#3504·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 days agoLet’s say somebody starts a bounty with permissive terms, asking for virtually any kind of criticism. They set a high ceiling, hoping for many submissions. $200, say.
If they only end up getting one or two small criticisms, for typos, say, they won’t like having to pay 100 bucks a pop.
In other words, the few criticisms you end up getting may not be worth the ceiling.
In a future iteration, the user could additionally set a per-criticism ceiling. Which the site would recommend setting when using permissive terms.
This way, the user could set a total budget of $200, say, while capping each criticism at $30, for example. The first 6 eligible criticisms would each get $30, and the next one would get $20. The remaining criticisms would get nothing.
This approach effectively merges #3474 and #3472, giving users maximum flexibility to choose the best outcome depending on what kinds of criticism they anticipate getting based on their terms.
