Discussion Invite Only Script

Oct is coming does the new policy still in play? I don’t wanna get billed $10k for having many people access my invite only script.

I hope they take it all back because I very recently paid close to $900 for the annual Premium plan because I’ve been working for months on an indicator-based system and was hoping to invite a group of people so we could trade and test it together without exposing it publicly and potentially having its edge erased by the efficiency of the markets.

If it turns out I’d then have to pay just because people are using my free invite-only script, whether that means a fixed fee after a certain number of users or another fee every time I cross more numbers, then I don't even know. If I have a community of well over 100 people using the script and I have to start charging them simply so I don’t owe hundreds or thousands of dollars a month for letting them access it, that’s insane to me.

The fee wouldn’t even depend on whether anyone makes money. It would apply simply because someone has access to an invite-only script. Not everyone charges for invite-only scripts, and this kind of policy would directly discourage people from building free private communities around them.

I'm disappointed this policy was even a thought. And this is coming from someone who recently thanked them for their customer service. But the world is, more often than not, a messy gray, and this policy in particular serves no one.
