I got 3 people asking me to refer them to crowdforces via my expert account in past two weeks wanting to pay me money for that (one of my friends even got paid for that by one of ppl who wrote him). Also some of my friends told me that they also received that kind of messages.

How does it work? What's the point of them paying as much as 40$ for smb with blue account to refer them while there are probably some russian/indian kids/students ready to boost accounts for like 15$ or whatever?

if there is a userscript/something else to remove "standings" button while ur writing contest not to spend time checking if u are higher/lower than you friends? i didn't find anything in the google, my willpower is too low to ignore "standings" button.
