On the following question there was a 150 rep bounty which was allocated to an answer after the bounty proposer had largely edited it.
This is an unusual course of action that I have never seen before so I'd like to ask if the procedure is in line with the site regulations or if a better and more transparent solution could have been adopted to avoid confusion between an existing answer and the reward of a bounty.
What do current rules and the spirit of the site suggest as an appropriate course of action in a case like this?
