"Minimum payout of $500" sounds like a very clear contract.

Once they have shadowbanned the author, IMO, any attempt at respectfulness is violated by bug bounty organizers.

Maybe there are things more rude than shadowban, but I'm not aware of such.

The minimum payout is subject to various conditions — for example, not being a duplicate. The author did not meet those conditions, and resorted to personal attacks instead of keeping things professional.

Uber has many, many problems as a company, but on this matter I can't say they're in the wrong.

Well, it doesn't seem like the last report was a duplicate.

The one they failed to recognize as XSS. If they paid for that one there would be no blog post and no name calling.
