The bounty participants are left hanging they are still waiting and they are still hoping for answers because on his last post in the bounty campaigns he promised to escrow the funds and possible continuation the campaign, it's like giving them false hope, participants would better look for other campaigns and stop hoping if he comes back only joined if he escrows the payment or you'll regret it later.
The participants aren't being forced to wait until the campaign continues, they have their own responsibility to join other campaign. But since most of BTC campaign doesn't accept Member rank, they prefer to wait and not join the Bounty section.
Campaign hasn't resumed yet, but when it does we'll know how it'll be handled but most likely all previous spots will be retain meaning campaign will continue from where it stops. Those that have been indicated to be demoted will be demoted and others ranked up and those that left before campaign was paused loses their spot although those that left after campaign was paused can come back.
But yet lightlord is benefiting from that pausing of campaign because still there are many members wear the signature and avatar up to now meaning the gambling site is gaining free advertising while being paused .
Yep, but they're not so active as before since their post aren't get paid now. People are mad when they're already completing the work but didn't get paid anything, but people aren't mad when they literally doing it for free.
