1. What should be the requirements to even be trying to manage anything on this forum?

None. This is why:

Should never have put the temporary illusion of safety above personal liberty..

2. Should projects who will not escrow be allowed to advertise?

Yes.

If yes, should a manager be tagged if the team doesn't pay?

It depends on the disclaimers they use. You made a good point here:

Most people could care less about bounties and bounty managers

I've received and rejected bounty campaign management offers because I don't trust the project, and from what I've seen, the large majority are only created to make the creator rich, and are forgotten a few years or even months later. I don't really care about spam on social media, but if that's your core business, it's shady.

3. Should bounty hunters be tagged or ignored if they join a bounty not escrowed and they make a complaint here?

Tagged for what? Spamming isn't a reason to tag them. If we start tagging bounty hunters for promoting a (potential) scam, we can just as well tag all of them.

4. Should we just not care and keep shit the same?

That kinda comes with the forum's mission, "to be as free as possible". If people are so desperate they're willing to spam for the small chance of getting paid, I can't stop them. It looks like bounty spammers join as many campaigns as they can, with as many accounts as they can, and if a few of them pay, they'll still turn a profit.

5. Should teams be doxxed to stop the possibility of a scam and open the possibility of legal actions?

That would be fun. Most of the ICO scammers would probably be in jail by now if their identities were known.

By multiple I mean probably 100 or more bounties have scammed since 2017.
~ or run the bounty themselves and will likely be looking to scam.

Of course they're looking to scam! I'm pretty at least 99% of the ICO and bounty campaigns are designed to only get as much money as they can, and then disappear. You only mentioned the bounty hunters who didn't get paid for their spam, but there are many more victims, and the bounty hunters are part of the scheme that lures them in. It gets much worse if you add the campaigns that scammed their "investors". If you would pick 10 random bounty campaigns from 5 years ago, how many are still working on their project?

I think the only change we need, is enforcing this rule on the bounty spam board:

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.

The entire bounty board with millions of links to social media or "proof of authentication" posts shouldn't even exist.

I will (when I see or when I have time) leave a temporary tag if the manager clearly states that he does not guarantee payments.

So a tag for being honest? Don't get me wrong, I hate scammers, but I also feel people should be responsible for their own actions.
