To be clear: A lot of the people who are applying to bounties are just dumb. This is not subjective, this is not racist or discriminatory (or whatever the "The Pharmacist vs. Filipinos" thread is about). They do not bother to read (or are unable to understand?), and they are often very self-entitled. You can see this in bounty campaigns which have moved submissions to external forms,
a lot of people still keep spamming the thread (even though those submissions will be ignored) and a lot of them don't respect the time limits per round either.
This should be disallowed, right? If the bounty threads are requiring this kind of reporting then it's simply another form of incentivizing posts on the thread. Another way of just 'bumping'.
Per that rule: Not really. They are similar to signature campaign applications. Should they be disallowed? Absolutely. Services, can and should move the registrations off of the forum to avoid unnecessary spam.
