Good afternoon SI Team.

I am simply writing to propose the possibility of creating a bug bounty system here in the forum. Although I think most people who find a bug will go ahead and report them, it would be nice for us Die Hard SI users/fans to be rewarded for spending the time to find, report, test, the bugs that we do find.

I would propose these options if this is to be considered:
- A monthly giveaway (SI Shirt, Product Subscription, App from the App Store)
- Extra Votes in the Feature Request Section
- Vote on which Feature Request goes to the top of the list (within reason)
- Exchange monthly giveaway for Custom Dev (giveaway value = custom value)

Anyways, these are just some ideas.

You have done it in the past with major releases where you would give the top reporters (with confirmed bugs) a reward. It was always fun and I think (from my perspective) it pushed people to get their hands dirty and find bugs. It probably also yielded a pretty stable release because of the amount of bugs that were reported prior to stable.

Regardless, thank you for all the hard work.

James
I think the idea is great!
indeed, sometimes I have the feeling that I am an unpaid worker here
reproducing errors and making reports from them takes a lot of time. that should be at least somewhat appreciated

Thanks for your input on this. Unfortunately right now, this is not something that we could afford to look into right now.

We will re-visit this again when we have the time and opportunity to do so.

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate it.

This was just an idea, not a necessity.

No problem at all James and I do like this idea and as you mentioned, we did already roll out some of this initially but its just too tedious for us to keep tabs on "valid issues" being raised.

Because it needs to be done in multiple tiers (severity of the issue) and someone has to be sitting down to evaluate all of these issues and we don't have that extra pair of hands to help us assess this.
