A big sign of a bounty scam in recent time.

[Master107]

Hunters can get banned for multiple reasons. Your reason(getting banned for complaining about distribution) is a grey area. The project team can say the hunter broke a rule by complaining in the main group, which is a well known bounty rule. But sometimes the project team and bounty manager do not cover themselves in glory with the way they field hunter questions. Some completely ignore the hunters, without explanation

There are a lot of things to consider before to come up into conclusion that may result to banning or maybe something necessary to change the budget allocation due to the fact that hunters has a multiple entries.

With regards to managerial aspect, we cannot verdict the accurate opinion since we deal in this decentralized world. It means managers may not or maybe the reason behind all of the uncertainties. However, it may happen in vice versa.

The managers may be the channel why the project great fully succeeded with the help of hunters.

To me, one of the red flags of a bounty scam is the inactivity or poor social media presence of a project. Most of the time, they are in their way out. I just usually stop the bounty and observe

indeed one form of prevention that you might be able to do, but not infrequently they complete all activities through social media and others and even packaged well.
but in the end it also does not guarantee that they will not cheat, because the opportunity is always there and they continue to do because there is no movement to give them a deterrent and will not do it again.

I think even the team ban you from their telegram it is not bug deal to assume they are scam. Maybe sometime if you ask relevant question about team details and whitepaper then they cannot answer instead they kicked you out from their group. It is possible they are scammers and does not want to tell the truth.

Many of us had learnt some of the signs of a possible bounty projects scams, like no or poor white papers, identity of project team members etc, but I think that the biggest sign of a bounty scam is the hunters telegram ban by project team for speaking out about the coin/token distributions. I have experienced this situations severally and I think that it is the biggest sign of a bounty scam in recent times. What do you think?

Bounty scam, we must distinguish about the team of project or the team of manager.
Because I have joined bounty, the project is successful, the team of manager is reputated, but the project didn't pay the rewards.
Bounty manager is still exist until now, they are good team.
The team project is scammer

In inclusion to these signs, there is howber a probability that the project will not remain capable of to acquire the required quantity of money through the token sale and will come back whole the controlled capitals to investors, good , bounty hunters will be left  hand with negative.

I do not at all think that the ban on talking about rewards and, in general, about the bounty campaign in the main group is something suspicious. In the conditions, everything is clearly stipulated, where and what to ask. For questions, there is a bounty campaign chat. The organizers do not want to turn the chat about the project, roughly speaking, into a dump. Everyone knows perfectly well that there is a bounty chat, and what questions are constantly asked there. Who might like it, I think I shouldn't answer.

I completely agree with you. It is very annoying to see how the main group of a project is filled with users always asking the same thing. When airdrop? when distribution? when...?. These things cause potential investors to lose credibility when they see that there is no "seriousness." Users who do those things should be penalized in some way, like receiving only 50% of the reward or receiving nothing, unfortunately I think that's the only way they would learn to ask questions in the appropriate place.

Bounty scam, It's always be there.
We must be careful to join bounty campaign, see the bounty manager, reputatee BM or new BM.
Learn their projects, white paper, roadmap and the man behind the project.
If you joined scam bounty, It's waste of  time.
That's really annoying.

Of course that's one way to find out what's going on from their team, but now they also know that and they can anticipate what might happen. we really shouldn't be one step behind them, because they can do everything perfectly and without gaps.

all things can be done but actually more perfect is with protection from all colleagues who if indeed already know that this is a scam project, because it is seen from the team involved or maybe there is an accurate analysis. to immediately inform all participants of this matter so that they do not take the opportunity to gain unscrupulous profits.

With all playing a role, it is certain that gradually all those who cheat will at least reduce, because before it develops, interventions have been carried out so that no one supports it. the problem is that there is no desire from those who know to be able to carry out the intervention.

In general, I try not to ask about the payment of tokens when I participate in bounty companies, because usually bounty managers themselves say when there will be payment of tokens for participation in bounty program, and of course there have always been a lot of scam projects which making bounty companies and unfortunately nothing has changed to date.

In order not to get into a fraudulent project, you need to study it competently before joining. Communication on the forum always helps me to understand how reliable the project is, as well as its developers. But you can't be one hundred percent sure, so sometimes my work in the project remains unpaid, but I get experience.

Telegram is just one more tool among the many that scammers use, it is not responsible for anything, such as Twitter or any other application or social network of the many existing ones. No matter what tools we use, chats, forums or social networks, we must always be vigilant, because there are always scammers willing to steal our funds and a mistake can cost us a lot. We do not have to believe, we must verify absolutely everything.
