MESSAGE
I m wondering why the bounty area about crochet patterns is not kept up to date.
I try to get links about solved bountys and there are a lot solved a longt time but still standing open!
Even when I put the link on the bounty about the uploaded pattern, nobody is closing that bounty.

So what is the meaning then of these bountys if they are not gotting payed to the person who uploaded the pattern?
If I put the link of the uploaded pattern, can moderator than not see who is the uploader?
Or how can I help to close the bountys
It is not difficult to search, but moderators do need to read it

Thank you

If you find a bounty that has been solved, meaning posted to the board, you can report it in this thread. The instructions to report are shown in the thread. Just need to let the moderator know the link to the bounty and the link to the pattern. Please keep in mind it can take awhile for the moderator to take care of it, there is only one handling it, Lolitta, but she will get to it and you will get rewarded for helping :)

At the top of Free Talk area there is a thread named;  Report thread for Bounties


I would have added it as a link but I am having an issue with adding links to my posts right now, sorry :)

Please keep in mind that the moderators donate their free time to work here. We all have busy lives and we do things when we have the time. If you report these solved bounties, it would be more helpful than complaining about it in Free talk.

By the way, replying in the Bounty thread will not do any good because only the author can see the reply. That means Lolitta cant see your answer.
Also it takes time to contact the uploader and we need to wait until the member posts a link. This all takes time.

That is also my problem, I cannot add links anymore, so If I contact Lolitta she cannot check links anymore...
It makes work difficult...
I do not report for my own boutnys , but just bountys and already uploaded patterns, so Bounty can be closed and the person who uploaded can be rewarded!
so it is not for myself!!

Anniekins, it would be easier if I could place links again.
the problem is, before I sended a message to Lolitta with the bounty link and the pattern link, but now I cannot put links anymore, It doesnt work, I got message that I have not permission to put links,
That makes everything more difficult,

Before, Lolitta read my message, and recieved both links from me. So she only needed to check out and punt the reward on the person who uploaded the pattern,

Now it is not possible anymore,
And if I do not complaine, nobody knows that it does not work anymore???
So please do not see this message as complaining but as something need attention, so I can help again to search what can be closed...
I did also all that work in my free time!! And got nothing for it, so see it as a helping hand okay?

Tennerife

Sometimes people upload a pattern but does not know there is also a bounty of it!!
But I believe they also have to recieve the reward, doesnt that be right?
And if I can be that helping hand, I love to be that and do that for Lolitta...
But if everybody thinks Im a complainer, I dont take my time in all that search anymore....

Lolitta

I check now all 5 links where you mention me...on 3 on them I inform users to leave reply,but they didn`t do that yet..
I need to wait users to do that.That is what it is not always easy and fast to close bounty..

Links can be placed without "https://www."

I am doing my best ,really .
Sorry if someone is waiting too long,I will fix that in a a future.

Lolitta

All the users get their reewards..no one didn`t stay without it.

Lolitta

Moderators usually let me know about new thread that can solve bounty .If user didn`t see this ,other moderators let me know,and then I inform user.
Sure,there is always some exceptions.It is huge site ,lot of work ,and I am thankfull for any help,really.
