For further clarification, then all players after November 23rd are subject to the new rule, and any income derived from new players COULD be witheld if it was so decided by VIP in the event that the player quota established by the new rule is not met?
Is that about the size of it?
If so, it’s not great, IMO, but it’s not unethical anymore either with the change you made. I offer appreciation for that.
I don’t see a problem for us personally, but I can see it affecting newcomers, or less active portals.
It will force some people to make an, “all or nothing” decision on whether or not to promote you, however,…. if you feel like you will save more on the new rule than what you will lose in new webmasters, or the promotion by smaller webmasters, then I suppose it makes sense for you.
That’s the only way I see this rule benefiting VIP.
I don’t think it’s a particularly good idea to chase off newcomers with that rule, but I’m not privy to the actual numbers you are working with either, so it’s hard to say.
