The bounty section is flooded with new accounts that 'join' all kinds of bounties, even when they are closed. Probably lot's of bots, never reading anything in the threads. Posting reports, even when not needed, even when the bounty is over.
Would it be a nice idea to exclude newbies from that section of the forum? To stop the spam?
It often happens that bounty managers don't accept newbie accounts
Most bounty managers/campaigns don't have such restrictions just on bounty campaigns but they do on signature campaigns but not due to the quality of their contributions or ease of abuse they commit but merely for the fact that they don't have worthwhile signature space. However, I'm increasingly noticing more and more campaigns that are paying newbies because why the hell not. If you've premined a crapcoin for free then it doesn't matter who you pay as long as they're spamming your advert all over which is all they want at the end of the day.
