Explain Justin needs to be contacted as trichoplax is no longer active
Oct 10, 2022 at 15:40 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @DialFrost I'm not active here since switching to Codidact so I won't often see messages, but generally you would add a comment on the relevant Meta answer here, to let the bounty offerer know why you are eligible and which question on Main they should post the bounty on. For this particular bounty, the answer is in my name and I probably won't see a comment so you should contact Justin using @ in this comment thread. I'll edit the answer to make clear to anyone claiming that they won't be able to contact me.
Oct 7, 2022 at 14:07 comment added DialFrost @trichoplax Quick question, how does one even get the 1000 rep if it's on meta?
Oct 4, 2022 at 15:28 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @Justin As I no longer participate here, I've edited myself and my bounty offer out of this answer. Hopefully I've done this in a way that leaves your intention for your own bounty intact, but I've made it community wiki so you can easily amend anything I've got wrong.

Oct 8, 2017 at 12:12 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @Challenger5 No I'm not making any assumptions. I'm simply offering an incentive. Maybe a consensus on what counts as a valid pop con will lead to more suitable challenges that get more upvotes, or maybe it won't. If someone can find a way that works, they will get both bounties. If someone can argue for banning pop cons and get sufficient support on meta, they will get my bounty.
Oct 8, 2017 at 5:00 comment added Esolanging Fruit @trichoplax I am seeing around 0-2 pop-cons posted every month for the past few months (including ones which were closed). Are you assuming that a good consensus would increase the rate at which pop-cons are created?
Oct 8, 2017 at 1:56 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @Challenger5 The meta answer can be posted on any meta question, possibly a new question. Obviously posting it on a relevant meta question will make it more likely to gather the required votes. From the answer: "The meta answer can be attached to a new meta question or an existing meta question."
Oct 8, 2017 at 1:55 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @Challenger5 The voting requirements on main were added to ensure that the proposal is effective, rather than simply popular on meta.
Oct 4, 2017 at 5:28 comment added Esolanging Fruit I don't think this is possible - not because the problem is unsolvable, but because I don't think it's reasonable to expect the voting restrictions. Why does it matter what the votes are on any popcons that follow our proposal?
Jul 26, 2017 at 20:52 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @Christopher I'm inclined to agree, but I'd love to see someone prove me wrong, and happy to give up the rep if they do
Jul 26, 2017 at 20:25 comment added user63187 I believe this is impossible. :P
Jul 2, 2017 at 23:54 comment added Justin Posting this to make a record of my decision. While I'd prefer a solution that didn't ban popcons, I do have to accept that banning them is a possible solution. I don't want to promise that I'd award the bounty if banning is the solution, but it's very likely that I will
Jul 2, 2017 at 17:15 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @Justin just to let you know I've edited to reflect this, but I'm fairly sure this has no effect on your bounty. Feel free to edit if it does.

Clarify that a ban will still earn 500 rep
Jul 2, 2017 at 17:06 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @EinkornEnchanter I edited out the mention of banning popcons because it isn't compatible with the requirement for 3 new popcons, which I agree is a better way of measuring it. I could add back in that meta consensus banning popcons will still earn my original 500 rep bounty, but I didn't give it much thought because I thought it very unlikely that such an answer would be able to gain the 90% support specified.
Jul 2, 2017 at 15:05 comment added Justin @EinkornEnchanter Dang I didn't think about that. While that's not the solution I want, it could be a solution. It's possible that we should special case that. OTOH, there have been a lot of popcons, which shows that people like them. It might be reasonable to not allow banning them as a solution unless the person also comes up with a similar challenge style which captures the "general feeling" of popcons (by community consensus ofc)
Jul 2, 2017 at 13:51 comment added Wheat Wizard Mod So if someone suggests banning pop-cons with community support that is now ineligible?

Add in Justin's bounty
Jul 2, 2017 at 8:10 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now That sounds like an excellent condition - it is indeed effectiveness rather than popularity that I wish to reward. I'd be happy to adjust my wording to include that. To make it precise I guess we could specify something like "N popularity contests posted after the date of the answer, each open with M net votes a month after posting each question".
Jul 2, 2017 at 8:01 comment added Justin I guess I want to reserve the right to delay the bounty until we see a few fixed popularity contests get reasonable reception. I really don't want to give out the bounty unless people can make good challenges from the new scheme (because otherwise it didn't work IMO)
Jul 2, 2017 at 7:52 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now @Justin I'd be interested to hear your terms. If they are similar enough, we can match our terms to each other and offer a combined bounty. If they are not, we can still offer two similarly themed bounties - either in separate answers here or in one answer with two descriptions. The advantage of a separate answer is that it makes it easy to ping the appropriate person to claim the bounty, but since you've commented here we should both be pingable on this answer now, so I don't mind either way.
Jul 2, 2017 at 0:12 comment added Justin I'd add another 1000 rep on top of this. My terms might be slightly different in determining if someone solves the problem, but overall it would be basically the same
