I really appreciate the facts that people have different opinion on this. Just like there are rules governing the the do's and don't in this forum, I think it will be fairer if such rules are also implemented to govern task reward. In so doing, there will a uniform method of payment in the forum and anyone (individual or company) who embarks on setting up a project will know the number of participants expected to participate and how much they will be paid according to to the stakes given . But at least it should be worth each ones time and energy.

Talking of improving skills to earn high, nobody wakes up to gain skills automatically without actually practicing what he learns to gain the skills. In as much as bounty should be viewed as workshop to improve skills and knowledge, people's time time should be rewarded because they help promote a project in seemingly unknowing ways.

And as for the bounty hunters, I suggest you do not become ignorant of rules governing a project. As our predecessors all said, bounty is at your risk. Please educate yourselves to understand the payment pattern of a project in question  before participating. It will be help keep fraud at minimum.

We all want to maintain decorum and keep the forum safe for everyone. Let's collectively work hard to keep everything fair and reasonable.
