People are free to try offer better deals and services though often times they'll likely be much worse.

Offering better deals in this area almost always means offering horrible services.. I don't think it is fine to do this, especially not when the user was already hired. If you allow this, then you essentially allow users to do this out of spite; slippery slope here and there, you reject someone's entry in a bounty because of them being a farmed account: They attempt to get you ("legitimately; by offering "better" services") fired.

It's a shitty thing to do but not illegal. The only issue I would have is if you had a deal with a company and they got rid of you during the campaign just to save a bit of money. That would be a breach of contract.

I didn't tend to imply that it was illegal, but rather that it should be unethical and thus tag-worthy. Good hint on the contracts; I believe that bounty managers should create a binding standard.

I think there should be more scrutiny on new managers popping up to run campaigns because nefarious individuals are getting involved and successfully scamming money from people or siphoning off money to their alts, and then there's the shitmanagers who do absolutely nothing about spam and accept and pay for any old shit. If something had been done about these users we wouldn't have even needed the merit system in the first place.

I completely agree. Given the current situation, there is no need for any new bounty managers (yet). Thus, those coming with the 'because it is needed' or 'because I'm trustworthy and want to help' stories should be tagged.

It is definitely allowed to prove your 'campaign managers' that they're better than the current manager handling the campaign.If the team doubts your capabilities,they will definitely hire the 'beggars' .It's not anyone's fault if you turn out as a disappointment to the team.Obviously no one in the right mind will replace you if you're coming off with flying colours.

Read my previous post. This has nothing to do with the competency of the manager.
