There could be a grace period. For example, 24 hours after the bounty ends, no new criticisms can be posted on the bountied idea. That way, the bounty initiator have time to review pending criticisms.

#3442·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 days agoRather than set a fixed amount for each unproblematic criticism (#3421), the ceiling could be divided among all unproblematic criticisms equally.
That could result in amounts too small to cover transaction costs.

If others can still participate, it’s not really a grace period.

If others can still participate during that time, it’s not really a grace period.

Then all pending criticisms automatically receive equal payouts.

What happens if they neglect to review pending criticisms?

#3456·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 days agoWhat if every criticism on the bountied idea creates a separate authorization? The bounty initiator would add their card on file and then every time someone submits a criticism, the card is authorized for the per-criticism amount.
This idea introduces additional complexity and edge cases. For example, what happens if authorization fails? Need something simpler for an MVP version of this feature.

While this idea sounded promising at first, I now realize it just moves the deadline problem one level underneath the bountied idea.
#3431·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 days agoThe bounty initiator’s card will have to be authorized when starting the bounty. Card authorizations presumably have a deadline, so resetting the deadline won’t be an option.

Who wants that hassle?
Would still be a hassle for users to track refunds.
#3440·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 days agoThat doesn’t address the possibility of others submitting arbitrary criticisms just before the deadline.
There could still be a button to report abuse. People found to abuse deadlines could become ineligible for payouts and excluded from participating in future bounties.
#3449·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 days agoPeople who have submitted criticisms hope to get paid. They have an incentive to submit arbitrary counter-criticisms to others’ criticisms to increase their own share of the pie.
Although there’s a risk for abuse, that’s a feature: it will lead to lively discussions among critics.
If they have submitted criticisms, they may get paid. So they have an incentive to submit arbitrary counter-criticisms to others’ criticisms.

#2504·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 2 months agoI would have it that each criticism and counter-criticism resets the countdown on the bounty deadline. This means everyone involved is given fair time to respond at each turn.
Card authorizations will necessarily have a deadline.
Feature idea: pay people to criticize your idea.
You submit an idea with a ‘criticism bounty’ of ten bucks per criticism received, say.
The amount should be arbitrarily customizable.
There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.

When starting a bounty, the user indicates terms such as what kinds of criticism they want. This way, they avoid having to pay people pointing out typos, say.
#3430·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 days agoBut that would mean that the first criticism receives a payout at the same time the last criticism receives a payout. That creates an incentive to ignore new bounties in favor of older ones.
There is a counter-incentive to be the first to submit a criticism since subsequent criticisms run the risk of being duplicates, and being criticized as such.
#2513·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months agoIdea: when you create a bounty, you set the amount you’re willing to pay per criticism and a ceiling for the total you’re willing to spend (no. of crits * amount per crit).
Your card is authorized for twice the ceiling. In addition, there’s a button to report abuse. If you’re a good citizen, you’ll be charged the ceiling, at most. But if you’re found to submit arbitrary criticisms to avoid paying, the bounty stops early and your card is charged the full authorization.
That doesn’t address the possibility of others submitting arbitrary criticisms just before the deadline.
