I would like to propose a rule about lost media with bounties attached to them.
Recently, a person on Reddit proposed a bounty for a piece of lost media, in their original post they encouraged people to find us to help with the search. Whether you choose to help with the search or not is strictly your choice, however, it is completely immoral to attempt to trick people into doing work for free that they would otherwise be paid for. It is one thing to work out of passion and love, it is another thing to be a hired detective.
Obviously, bounties should be allowed, however if a person wants the community to help with a bountied piece of media, they should have to be upfront about the existence of a bounty.
I propose the following:
"Any member who posts a piece of lost media with a bounty attached to it must make the bounty known to all members in the original post, and link to the website where the bounty can be claimed"
Thoughts?
