I think you cover it all pritty well. But it's a beta and remember all the bugs we had at Tsu? Yes there were plenty. But after Tsu I was ready fore another Beta site, don't understand anything at the beginning, just like you, but now I know enough to "play the game", because always when there is money involved, there will be cheaters. "Live whit it, and hope for the best", thats my attitude to day :)
yes , i do remember the TSU bugs still have some screen shots :) and there will always be cheaters when money is involved , but creating awareness to the people that vote might help in the end.
Of Course, your post is really good, and there has to be more posts like this.
The problem is there's no avenue to suggest feature upgrades or even report bugs. You just have make random comments and posts around the various channels and hope that someone picks up on it.
