I understand where you are coming from as I also experienced this one. Just recently, a campaign I joined and promoted for 22 weeks now declares that they did not reach the soft cap when it was previously announced that they were able to raise enough funds.
I believe it is a good iniative but the team can go beyond just that and make sure the members of this forum are actually paid by the ICOs that run their bounty here.
I like this but it is probably out of the forum admins hands already. It is unlikely that project founders will be forced to pay.
-------------------
I saw a project that set an escrow for their bounty campaign. Maybe that's something that can be done in the future. The only problem here is that even if bounty participants gets paid from the escrow funds, the tokens might still be useless if the project fails to raise the needed funds.
