| Nov 2, 2020 at 8:44 | comment | added | Jyrki Lahtonen | @MartinSleziak You were right. More careful reading of the rules makes it explicit. I had somehow missed that detail. Deleting my first comment. | |
| Nov 2, 2020 at 8:37 | comment | added | Jyrki Lahtonen | @MartinSleziak Wow! I did not know that. I was worried about me placing a bounty of 250 meaning that nobody can then place a bounty of less thean 500. Thanks for the piece of news! | |
| Nov 2, 2020 at 8:33 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @JyrkiLahtonen Would you mind clarifying what you mean by saying that you "effectively denied them the opportunity to place a smaller bounty"? IIRC the rule about doubling the previous bounty amount only concerns bounties offered by the same user. | |
| Nov 2, 2020 at 8:32 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Personally, I usually start the first bounty at 50 reputation points. Mainly because the next bounty on the same question has to be at least doubled. (Sometimes you might want to put multiple bounties on the same question - for example, if there are several good answers and you want to reward all off them; or if there are no satisfactory answers even after the bounty expired and you want to get attention of potential answers to the question for a longs period of time.) | |
