Our only concern is keeping the forum clean and making sure no one is using multiple accounts to cheat, and whatever the projects turn out to be in the future is still none of our business.
I disagree. To me, 10 people spamming with 1 account each gives the same result as 1 person spamming with 10 accounts. But the future of most bounty projects is scamming gullible "investors". I'd say it's our business if Bitcointalk is being used to promote scams. They've earned
billions from ICO-scams already and are no doubt still earning a lot of money. Meanwhile, we tag people for scams that are a million times smaller.
And what business do we have if the hunters were paid for their services but the project turned out to be a complete sham in the end? There are perfect project scams out there that list their tokens/coins and then reveal themselves to be a scam project after 3-5 years. What I'm trying to say is that not every scam bounty is obvious or dumb to plagiarized whitepapers or uses a fake team, and there has been a bounty that has made so many bounty hunters some decent money in the past (I'm too lazy to start naming them here).
Most of them only know that they were banned, but they never look into why they were banned in the first place, and because they have hundreds of alts, they don't give a fck and just reactivate, use the same address, and get banned again. Then repeat step one.
I see LoyceV's annoyance and reason for creating this thread. Just look at the reputation branch. What discussions have there been lately? The account complains that it will not be able to "work" because it received a negative tag. And the section is full of such showdowns. If they were ignored, these accounts would never have made it out of the bounty reporting section.
We were stuck on the reputation board for ages with Vob vs OGnasty drama, and just when we thought we were about to enjoy decent cases and discussion, boom!! Account connection threads from newbies and witch hunters began to arrive. Will we ever have a decent discussion on the reputation board? No, Is there no solution? No.
