Are bounty managers to be blamed?

[Falcon]

Being a bounty manager myself, i would have to say that these things will bound to happen.

There will sure be a scam ico that will approach a guy to ask him to do bounty manager. And if you are new, with an offer like this, i totally can understand why some guys willing to take up even though they do not verify fully. This is because it is such a rare chance, i rather take the risk than to lose a great opportunities.

In addition, if an ico is a legit one with substantial financial backing, they would have gone to more establish service providers, like my company BlockFolks. Ico service providers dont charge cheap, and one of the reason is that they will do their diligence check, meeting up with the dev team to discuss on the roadmap, give advise, have roadshow/meetups/conference to attend etc. That is why people tends to support bounties host by these service providers.

In short everyone must have self awareness to do their own responsibilities rightly and not by neglecting and blame the bounty managers.

We should have a new regulation about this case. Many Scam ICO happen lately. The people that are involved should get punishment. For me, this case is a serious problem.

I can't imagine how is that possible to enforce such law.
You're right about scam ICOs, but now there's no effective way to solve this issue.

[husanchaika]

It's not their faults to indulge you in scam projects. Most of them are like you here on altcoinstalk and they are paid to do their job. In most cases, the managers themselves are being scammed and don't receive anything. they are not to be blamed.

Yes, you're right.
There's no guarantee that a project can't turn to be a scam, and most bounty managers do their due diligence properly.
But there are some of bounty managers that knowingly advertise scams may be because they are in pie distribution, too.
Such managers should be banned from forum.

All errors are in the ico project. bounty manager just runs the task given the ico project. bounty managar error exists if the bounty manager makes a miscalculation of the stake and is unfair in assessing the participants.

I agree with you. more the bounty manager plays an active role in terms of counting stake and awarding grades weekly. so it's not completely a failure and scam a project due to the bounty manager.

[Anti frustasi]

I think managers should immediately provide an official information about ico when experiencing obstacles and allow for failure so do not make the participants expect bigger against the ico and immediately switch find other ico in order to gain an advantage in the future.

yes, we can be blamed if we promoting scam ico, but people should understand our position and also cryptocurrency generally, many things turn to scam in crypto world, people should prepare themself, doing their own research etc

If project was going to be real, yeah it's ok from bounty management team - there is nothing wrong on bounty management.
But if they do not do their due diligence, if they do not their research and most of all if they knowingly launch bounty campaign of scam project, then such team should not only be blamed, but also banned on forum and not allowed to carry bounty campaigns anymore.

well the position of bounty manager is same as bounty hunter itself. so i dont think Bonty manager can be blamed on the scam project. he/she has no idea of the bounty itself. people shoul be more proactive to gain information of ICO product.

but, sure their reputation as Bounty Manager will decresed

Actually, I don't think that bounty management team's position is exactly as bounty hunter's.
Do you mean that if project will be scam they will be like deceived and will get nothing?

Who else?  The bounty hunters blame the manager, manager blame the project owner.  My first bounty (not on this forum) suspended after I join for almost two weeks without explanation.  I am lucky, I check their ANN thread that day where they add the word SUSPENDED.  If not, I still doing my task for that bounty.

For some extent, you are right.
I also have joined a campaign, the thread of which was deleted from bitcointalk entirely. Project team blamed for that bounty management, bounty management blamed project team.
Bounty hunters got deceived and disappointed.
Aftermath the project turned out to be scam.

So ones again we have been scammed by another ICO known as Uchit. Now people have started raining insults and curses on the bounty manager that he has led them to be scammed. Despite the numerous apologies from the manager, bounty hunters do not seem to understand. Now my question is, do you think bounty hunters must be blamed when we are scammed because they knew what the ICO was up to, even from the beginning?

Yes I agree sometimes bounty hunter did not listen the apologies of campaign admin just like in BPS campaign when the admin adjusted the bounty rewards allocation the bounty hunters got mad and they are making scammed thread to destruct BPS to investors and finally it becomes a scam project.

[eldial]

For me managers also has the responsibilities of reviewing the project very well before accepting it because their reputation is at stakes in which in return it the bounty become a success then for sure they will earn more reputation and they will become more popular of handling a bounty. Its just like your are a manager in a certain restaurant in which you should study well the place and the environment of the business to determine if it will become a success or not because your future reputation will depend on it.
