I was thinking, if someone can get others to join this site, would it be possible for that person to become a premium member? That's just an example. Let's say the person is able to get 10 people to join, would it be able to get you membership as if you were paying?

nice

well, right now if you get somebody to join and they pay, you get membership for a month.

the problem with just referring 10 people to the site who DON'T become premium is that it is really hard to detect fake accounts...

Everyone that is a member of Chess.com gets equal treatment.  With the exception of stats, etc..  We are all living through tough times.  Those that can afford to pay usually do and those that can't afford to pay don't.  That's just the way it is.

Is the incentive from a person referred by you paying stacking? (two people pay, you get two months)
