No this is unfair.
Most of the bounty programs won't mention this rule in their thread. But when users want to leave the campaign in the middle, they will impose this rule. You can't permanently stick to a campaign which won't end after a certain period of time. I have seen some campaigns which are running for almost a year. Do you still think it's a good idea to stick into these type of campaigns?
i rarely see any bounty program that don't mention this rules in their thread.
In that case why you not join the bounty at the last month and join another bounty before that
