Re: Did I get scammed for a bounty? Can I prevent this from happening in the future?

I followed the instructions to the bounty posted on BitcoinTalk. I submitted the links to my articles. I asked BEFORE the bounty was distributed IF I needed to submit my articles any where else or do anything else. They told me I was "All Good". I put all of the work I did for the bounty in the bounty log on discord. I made posts about Eth Town on Reddit, Steemit, Twitter, etc. and constantly replied/supported the project. My life got busy and I stopped checking the discord channel because I assumed I was "all good". The main net was delayed and I never received any bounty/airdrop.

These are the messages I received from the manager. I need to know... Am I at wrong or did I get scammed?

I'm really sorry to hear that. Lately there are all sorts of projects out there, so be cautious before you join for their bounty campaigns. I tend to do the same research as I would do if I'm investing money in some project, because even though I'm not investing my money I'm investing my time and that means pretty much too.

Especially if you join multiple bounty campaigns it is kinda hard to watch for every rule because they all might be different. And some bounty managers are flexible but some aren't that much. Just be sure to keep track of the rules, and yeah sometimes it is good to document your conversation with bounty managers in situations like that. But even that won't help out if project turns out to be a complete scam...
