Yea one thing I like about HIVE is we can basically create our own onboarding experience. Anyone can do it and should be encouraged to also if they are passionate about doing it for the right reasons.
I don't really like paid onboarding through the DHF or Reward Pool though. It obscures if people are doing it for the right reasons.
A few pointers regarding Hive etiquette would really help you guys countering abuse.
I think this would be a really good idea. I think a lot of new users that start to get greedy think they are trying something new when they try to farm the reward pool and don't really realize that people here have seen every trick in the book by now.
I think you're right.
