Most people could care less about bounties and bounty managers unless they are either the manager or a participant in the bounty. The bounty being posted creates so much spam half the time, that users would rather bounties just disappear. That being said, there has been the start of a discussion regarding who should be a manager, what responsibilities they have to users, responsibilities to the project and team, when they should be tagged or if they should be tagged.
My stance
1. No more newbie managers period!!! Escrowing something to hold teams accountable. I get it, not all teams are willing to escrow something, and I know managers are eager to start earning something. If a company won't escrow some funds, don't take the job!!! If the bounty is managed by a newbie, DON'T join.
2. If nothing is escrowed, DON'T join!!! Being a manager should be an earned position IMO. Not just anyone should be able to start trying to manage a campaign. Build a reputation and then start trying to do some extra tasks. Even though this particular manager isn't a newbie, he still should have passed on the job or got funds escrowed.
Bounty hunters need to have some pride or brains. Don't just take your chances and gamble joining every bounty and pray you get paid.
Please take a minute and answer these questions:
1. What should be the requirements to even be trying to manage anything on this forum?
2. Should projects who will not escrow be allowed to advertise? If yes, should a manager be tagged if the team doesn't pay?
3. Should bounty hunters be tagged or ignored if they join a bounty not escrowed and they make a complaint here?
4. Should we just not care and keep shit the same?
5. Should teams be doxxed to stop the possibility of a scam and open the possibility of legal actions?
I may add more questions if someone posts a good 1 to be added. I will remove spam comments, not looking for anyone to fill their sig quota with a generic opinionUp to this point, managers have used a disclaimer basically stating if the team will or won't be distributing payments and accountability has been bypassed by them, myself included. This has led to multiple bounties scamming participants. By multiple I mean probably 100 or more bounties have scammed since 2017. Again, I know most of you don't care about this subject, but opinions would be appreciated and change needs to happen.

You guys are directly involved with bounties or are people on the forum whom I believe will give a fair opinion and stay unbiased about the situation.
