I'd like to see something like earn x amount of merit in y period, and you can post there.
In that case you might as well close bounty child board as there would be no one left to do them.
By far the most elegant solution would be if bounty managers required bounty hunters to be at least Jr Member/Member to join, but since that is not in their interest of course they won't do it.
Its all about the numbers and there's no other way to get those without army of newbie alts.~
That's why this is damaging for the whole crypto space. That's why there are so many scam projects out there. Because this is a generator of fake popularity and lure newbies into loosing money. Big part of those newbies won't come back to crypto in years, maybe never.
It's damaging and it has to stop somehow.
Also there are newbies joining the forum to spam because they have no idea that all those projects are just trash. They just follow the stream ...
We had discussions some years ago about that there should be requirements/special rank for the bounty managers. This is the only way to control the quality of those bounties, you won't get rid of the alt's nor the scam, but they will be widely reduced.
