It's not the first time this has happened, but this time it happened TWICE!!! When it happened a few weeks ago, the moderators/staff commented that I had probably gotten distracted and clicked on “reply” instead of “bounty submission”, which is hard to do given the size of the buttons...
But I accepted it. I believed that I might have been distracted and went on with my life. I've started policing myself more in this regard, I always check that my posts have really been made as Bounty Submissions before I get any peace of mind (I started doing this to avoid any similar episodes happening again).
But this week, what happened is already absurd! I made my post in two bountys (one in the tech community and one in the smite community) and I clearly remember that BOTH posts were perfectly well submitted: circled with the yellow bars, the presence of “Bounty submission” in the upper right-hand corner of the post and appearing normally in the “What's happening” feed as a new Bounty submission!
However, when I went to check today why my submissions hadn't won, I discovered that they were as Replys (WTF???). How did that happen? When did it happen? Why did it change?
I'm really upset, because it's a situation that's obviously a bug in the site that for some reason I've been lucky enough to experience...
As I don't think I'm going to get back any bounties I've already spent, not least because the site has rules to follow, I'm leaving this complaint so that this problem can be investigated and resolved as soon as possible!
Until then, I'll keep checking in on every bounty I participate in minutes before it closes, to make sure I don't get hurt again! (complicated, it's a job I shouldn't have to do) I don't have much else to do and I don't intend to stop using the site, I have a lot of fun with this community and it's really nice to see a project working and moving forward...
