Is this even normal?

This topic needs to be closed because base protocol have paid all bounty hunters what they owe them, presently only social media bounty for base protocol is ongoing, the way teams handled the campaign was poor but everything is been settled

I am happy to hear this. hopefully, the OP will be updated soon.
As a bounty hunter, I am saddened when there is a delay in the distribution or the dev team does not pay according to the agreement. well, even though as a bounty hunter we must be prepared for the worst risk, namely not being paid and trapped in a scam.

The lesson we can take from here is, when there are suspicious signs such as spreadsheets that are not updated immediately, access to the social media accounts of the dev team or the bounty is closed without any reasonable explanation, you should start to be careful and prepare for the worst.

As a bounty hunter, I’m happy to hear the Base Protocol Team has handled this matter with all of their participants. Sometimes as bounty hunters we will experience unexpected problems, such as delays in payment by projects, locked spreadsheets and many other problems. Surely we have to prepare for all those problems.
Because not all of those projects went as smoothly as we imagined.

but as a bounty manager should ensure that it is as good and transparent as possible without any such anomalies, delaying distribution because the team that has not provided an allocation to the bounty manager is indeed reasonable but if it locks the spreadhseet and does not provide clear information to the bounty participants only will make the participants disappointed.

It would really be a disappointing one because you wouldnt know on whats actually happening beyond the curtains and if there are no announcement towards those such blocking or
delaying those payments or distribution then this will really something putting up on someones mind on ending up on being scammed.

No legit project would eventually do this kind of behavior.Everything should really be transparent or can be known yet advertisers are part of the projects success.
Exposure and advertisement does really have significant effect on it.They shouldnt ran off into their responsibilities.

Guys is any of these normal?

1. Admin close down bounty group after bounty ends

2. Admin failed to update spreadsheet and gives stakes to participants and later block access to the spreadsheet

There is no excuse that the team can give about a situation like this or have they paid you.
Why would they be blocking bounty hunters from the telegram group, if not only because they want to scam them?

If there is something they want to do, there is nothing wrong if they keep the group open so that they will let the hunters know that there is nothing they are hiding from them and also to give them the assurance that they are all going to get paid for the works they had done.

plus 1 for this and we dont need to think negative instantly because it  doesnt help in a good way but only help to make the situation more worster .

 they arent scammers at all because they pay in the end but we dont know if what if they only have their own reasons on why they delay the payments and do other things that we think negative already just because we never experience this on any other bounty that we have participated .

Telegram bunches identified with bounties possibly have the right to be shut without issues if the abundance members have gotten their prizes. In the event that the gathering closes before everything is all together, it very well may be supposed to be an endeavor to stay away from installment. The solitary thing you can clutch is the abundance director's last arrangement in the gathering. In the event that they deny it, at that point it's probable they would prefer not to pay.

This is what base protocol team did to their promoters, all those that participate in signature campaign aren't rewarded any stakes and they can't even look at spreadsheet, bounty group is closed too so anyone can't complain and yet the team said they will make distribution in the next 42 hours

then, has it been realized? if so, it means that the team doesn't need social media anymore. but if not, I think it's a scam fix. because closing the bounty group when the token has not been distributed or the token has not been launched to the exchange market is something that is not true. Then not being able to access the spreadsheet is also a strange thing, because it should be accessed so that participants can see their work, also if someone wants to report writing errors in the spreadsheet and so on.

sometimes it can be done after the end of a bounty, and the manager needs it
it took a few days to calculate or the total distribution of tokens from all the total stake obtained from the participants who participated in it, but for example, for a few weeks, for example, if the spreadsheet cannot be opened or we cannot access, it can be said that fraud will occur, and of the project does not want to pay their promoters if the project will succeed.

I participated in this bounty, but it is true if the team distributed bounty payment (because I get payment from the bounty and I participated in signature campaign), it's just that the team isn't transparent and doesn't give bounty hunter the opportunity to check on their work, so we don't know whether the team is calculating the stake correctly or not and provide a bounty hunter with appropriate payment or not, even the team doesn't care about the comments or opinions of bounty hunter, so in my opinion the team is not transparent and fair.

Every delays and disappointments from base protocol team is noted but in the end they still end up paying their participants, that's all that matters, teams have different ways of handling things you just have to go along with whatever the team decide for the project

[CutePanda]

well first, it might happen because :

1. the ICO project failed
2. there's no investor who invest in those bounty
3. it's a scam project

if you ask is that normal or not, well i can clearly say it's not normal, but it happened.
that's why you should do some research first before you choose which bounty you wanna do before,
i hope that you'll be more careful from now on. cheers

You need to work with your research before jumping into any bounty campaigns.

A lots of things can happened while you are participating in bounty works, team may disappear or decline paying participants. Not normal but possible to happened as there are already many scam project who runaway since they don't have any intentions to fulfill their promises, projects that only intend to collect money from poor investors.

Your point shows that you don't know a thing about base protocol, they raised good money through ICO, many investors invested in this token and No it's not a scam project, upon all the delays from the team they ended up settling their debts so I don't see why this thread is still open

That is a sure sign of scam projects and those who participate don this project should post this project to the scam section, so they can warn other people about this especially investors, a legit project should always honor its commitment to its bounty hunters promoters and the community, if they are honoring it, they don't deserve trust from investors.

[Byakuga]

Bounty projects don't have the same team members so be expecting different kind of habits and attitudes from them, you can't do anything than follow their rules if truly you want to get paid, this is just the way things are with bounties, some will end up paying nothing and some will mistreat hunters but later consider them, it's been like this since the beginning

Been getting worse, but who can blame them? I think we just need to wisen up and start treating these jobs like they are: peanut jobs. A proper role somewhere with a recognized project and actual utility and community is never going to be easy but it pays off in the end.

Then again, I guess most people don't want to wait to get a big payoff. Familiar story of crypto.

Who in the right mind would even stay in a bounty if the spreadsheet weren't being updated already?
OP seems to point out the obvious signs already that the project is just going nowhere at all. Just something to expect nothing.
Worse is  that people still yearning and rooting for those. Creating unnecessary free advertisements causing investor to think that it is still a legitimate project.

[meldrio1]

They closed down the bounty group after the bounty ends?, that's not normal that move is likely a scam, and also failed to update the spreadsheet and later hunters can not access it, that's a sign of scam to me but if they promised that you will get your reward in that day then you should wait, if they broke their promised then you gonna move on, there is nothing we can do with those scammers.

[Jocuserious]

After finish distribution bounty token then if they gonna delete bounty group it's normal. But team wouldn't active official telegram group then it can't be normal. there are lot of bounty group gonna delete before distribution token so that's means they won't payment hunter token.
