@leedsunited
The idea was to connect 4 parties
- The new users
- The person or service that referred them (most important connection)
- The whale who gave the user the gift of a free account
- The platform that made it all possible.
Perhaps @peakd did not at first do an amazing job at indicating the beneficiaries to people at the beginning we perhaps wrongly assumed they would check the beneficiary indicator while writing a post where they could change things. But it does now show them when they start a post.
Also we have always gave them a way to remove automated beneficiaries from their account and have recently made it easier for them to find this setting.
New users agreed to use a service (hiveonboard) that paid for their account in return asked for something that likely will NEVER pay back what hiveonboard facilitated at 1%. All the while never forcing it upon them (because that's not possible on blockchain) but we also gave them an interface to change it at will.
Also @peakd accepts that our relationship as a referrer to people who come to the site without another referrer hasn't been a perfect relationship... we provide a nice site for them of course but as a referrer we are hoping to help them more by providing a delegation system. But it's a lot of work and still not done.
@peakd where did you get the mandate to charge tax on new accounts or can anyone make decisions like this in decentralised social media?
Anyone with an ability to code and enough money to buy the biggest stake can do anything they like? Is that how it works?
Every single user who signed up, agreed to the terms of service with enabling the checkbox "I agree to the Terms of Service". If you disagree after the fact, that's your personal problem.
Again I would like to ask you to contribute in a constructive way and maybe make suggestions how to improve the referral system.
It says 'proposes' not 'will', it also says that you need to agree to this or no account and then in the final paragraph threatens the user if they dare to cancel the beneficiary.
It's disgusting. Seriously. You should be ashamed.
As for making suggestions. Pointless, like many here , you just want suggestions that reinforce you, not oppose you .
Downvotes? Lol...
I cannot onboard a friend even through a referral method it says out of tickets trying the signup.hive.io does the same thing to what is going on is the signup process over-utilised or broken or something?
the 3rd party system ran out of free-account tokens offered to them by large users. It happens from time to time.
