You are right in this thread, many team's project treating bounty hunters almost nothing. They always locked the bounty tokens and the worst case is they never distributed it to the hunters. The only solution to this is to escrow all the bounty allocation and some bounty managers did this which is a good thing like Julerz, always escrow the bounty allocation.
That's really the hardest part of bounty hunter, once you are ranting over the telegram over the work that you worked and just asking for your tokens, they will just easily get banned you, telling people that you are creating FUD, when you are just asking when are they going to be listed and when is the distribution.
