Question no 1: Alright. Lets assume that there is a player who's playing a hunter. he finds a target which is bountied on bounty boards and shoots him. Rest regular. You are so tired of tragets who always tries to run while you are typing, so you just:
/l1
/l2
* pew pew if that's the case then traget is cruissing away.
Soon after blue messege you recieve // Q_Q in pm what a bad roleplayer and person you are. Now how you are reacting to this is your own buisness.
Anyway. Lets assume that after killing a target, character never ever posts a a confirmed kill on bounty board. Is that okey? For a hunter to hunt stuff and just shoot for the sake of shooting and avoiding all that boring paperwork if character doesn't want? Or it's some kind of abuse? If abuse, then how?
Question no 2: what's the point behind "Register on bounty boards" for BH NPC faction? Shouldn't they be trusted by lawfuls by canon of discovery? Shouldn't they have long lasting contracts? This register stuff actually makes BH npc faction less attractive and all sorts of codie sabre flying companies to win over npc BH faction.
I think there should be priorities given to BH's. Some sort of priviliges over merc ID? why? Becouse BH are restricted by canon, and merc id isn't.
1. It is sanctionable not to post bounty kill. And basically it's not that hard to post that bounty kill, if you're working alone you do it alone, if you're working for merc company, they can do it for you (if that is the system), but yeah...the goal is to get money inRP, so you should justify it with your posting.
2.BHG| on lawful contracts are pre-registered as I know, or at least Agmen registered them all long time ago, since I've noticed, you got to register bla bla unless you're part of BHG|, on another hand indie BHG players need to register well...cause system is like it is, you get technology in return of being only lawfuls hunter. When you're a merc and want to work for unlawfuls, you got to earn technology or use codenames.
And well...yeah BHG could get like valid indie registration as well (or something useful), cause it's right now more attractive to play a merc who can choose his own contracts.

What is the reasoning behind this? It's doesn't change anything except that bounty guy doesn't get paid. He still can't hunt unless the bounty is not on forums.

BHG|, and what about indi BH's? They should be thrown out trough bort? Left alone in the dark corner to rot? C'mon?!

There was once a time when BHG BCs roamed the server acting as global police. Do you see any kind of BH or Mercenary acting that way currently? That is because they must now claim a bounty or it is PvP abuse. No one is a global police officer. Now people are actually Bounty Hunters or Mercenaries.
Also I can't really tell what you're saying about indie BHG. There are a couple advantages to playing a BHG over a Merc:
1. It's hard to play a Merc and get permissions for everything
2. You have faction guns and equipment on the BHG
3. The Hammerhead is awesome
Really, for a casual player, playing a BHG is a lot easier. Not to mention that you can toast slower ships no problem in a Hammerhead. And then we can talk about big ships.
EDIT: Well I guess that's just one big reason. BHG actually have equipment at the cost of diplomacy while Mercs have diplomacy at the cost of equipment. Choose your poison.

Actually BHG caps are not roaming Sirius anymore is because they are not build to hunt for bounties, since they are core only ships.
But I find the current Hunting system ok.
not good or perfect neither bad.
I however still want bounties to be FLhooked.
But then there might be an issue of lots of people killing before typing and then getting auto-payed.
Bounty systems are just complex especially when there is a need to rp a bit in front of it.

Your first part is irrelevent. Well maybe that's my doing of bad english. To shoot stuff you must comply with same condition of bounty being posted on forums. The diffrence is, you just don't claim it in forums. Not "pew pew all red I see" as you commented in your post.We have blanket bounties. If I claim kill on board or if I don't it won't change anything to the target which is being hunted. How it is pvp abuse?
Sabre with codies is still being chosen over mantas. You can simply witness this in connie. Most connie pvp ships are codie sabres. Not bh mantas.
Freelancers and mercinaries has total freedom of their actions and they can from their own diplomacy. BH can't, they are restricted. Yet they need to register on boards just the same as mercinary freelancers which actually takes away that canon advatage while favoring the freelancer codie sabres.
What I'm suggesting:
*Blanekt bounties.. there shouldn't be some kind of "You are a bad person, becouse you haven't spent 15 or 20 mins for posting one kill on forums"
*All lawful bounties wouldn't require any register for any BHG ID characters.
Even now, the BHG has the possibility of being global police inRP. There is a bounty on...Pretty much everything everywhere. For some reason, though, you don't see it. It's because you need to actually claim bounties. It's too much work to be lazy this way. If it weren't PvP abuse to not claim bounties, then I guarantee you'd see Orcas and Bottlenoses roaming the Sirius saying "I protect trade throughout the colonies!" and shooting everything because they think they can. Quite frankly, this is not bounty hunting, since you are claiming no bounties, and it is not the role of Bounty Hunter or Mercenary.
And please note, I said Hammerhead. It's something of a well-kept secret. If you like ridiculously fast ships which can mount 4.00 Particles which have the same speed as Debs, then you'll like the Hammerhead. The Sabre is something of a gimmick ship. Flavor of the month, if you would, only of the mod version. Not everyone likes slow-firing shotgun ships. If more people tried the Hammerhead (or Manta for that matter), I think they'd like it better than a Sabre with 4 Heimdalls and 3 Debs. It's just not popular to fly anything other than a shotgun or code Sabre.
