- One could restrict campaigns, e.g. only allow campaigns that pay out in Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency that has an independent blockchain and is not an ICO token.
This has been suggested before, this is the first location I found back:
I think if it become rule that all bounties will be paid in bitcoins only (or any established list of Altcoins.)
I do like this suggestion. "Tokens" have no value to me. Meanwhile, they abuse
Bitcointalk to hype the centrally controlled cryptocurrency Ethereum. Tokens are created for free out of thin air, while having to pay actual Bitcoins means the campaign needs to have actual real funding. I'm not much for taking away freedom, but I can imagine setting a minimum payment amount would force campaigns to abandon spammers. With payments in made up tokens, there's no real cost for the campaign. Who's going to pay a spammer a dollar per post?
- Stricter control of Bounty managers.
I'd like to see that implemented, but I don't think it's likely to happen.
I addition I'd like to see signatures removed from Newbie and Jr. Members. Most of the copy paste bots I report are Jr. Members enrolled in an ICO bounty signature campaign.
If they have to buy a Copper Membership to wear a signature, they have a bit more to lose than just 30 Activity created by spamming.
We need to give the bounty managers some tools to help them to regulate their spammers.
They don't need tools, they need inentives to do so.
I'm sure that's true of most managers, but it seems there are a few who are prepared to pay extra for quality posting.
Correct. But spamming is much easier and cheaper, and barely gets punished.
