The more bounties that are sanctioned, the more FORCE the MODS have in arbitrating them.

Questions: How often does it happen that someone refuses to pay a bounty with stipulations?

Out of how many stipulated bounties on average?
We arent trying to stop stipulations. I never once said that. What we are doing is distancing ourselves from them so that it is clear they have nothing to do with us.

The majority of user bounties are placed by people who get knocked out as revenge and dont have any stipulations. The main issue is the bounties that stem from LLB's where people offer bounties on their LLB opponents, but only if they are still in tourney when the person in KO'd.

I dont have the exact number of people who refuse to play, but at a time it did cause some issues and we have basically stopped stickying them since (Yes a few have been stickied since) and the issues have dissappeared.

So in summary, since we initially stopped stickying the stipulations drama has decreased, and now with this thread the aim is to stop the drama wrt people complaining why we wont sticky a bounty.

I understand your concerns but atm its all theories of what might happen. What we are doing is something to solve issues that are already happening. If things go badly we can always reconsider.
