Can you elaborate (via an edit, because probably HN won't let you post new replies now), on why you want bountysource to not be involved with your project at all? The desire to not have them involved is what we thought you meant by "bad actor", and we didn't realise that by "bad actor" you meant that they wouldn't remove you when you asked.

Sure. I didn't want them in my projects for reasons that varied from project to project. Sometimes it was that I did not want money involved in the culture of some of my smaller projects. At other times it was because the overhead of dealing with bounties would be counterproductive to the project, since it was likely to lead to low-value contributions that fulfill a bounty but are not up to the level of quality that the project demands of its contributions. "What do you mean you won't accept this patch? It was paid for by a dozen users!" For one of my projects, we have an internal bounty program which I am more effectively able to exercise a greater degree of control over and make the terms more clear about upfront.

None of this is why a bad actor, it's just why it's a bad fit for my projects (and to be honest, many others). Why they're a "borderline bad actor" is what I said earlier:

>It was a pain in the ass to get them to remove my projects from their platform and then they only "sort of" did.

I could also clarify that BountySource is opt-out: by default they're accepting bounties for projects that did not agree to having a bounty program.
