So to protect yourself when doing a bounty:
1. Watch all activities and report scamming to bounty managers ASAP
2. Google your own articles to see if someone has posted it under their account.
3. Dont waste your time with airdrops
But i think, im not agree or no3. There are still many legit airdrop, so airdrop not wasting time. And also the task is so simple
To the admins
1. Check everyone who enters the bounty.
2. Updates stakes frequently so scammers know you are watching.
2. Dont be lazy, put in the work...
I agree with last poin, sometimes bounty manager not update the stake. Also some managers provide stakes evenly without checking one by one
For me join in bountyhive is one of the solution, their support is so good and so active so they can help give information about the project
