| Jun 15, 2011 at 7:17 | comment | added | sarnold | @David, you got me here. :) I have no pity for the answerer who submits an answer after the bounty has expired -- there is an excellent warning: This question has an open bounty worth +100 reputation from Rufinus ending in 5 minutes. If you think you can give a good answer in five minutes that would be worth a bounty, go for it. But don't cry if it takes you eight minutes to write it. :) If you see expires in five hours and start a one-hour answer only to find the bounty was awarded with 4:45 left, that's insulting. The fix is easy and would reduce stress on bounty givers, too! | |
| Jun 15, 2011 at 7:06 | comment | added | David | Not to blow my own horn or anything, but if someone posts at T-3 minutes, shouldn't the bounty period be extended a bit? Think of the poor soul who gets in a T+3 minutes (this just happened to a question of mine, by a couple of hours, today! I gave him an upvote, but...) | |
