make every link to SN a referrer link

This is by far the best idea above all. I think this one alone is the correct approach, because referral links often feel invasive or even lame, while ek's idea is fair, organic and elegant. 10/10

Thanks for the nice words! blushes

referral links often feel invasive

Yes, I feel the same way. That's also why I don't like #5. Would make them even more invasive (even though one can opt-out via settings).

Sorry, I missed your answer!

I violently think SN should go with this option alone, it's the cleanest.

This will be part of any new referral system regardless of the system we choose.

Vehemently not violently

Vehemence vs violence

Nono, I specifically meant violently. To be more specific: I'm volunteering to kill whoever needs to be killed for this to happen. At least that's how I understood that web dev works.. no?
