· Föderation EN Mo 05.05.2025 15:19:16 @LukaszOlejnik If I click on the reporter's username, there is a list of "closed bugs" together with dollar amounts. Is this money paid out? If so, the slop is profitable, so it won't go away. |

Föderation EN Mo 05.05.2025 17:06:45 @loke @LukaszOlejnik You've heard of beg bounty, maybe the next thing is microbegging. As long as it's cheap to submit plausible-sounding bugs, people will do so in the hope that one in a hundred will pay a hundred bucks to make the reporter just quietly piss off. |

Föderation EN Mo 05.05.2025 17:55:28 @ftp_alun @LukaszOlejnik Seems like it. Since it's basically free to send out an uncountable number of reports, there is no limit to the number of reports you can send. On the receiving end, there's a lot of work though, but that's not their problem. |

Föderation EN Mo 05.05.2025 18:06:23 @loke @ftp_alun @LukaszOlejnik There should be a cost to have more than a small number of outstanding reports, non refundable if any of them are found to be fraudulent. |

Föderation EN Mo 05.05.2025 18:12:36 @dalias @ftp_alun @LukaszOlejnik That's a pretty good idea. How many actual issues would a decent analyst find in a month? 10? I think something as low as 1€ per submission would likely fix the problem. Hopefully when someone with as much clout as @bagder raises this as an issue, someone might notice? Surely the companies paying out the bounties to the fraudsters would like to, you know, not do that. |
