Question

just an idea. recommendation bucks.

FOR EXAMPLE
If I invite my friend/neighbor to openstudy, and he joins because of my recommendation. we get one owlbuck each. the only way you would get that owlbuck is through the email invite, only.

Answer 1

Yes :3

Answer 2

and it would only work for you and that friend. so then me and him have an owlbuck. until i recommend another person then i have 2 owlbucks and the invitee has one. its keeps going

Answer 3

OS would lose money without gaining any
good idea though

Answer 4

they earn money from this? a limit could be like 10 friends. because not everyone is going to join

They earn money for every new person that comes on here i think. @domebotnos great idea but people will try and invite fake people just to get OWlbucks. People can change there IP or something like that.

Answer 6

money for new users?
where does this money come from?

Answer 7

they would have to show proof of being active. like get a certain smart score before the actually get the owlbuck. like be on everyone day, answer questions, until the owlbuck is ready to be rewarded

Answer 8

Well that will make people dont do it b.c some people are lazy these days and plus its summer so yea. And you can still change IP and show proof

Answer 9

the main loophole would be the multiple accounts problem (as stated)
otherwise, I'm sure Preetha would love the idea ^_^

Answer 10

Yep

Answer 11

but we can eliminate the extra accounts on how frequent the are on. i don't know if you know what i mean. like 3 accounts per ip? i know people who have siblings like @sammixboo and i have a brother. they would have to be on frequently. if there is an odd/smelly thing going on then they could deduct the owlbuck.

Answer 12

It would be a little too much work in my opinion...mods are really busy as it is.

Answer 13

ah ok. i'm just supporting my idea xD

Answer 14

It's not a bad idea though.

Answer 15

one problem with this, what about poeple like me with 1.7 million email addresses? :P
There should be additional limitations, such as it has to be a unique IP that has not yet been on openstudy.

Answer 16

that has not yet been on openstudy and created a account*

Answer 17

people can change those. .-

Answer 18

Almost every single user has broken the TaC...

"register for more than one User account, register for a User account on behalf of an individual other than yourself, or register for a User account on behalf of any group or entity;"
