Code bounty site BountySource stealing old bounties
I received this email today
Hi,
You are receiving this email because we are updating the
Bountysource Terms of Service, effective 1st July 2020.
What's changing?
We have added a Time-Out clause to the Bounties section of
the agreement:
2.13 Bounty Time-Out.
If no Solution is accepted within two years after a Bounty is posted, then the Bounty will be
withdrawn and the amount posted for *the Bounty will be retained by Bountysource*. For Bounties
posted before June 30, 2018, the Backer may redeploy their Bounty to a new Issue by contacting
support@bountysource.com before July 1, 2020. If the Backer does not redeploy their Bounty by the
deadline, the Bounty will be withdrawn and the amount posted for the Bounty will be retained by
Bountysource.
You can read the full Terms of Service [here](https://www.bountysource.com/terms)
What do I need to do?
If you agree to the new terms, you don't have to do anything.
If you have a bounty posted prior to June 30, 2018 that is not currently being solved, email us at
support@bountysource.com to redeploy your bounty. Or, if you do not agree with the new terms,
please discontinue using Bountysource.
Thanks for reading
Bountysource Team
