Sep 20, 2014 at 8:35 comment added user9072 Furtermore, yes, the usage of bug here is controversial. The general behavior that the system can decided on a bounty (taking 50% away) is clearly by design (there might be some bugs in the details but you question the general behavior). To tag something that is "by design" as bug is a clear misue (in this context). A feature you do not like is not a bug. If you want something that is "by design" changed, file a feature request. Tagging it bug is inapproriate.
Sep 20, 2014 at 8:31 comment added user9072 It is definitely because @FrançoisG.Dorais removed it. It was simply gone at the point when it would have been awarded and that was the point of his intervention. How in the world should it still have been awarded? Whether or not it would have been autoawarded, we cannot infer anything now.

Addendum after the bounty expired.

Sep 19, 2014 at 10:58 comment added Joseph O'Rourke Ridiculous that you had to remove your thoughtful answer because of a "bug" in the system!
