Why not force bounties off site?

On the first line, he can't even type the correct word.
The second line posts his username. Yes, we can see that already, and offering to pay people to post their username was specifically mentioned by theymos.
The third line posts a link to his profile. Yes, we can see that too.
Then the ones they're going to spam: Telegram and Twitter, apparently.
The last line shows an altcoin address, that's also what theymos mentioned, and by my interpretation isn't allowed.

I don't think your judgement about this are correct, because this kind also happen in Service discussion, Collectibles, Lending and Games & Rounds sections

I think theymos allow it because it has more effort rather than just post username or Bitcoin address only, although the post you provided above can be included to "shitpost" because he can't type the correct word and not using capitalized letter when he write the new line. I've report the post, let's see what the moderators will do.

The main problem why it's spam because there's no limit for the participants, maybe in the future theymos would add restrictions to force at least Member rank to join or have specific maximum participants.

I have reported several hundred empty registrations as spam. Users found a loophole to increase their activity by simply publishing templates for registering for a bounty without their data. Such posts are deleted by moderators instantly, but if we talk about those posts where there are wallet numbers and social network data, the reports always get a bad rating.
How can avoid having bounties on the forum for the OP if they make him nervous? Just check the box in the display of these sections to take care of the nervous system.

My guess was right, it'll just get flagged badly by the moderators.

It meant he had no other choice but to ignore that part completely and forever.
I just don't know what the problem is, if it's a violation for joining alt on the same bounty - then he should be able to prove it in the provided thread, but if posts like that are considered spam then I guess he really hates those bounty hunters or maybe hated that part completely and now he must ignore it forever.

This would be imho a bad idea. This would have the potential to boost again account sales, maybe merit selling and who knows what other related "cheating".
So why would he introduce new risks? I think that ignoring altcoin bounties and maybe altcoin service announcements too is a more sane approach.

This whole post is utterly useless. And there are millions of them!

I might be wrong here, but I think those "proof of authentication" post are seen as similar to the signature campaign applications so that might be the reason why they don't get deleted even if you report them. And I don't think that bounty hunters get any tokens in exchange for writing them so it can't be seen as breaking the rule about incentivizing posting.

Insisting on useless bounty reports posts, they actually stimulate further spam. and I'm almost sure that none of the managers checks every report and every link posted.

Imho, the main reason why bounty managers still stick to bounty reports inside bounty topics instead doing it via Google form is because that way their bounty campaign gets bumped to the topic, making it visible to other bounty hunters. I mean, that seems like the only logical reason to still insist on them because Google form makes way more sense if you want to make your job as easy as possible.

Not gonna happen as theymos is not a fan of any type of newbie jail. After all, why should forum staff even have to deal with that, it should be bounty manager's job to sort it out.

It's good to realize that these post are useless and uncalled for; it's even better if we could seize them slots and make a rule not to have them back in here..., But it's WISE to allow 'em bounties in here (as long as we still have sig. campaigns striving too).. else the forum is gonna have a provably unfair operational etiquettes.
I believe Theymos isn't ready to hinder anyone for whatever reasons they got registered in here; as long as that doesn't go against the rules of the forum. I'm seeing it this way; these bounty companies aren't gonna get any popularity or running ADs for themselves without the help of those hunters..._{since Thier pay isn't worth anything, they cannot hire several accounts with high reputations to promote them}, they simply keep scrambling endlessly with those unlimited bots.
Maybe Theymos feels that everything wrong in here could have a lil positive impact someday?? Or maybe he's just accommodating?

They are worthless but there is no discussion about these bounties they are just there to get money and post the same thing over and over again.

The board itself is doing what's its purpose, period.

Obviously you can't discuss on bounty boards and by the word bounties its really for money making purposes. The spam is subjective, it may look like a spam to you but for others not because those kind of posts ^{(proof authentication post)} is made just for that board.

One of the very reason of posting such authentication posts is to prohibit of joining multiple accounts which will be a pain in the ass if managers would allow registration using google form or whatever they will use offsite.

I wouldn't do anything about that unless the volume of bounty posts was negatively impacting the forum's performance, which is pretty much impossible to happen given that it's using Cloudflare - and since it's intended to stop DDoS attacks, a bunch of bounty hunters posting at once will hardly register on a network traffic graph (in gigbaytes).
