Good decision.

I don't think it will stop the slop though 😔

nothing can stop it, but we can hopefully slow it down by removing a strong incentive

thanks for curl! ❤️

did the "bad faith" genre grow with the introduction of AI?

I understand why it needed to be done, but I am saddened that there were enough naive (bad?) actors slopmitting AI slop to the point that the bounties via HackerOne ended up unusuable.

Sad that it's come to this, but also an entirely understandable decision.

Canary in the coalmine – the whole apparatus of formal bug-bounty programs is surely doomed since it is an incentive to spam and the effort bar to produce plausible spam has been lowered so much

people misconceive big and important with wealthy... somehow the concept of what drives open source is just not understood by the simple minded moneyhunters... :(

I totally understand the move. When running web apps with bounties this has been an issue even before AI as there are so many things of little to no value one can report.

Anyway just saw you'll be at FOSDEM, looking forward to see you rant about sloppy security reporters in person ;)

the AI talk at #EuroBSDcon was hilarious, though. But I'm sure you'll always have something to talk about. Hope, this will calm BS submissions down a bit.
