I'm not here to discourage you about bounty campaigns that are managed by the project team themselves, I'm here to tell you that you need to be extremely cautious, I've noticed that team managing campaigns themselves is not good
1. They have all the freedom of doing any how with your rewards
2. They can change certain rules that aren't reasonable, just because it's their project and they are handling the distribution they are free to do some bad things
3. Bounty Managers are very very important, you can get them nailed for not facing the team to force them to do distribution but you can't fight the team yourself
I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees things this way, or am I?
Yes, you are right.
However, this forum gives the team or project manager the freedom to change campaign rules on the way, even when the project is finished.
Maybe almost all projects in the general rule are written that the manager can change the campaign rules at any time when needed. This means that such a claim is meaningless. And whoever manages the project will be the same. Not necessarily the team of the project itself, other parties who manage the project will also do the same thing.
