Well then we will consider to remove the bonus (would love to hear to opinion of more people before we take action). Regarding the submissions, why should we remove also the post of "submissions", as this seems not to violating the rules right or is at least "best practice"?

I used the word optimally exactly because it isn't against the rules. It helps avoid unnecessary spam and it's actually easier to track of (Google forms and sheets).

Saw a few right now on the first page in the bounty board.

I don't spend my day watching a trashcan.

giving a bonus to encourage posting in your own thread is not allowed

Correct.

require your participants spamming the threads with submissions is totally valid

Correct, unfortunately.

require people to post in certain threads is not allowed but widely ignored

Correct.

I'd think offering an additional bonus to post in the ANN thread would fall into the category of an ICO bumping scheme, which is close enough to an ICO bumping service and is equally as shady and untrustworthy when you are at a forum where bumping more than once every 24 hours is not allowed. Incentivizing or paying someone to bump your thread is not something that has been allowed in the past and I doubt will be allowed in the future.

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

Great find. Someone really needs to make a summary of his posts in a single thread for easy referencing.

Anyway i like to further discus the remaining open questions.

Which are?
