Yeah don't worry too much about that bounty board. 
Your unlikely to see any of them in open.

More succinctly: The bounty boards are useless.
its a sneaky way for ED to track gold farmers
Mode switching and instancing makes the BB pointless anyway.
It doesn't work anyway. I got a bounty in a system for days and it's higher than the rest yet I am not on the BB.
Pretty much. Players with bounties of, say, over Cr 100,000 should be forced into open, or shadowbanned if over 1 MCr.
Shadowban why? They're not cheating. Getting bounties is part of the game.
Yes, and a poorly implemented one if you can rack up 1 MCr, and not get nailed by an NPC Death Squad.
I'm usually a staunch defender of solo, but that kind of bounty hiding out is Bad Form.
Saw Cmdr Mystroop in his clipper once in open, in Anlave. A week ago maybe.
Interdicted him in my viper because there's no way I'm letting a 4mil bounty get away. He ran twice because y'know, #clipper.
Seriously, that clipper speed is ridiculous.
Third time he dropped my shields and I managed to get away-- or he let me get away.
Edit: Also why shadowban them? Then other players can't hunt them down.
Frankly if the high-bounties only play in solo or group they shouldn't be on the bounty board. Worse yet if they only do it to goldsell.

Then, dispense with a bounty board that players will never collect on.
Shadowbanned, what on earth for? And you realise you get bounties for killing NPCs too not just Cmdrs?
IIRC bounties expire after so many days.
The timer should only run in Open.

Not to be confused with me I hasten to add.
No relation whatsoever.
I'm exploring, but I intend to come back.
Bounty hunting like a few other things needs a bit of TLC (which Im sure FD are looking at).
But it would be nice if the bounty board only showed bounties for CMDRs who are currently online and not in solo.
BTW would be nice if NPCs or CMDRs could shoot trackers at ships if attacked but thats another story.

I'm totally opposed to any change which would differentiate open from solo (except for the obvious one, that you can meet other players and wing up and stuff), but i think the top bounties board should be more real time, showing where commanders are as they leave a footprint as it were... docking at stations, being scanned by a player or NPC. And it should only show those commanders who are currently in open.
I think its a good solution to make the bounty board actually useful.

Yes, I do realize killing NPC's gains you a bounty. As a dog, I get killed a lot.
The shadowbanning is getting a lot of flak. Reason I suggested it: Collecting bounties of that level, and not being able to be killed by NPC's, *or* players, is pretty close to the ***** word.
If you don't like the idea, and don't wan't players forced into unwanted modes (I agree), then the bounty board should be removed, as it is useless.

I like this idea.
