Bounty System

The bounty system is an incentive system where a user can post a bounty for things, such as a wanted gallery or for image identification, in exchange for currency as a reward. The currencies that are available for use in the bounty system are credits and Hath.

Posting Bounties

1. Navigate to the Post New Bounty page.
2. Fill in a bounty headline to appear as an entry in the Bounty Overview list.
3. Fill in a detailed bounty description is filled to provide information of what is wanted from the bounty.
4. It is optional to upload a Wanted Poster image (.JPG/.GIF/.PNG) to help specify what is wanted.
5. Contribute a reward for a successful completion of the bounty. The reward can be in either credits, Hath, or any combination of the two.
   • The minimum base reward must be at least 1,000 C or 2 Hath.
   • Additional amounts can be added later by any other users to add extra incentive to the bounty. The additional amounts must be at least 500 C and/or 1 Hath.
6. Select the Bounty Type; either Standard for providing material, Translation for any work involving translating (in which case the source material should be linked/provided), or Editing for proofreading/altering images for a translation project.
7. Set a minimum bounty hunter rank to accept/claim the bounty. It is recommended to set this to "Rank D".
8. Set the Accepted Delivery method, which can be one to all of the following:
   • Galleries posted to the E-Hentai Galleries System
   • Archive download through a file locker service such as RapidShare, MediaFire, etc.
   • BitTorrent files at a public, non-registration tracker (must be seeded)
   • Other; must be specified in the bounty description

Acceptance / Claims

• A user can accept a bounty to notify the bounty poster that the user is searching for the bounty contents or add additional information that the bounty poster may not know about.

• A user can claim a bounty for the reward, given that the user provided what the bounty poster was looking for. The claimer must deposit 1000 credits in order to make a claim which will be refunded if the claim is accepted (it will be forfeit if the claim is rejected).

• After the claim, the bounty poster can decide whether or not it matches the criteria set by the bounty poster, which can then accept or reject the claim.

• If the bounty poster does not decide within 7 days after the user claimed the bounty, the user can force accept the reward. All claims are irreversible, so the bounty poster must check the claims carefully.

• Accepts/claims must have some information entered, as blank accepts/claims are rejected.

Expiry

Bounties can be automatically be cancelled if there are no claims or additional rewards added every 30 days, upon which the rewards will be returned. There will be a warning sent to the bounty poster 3 days before the expiry of the bounty.

Canceling Bounties

In order to have the option to Rescind/Cancel the entire bounty, it cannot be claimed, completed or the bounty cannot have been accepted by anyone in the last 24 hours.

Hunter Ranks

The system will calculate a Rank for every qualifying Hunter, depending on the number of accepted and rejected claims the Hunter had made. Every Hunter starts out as Unranked. After getting 5 accepts with 2 or fewer rejects, an Unranked hunter will move up to Rank C. In addition to counting accepted claims, a high accept-to-reject ratio is required for the higher Ranks.

The ranks are ordered as such:

Rank	Requirements
Rank A	50+ accepted claims and at least 10x as many accepted claims as rejected claims.
Rank B	20+ accepted claims and at least 5x as many accepted claims as rejected claims.
Rank C	5+ accepted claims and at least 2x as many accepted claims as rejected claims.
Unranked	None of the other requirements are met. Default rank.
Rank D	2+ rejects or more accepted claims than rejected claims.
Rank E	10+ rejects and more rejected claims than accepted claims.
Rank F	25+ rejects and more than 2x as many rejected claims as accepted claims.

A limit exists on how many bounties from the same poster a hunter is credited with towards their rank in order to prevent abuses.
