added (bounty) tag; this might help to find past similar discussions if something like this is brought up on meta again

| Jan 15, 2017 at 9:10 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | Maybe I'm somehow naive here, but I though the answerer thinks there is still room for an improvement, and she wishes to see other points of view. Putting a bounty seems a perfectly fair way to do mantein the attention on a topic (that's bounty are made for). Btw, it is not uncommon that a question that raised wide attention (high score and dozens of comments), immediately loses any interest as soon as it receives a complete answer. People tend to like more questions than answers... | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 17:21 | comment | added | user9072 | @DavidWhite I would not assign much relevance to the user name at that time (indeed Scott Morrison's contribution on 'tea' rather suggests you are wrong); from the top of my head I could give you more than five names that person used as display name. (This is not meant negatively against the user, to the contrary this is one of my favorite MO colleagues; knowing nothing about them though just from their presence here.) [I might latter say something more on this subject.] | |

| Jun 28, 2013 at 16:45 | comment | added | David White | @BillJohnson, I don't actually know who she is, and her email address is not listed on her profile. I only know it's a she because her previous user name was Rebecca something (as can be seen from the comments on my linked question). Emil, I didn't realize there were three different places for meta style question. Any chance they'll be merged at some point? | |

| Jun 28, 2013 at 14:33 | comment | added | Bill Johnson | Why don't you ask her via email why she posted a bounty on your questions? | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 13:47 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | Note that you cannot award a bounty to yourself. If nothing else happens, the bounty points will simply be wasted, which is (per the tea discussion) F.J.’s intention: to dump her reputation. The bounties to Porton’s questions used a more elaborate scheme with the same purpose (set up a bounty, create a new account, post an answer to the question from the new account, award it the bounty, delete the account and the answer). | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 13:09 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | There is a discussion at tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/1622 . I guess I should have started it here rather than there, I’m not sure what is the intended topic separation between meta, tea, and chat. | |
