Those 'Hive police' are just people too. The community need to work with them to do what is best for Hive. They will lose out too if it doesn't do well. There is abuse to be dealt with, but it needs to be fair to those who just make mistakes. I just saw a case this week where a post by an apparent new user made a lot, but people did the research to find it was probably faked. The rewards got removed. We should welcome new people, but be vigilant for fraud. It helps if those who introduce someone can help verify them.
As for the rewards, we all stand to gain if we can help Hive grow. I'm earning every day anyway.
