Bubbalex will listen if the bounty allocation is small and many participants are joining, I PMd him about too many participants on Cartesi bounty campaign and he listened, too much participants on a small budget bounty campaigns aren't good
That's true and it looks like not only bubbalex who has been doing it but some managers too. You can try to take a look at oikos and how it was getting limited into the 150 participants as the maximum cap.
in fact the total participants must be adjusted with the total allocation.
Oikos bounty manager almost ruined the first bounty campaign by trying to extend the duration after a first duration, I'm glad he later changed his mind, new bounty managers have alot to learn, there is no fun turning your back on your bounty hunters, they are the reason why bounty managers get good reputations
