So eliminate all the bounty threads. And we non-techie persons and "toxic" bounty hunters will just move on to another platform.
If those bounty hunters would stay in their bounty-hunting threads that could be tolerable. The problem is - they're infecting the rest of the forum. And if they could go and earn those bounties on "another platform" they would have done so already.
