58:06 Rosmari proposes the idea of creating a referral program to reward people who invite new members with respect tokens.

59:28 Hodlon likes the idea, suggests setting parameters around the referral program, such as awarding respect only if the invited member reaches a certain threshold of participation, to avoid incentivizing mere invitations without active engagement.

1:00:18 Tadas expresses caution about introducing additional ways to award respect outside the respect game, as it might create confusion. He is open to the idea of a separate referral system that acknowledges inviting members who become active contributors.

1:01:44 Hodlon adds a follow up to Tadas.

1:06:10 Jason explains how the current system can subjectively account for long-term contributions through the respect earned by education, recruiting members who become active contributors.

1:15:02 Rosmari likes the idea about making a poll, suggests setting parameters, such as a respect threshold for the invited member, after which the inviter can receive a multiplier of respect through community voting.
