[X] My Assistant

Agreed. Most trolls leave no comment.

I came to realize that some legitimate new potential bounty translators/editors and such can be scared off by a troll's blue bounty accept. They think the bounty is taken, and move on.

Not necessarily troll. Aside from contributing to the bounties, it's the only way someone can "bookmark" a bounty they want to keep eye on, from when it's posted to when it's completed. Unfortunately for them, it's not perfect because their "accept" will expire after 30 days.

Or, alternatively, wouldn't it be pretty trivial to just add an actual Track Bounty button/link? Basically duplicate the Accept Bounty function/code, but make it only expire when the bounty is complete (and send a notification to the user(s) who was tracking it) and add another link on the bounties list to "Your Tracked Bounties".

I'd like a semi-random number from [1..3] of items from the bounty list to REPLACE some of the displayed items on the front page.

Since the front page has three major display methods (text only, text with thumbnails, all thumbnails), there would be three different viewing methods.

TEXT ONLY SITUATION
The bounties for which no picture is provided could be chosen to appear here as the first few lines of the listing for the previously uploaded items. The most popular items text table would also have some listings, but these would be the recent most popular bounties. The advantage of sprinkling them at random locations is that some of the disgusting download bots that automatically download everything uploaded might get fooled or bugged up for awhile until the botters figure out how to update their bots or pay the programmer that made the bot for them.

To demarcate them from the non-bounty items, either a simple very thin border line could be placed beneath them to separate them visually from the other items in the table if they appear at the head of each table. If they are sprinkled throughout the table at random positions, their font could be bolded or their font could be in a fashionable pony color approved by Rainbow Dash where every few chars is a different color or the text "[bounty]" is the first item of the description line.

As before, donators have a choice to turn on or off features.

TEXT AND THUMBNAILS
Similar to the text only situation, but users with this display typically have the most popular recent items displayed as thumbnails. For the thumbnails, the bounty items can be bordered with red and its description text changed.

THUMBNAIL ONLY
Because everything requires thumbnails, those bounties without thumbnails posted would not be listed here. Of course, such a system having bounties listed would need to encourage all the bounty postings to have accurate thumbnails representative of the material.

I know the thread's sort of moved on, but I'd like to second the request for a search system. Either that, or a note on gallery pages that they've been mentioned in {x} bounty post, so I can just find bounties I'm interested in with the standard gallery search. That one's obviously not ideal, since many bounties don't link to E-H galleries, but still better than nothing.

I've been (lurking) here for years and I've collected quite a few galleries I'd like to see translated, but I've never submitted or contributed to a bounty. The system is too much work to navigate- there are currently eighteen pages of open bounties. I'm not digging through all that to see if the galleries I want are up or not.

"You can post this bounty again if you wish, but it is not possible to reactivate the original bounty. "

This is as annoying as it ever was. So I am a day late and I have to spend all the time again - even can't copy and paste, because the old page was deleted?

@%@#%#% it. Ten, can't you at least archive those page for few weeks?

Bounties use Credits and Hath. Well unfortunately getting Hath is impossible since you can only do it by either buying Hath (which I can't do) or Hentaiverse or whateva that RPG is (which I don't play nor will never) and there WAS a time you can gain Credits via uploading galleries, torrents, something dealing with downloading an archive, etc., but that's gone too.

I want to see GPs as payment when one is posting a bounty(s).

They used to use GP, but I guess it wasn't as effective as C/H.

The page *was* archived for a few weeks. It's called the one-month period from when you last bumped it. Doesn't fucking help if you don't keep an eye on it or the several warning PMs you get before it expires.

Nobody thinks of archiving as the period immediately after bumping. Bounties are live up to the point they are fulfilled (when they are archived), or cancelled/expired (when they are deleted). So no, this bounty was never archived. It was live for months (over a year), and than because I missed three days it was deleted.

Anyway, those warning messages, Ten, are generated only in the three (I am pretty sure) days preceding the expiration (in other words, in the three days after the bounty was bumped last). That's not much, particularly when one has a busy few days in life, or just goes on holidays and doesn't have good net access. A year or two ago a lot of my bounties expired because I was offline for two weeks (or when I was offline, I was in public places and couldn't really use the site). This bounty expired because I think I don't log in every day here now, I log in every two or three days to catch those bounties. I thought I bumped it up yesterday but I guess I missclicked - and woosh, a year+ bounty is gone.

So pretty please with a pony on top, can you change the system to issue reminders once every week for, uh, a month or two after the last bump? This should be easy, just change few numbers.

I could add more feature requests, such as archive expired bounties and list them on a page that people could adopt them (or just bump), but hey, that's work, so it's not needed if you would just tweak a few numbers in code (one for when the bounty expires, another for when the messages are send). Or heck, send them daily but for weeks (through this may crash people's PMs more quickly...).

"Your bounty [END MAX (Honda Hajime)] PLAN 9 (Irresponsible Captain Tylor) has expired due to lack of activity."

I am, like, seriously pissed, Ten. Would it really hurt you so much to add a few more days to that, and put them in an archive like the completed ones?

They expire after a month, and you want them to issue reminders for a month or two?

Bounties expire for a reason, and any kind of archiving will not happen. It's not that I can't increase the warning to a week, but why don't you bump your bounties before going on vacations or whatever, that way you don't have to try blaming anyone else for fucking up.

Ten, when I have something like a 100 bounties, spaced so that they expire every day or so, and there's no easy week to figure out which ones will expire next other than checking them manually, which is a ridiculous chore. See, you think "you have a month to do it, what's the problem?". I think "I have a 100 bounties, no way to easily figure out which will expire in few days, and if I don't check my PM every three days and/or miss one, they will expire, taking all information with them".

Btw, another easy solution would be a checkbox to automatically renew a bounty. I'd love to set all my bounties to "each months, be automatically bumped by 5000" without having me do it manually.

I get it you don't want to archive trash bounties by newbs, but it would be nice to have more support for members like me. I'd love to get the ability to resurrect my expired bounties; and you could perhaps enable half a year of archiving for members with 1000 posts, or 10 or more completed bounties (they posted), or something like that. Whatever's the easiest, just pretty please try to see it my way: I have to log in and check my PM every 2-3 days or my some of bounties WILL expire, and sometimes I simply cannot do it (holidays, sick, whatever).

I wonder if having so many active bounties that you can't keep track on them reason to treat you differently.

I have only 1 suggestion ,

when we create bounty, i suggest there's an option to choose to "Autobump" feature. Of course this selection only applies at the first make, just like how we make private galleries.

if autobump on
auto take our credits
else
NO auto take our credits
end

err and that's all

Why don't you go here, click to the last page, tab-click the ones that are in the danger zone, and add whatever you want to them? Or maybe all of them, so you only have to do it once every month?

The issues with "archived" bounties isn't only that they make the whole system more complex, but that there's simply no point to it. What would even the difference be between an "archived" bounty and one that's just old? The whole point is to a) get rid of abandoned bounties and b) make people boost bounties with no takers to increase the odds that there might be some. I already gave my answer.

@Red: I've had 50+ bounties posted for a long time, and I just find it easier to take the time to mass contribute to all of them on a good day, which basically means they'd expire at about the same time (really floods my inbox with reminders). <---Seems Tenboro answered that one.

@Ten: For a new feature, would it be much easier to be able to add to numerous bounties at once (my own personal bounties, of course, not random ones). Basically having the option to hit the check box on all of the bounties I want to add to, set the amount and acknowledge. Of course it could be a problem because of lazier, less dedicated bounty posters and newbs, it could make it easier for them to be lazy, so maybe have it as a pricey hath perk or something to weed them out.

Maybe it's just me, but if you have too many bounties to keep track of properly, an obvious solution is to not post so many bounties.

Also, the bounty list is freaking long... no one is going to go through 23 pages. Rather than accommodate the posters cluttering up the list with dozens of bounties, maybe Tenboro should go in the other direction and limit the number of bounties an individual can post to ~10.

I like SS's idea of a checkbox.

Making bounties not easy to use is a dumb idea, however. Too many people using bounties? Maybe too many people using the site? Just make it more difficult to do anything, now that's a great idea. Sheez.

Also, the bounty list is freaking long... no one is going to go through 23 pages.

I did, several times. Anyway, it's like complaining Google gives you too many pages of results. Just refine the search and make UI better for finding what one wants. More bounties = our site (and the bounty system) is more popular = good.

And WTF people are complaining about there being too many bounties? If I want and can afford to have a 100+ bounties, that's my own business. I just wish the system was more friendly towards heavy users.

It's XMAS, but all I am seemingly getting here is hate. Makes me wonder why am I bothering trying to get those translations out... (hey, I know I'll get more hate for complaining, how dare I ask for something nice... this is how this place works, after all, so no need to point it out. Just hate away, I am not going to check this thread for a while anyway, need to cool down for a few days).

@Red
nope, you will never see me hating you xD, coz you've made great contribution by making bounties.

I agree with shanko's idea too
