I'll see what I can do to improve this. These more annoying and unpopular measures are meant to try to stop multiple accounts, because I've already identified a few, but of course I can't punish the honest players because of the bad ones, so these first few days will involve a lot of feedback and adjustments for the better! I ask for your patience, and if you notice anything suspicious or strange, please let me know.

Oh got it. And what if you ask people to verify their account, 1 account per verified person, that way you can remove some of the rules for verified accounts.

For example, with this "Gift a wish item" task, we can gift multiple items per day between verified accounts, or maybe 1 item per account per day. And unverified accounts keep the 1 item per account per week restriction.

Oh, and you could also add a little emoji 🎁 next to the name of the person we already sent a gift, that way when we check the "Requests" page we can know who we’ve already given a gift to for that day/week.

The idea of verifying an account is good, but I don’t think it’ll work very well, because here on Hive you can create multiple accounts at a low cost—or even for free—and we don’t have anything that can identify a person, like an “ID” you need to provide or something like that, the way governments do. So, verifying someone with an ID or email address won’t really stop that many people, At least I don’t think it’ll work.

I’ll take a look at the emoji idea—I think it’s interesting! Thanks for these tips and suggestions!
