaign here.

Escrow only guarantees we will be paid, but does not guarantee that the project is legitimate. What should be given a red trust is the manager who is promoting a scam project, because he only cares about himself without caring about the hunter.

[Greatchu]

It's not the bounty manager's plan to use Escrow or not, the project team can easily say no and find other bounty managers, we should only demand for escrow from bounty managers and decide to leave their campaign if they don't use Escrow

[Adreman23]

I think putting red tag to bounty managers that did not use escrow is wrong, There is no rules yet coming from btt staff like mandatory to use escrow to every bounty campaign, if there is no rules yet so there is no violation or they did not break rules and no reason to put red trust to them.  On the other hand assume there is a rule and what if all trusted bounty managers accounts have red trust on their accounts what do you think will happen?

[gabbie2010]

Escrowing a bounty campaign doesn't guarantee the success of the project, I had participated an escrowed campaigns that ended up as scam having believed in the credibility and trust of the manager whereas it was the project that scammed hunters.
Personally I always took bounty campaigns as gambling with a risk of either paying or not,  I am very sure newbies participate in many bounties with the hope of receiving rewards in at least half of those projects.

You should be red tagging the project that refuses to use escrow and not the bm, have you forgotten that bm can only follow the rules of the project team! When the team refuses to use escrow what else can bm do,
Besides some project don't generate tokens until a day or two to listing in exchange, as a result they can't escrow their tokens.

There are not any official rules about it so they are not breaking any rules by not doing escrowed. So they can't be red-tagged.

Beside it's our decision whether to join in that campaign or not, if OP predfers bounty with escrow then better join only on those campaign that have escrowed fund for bounty participants since there are bounty managers I see before who did that. We just need to decide whether to join or not.

That's has been the issue since the beginning I also am a victim of bounties that failed to distribute their tokens even though they reached their softcap, this is one of the reason I left doing bounty in ICO or cryptocurrency and joined Bitvest, you are working for nothing and you are just wasting your time, I hate to be a victim of deceit.

I fully agree with this position but we cannot generalize, there are many managers with excellent quality and ethics in their work. In my opinion, some rules should be taken a little more seriously.

[dobol]

I mean for what? We are muatualism in the bounty industry in my opinions. they take the job and we do our job as well. Most importantly need to due dilligence first, this is very important. and i'll glad to join bounty with escrow, but make red tag isn't necessary if they don't cheat, imo

Even in signature campaign that pay in btc it's not mandatory to use escrow to secure the payment of participants. That's only managers request to secure the funds to make sure everyone will have the payment. so I don't see that it's possible to happen in bounty . You are free to open accusations or flag the manager but I don't see it to be a mandatory requirements for a bountie campaign.

This is wrong, you will end up shooting yourself in the leg, just try to put yourself in the shoes of a bounty manager, you don't know what these people are going through, it's not as easy as you guys thought, before judging a bounty manager please try to take up the role first and let's see if you can cope.

I do not really suggest punishing bounty managers because there are project owners who do something wrong, obviously there is a very important case that if you end up with something wrong with the bounty, there is a bit of responsibility that comes to bounty manager as well, that person had to be more careful and needed to warn the participants as well.

But what we can't forget that the main wrong person there is the project owner, they are the ones who didn't gave what was promised, not the bounty manager. What we can accuse project owner of is stealing our work and efforts and that is as serious as stealing our money, what we can accuse bounty managers of is just doing their job badly, there is a huge difference between being evil and bad versus just doing your job bad, we all have done our job badly at least once or twice.

Then you have no idea how hard it is to manage a bounty project, before doing this to a bounty manager I suggest you manage a project yourself, do you think that bounty managers are the ones that create those bounty rules? It's the project team call for every rules you see on bounty ann pages, do not punish the innocents

Some manager in the past got tagged for promoting scam bounties but most of them are not going to get any tag or support for the flag because bounty manager already give disclaimer about the project and the rewards so they are not responsible if anything goes in the shady way because they also doing work for money in return.

[Ratash]

Bounty managers must pay people in tokens in the time announced and not be delayed because investers and even bounty hunters want to make profits after working so hard the ico managers must keep in mind that the project is not the only priority and be in time for payment bring good publicity to the project.

[qory]

You are free to create a flag to the managers that wouldn't use an escrow but I don't think any DT users would be able to support on that flag or give red tag to the manager. First thing is that it is not required to use an escrow up to now, it's still an optional.

One thing you can do. If you don't trust the manager or the project then just don't join the bounty campaign I think that's that least you can do.

[icekohl]

First they are just the people who are hired to manage the bounty and calculate stakes for the participants. They do not have the right to distribute tokens. There are actually very few projects that accept escrow now, so it is up to you to join bounty or not.
