they went to the bounty section to spend the remainder of their days 
I don't see anything wrong to go on bounty section and spend the days as long as they are doing something meaningful. Few months ago there was a user made a post and everyone discovered he is actually producing a lot of quality contents in altcoin boards. He was appreciated by merits from a lot of users.Not that it's wrong, and I don't see anything wrong with it as long as the user is doing something honest with his time there, but as we all know, it's a board known for spam, and those who spend a lot of time there stay a newbie for a longer period of time. Some of the bounty managers are doing an excellent job over there; it is not easy to select a few decent posters among hundreds of spammers. There are still some good posters on the altcoin and trading discussion boards, but the spam outnumbers the good posts.
