The floor already blocked anyone who existed in InstantAdPay before the mission.
It did NOT ask who brought them. A member who joined off an email, a banner or
another site and only later wandered over to PolHunter still earned their
sponsor a bounty, which is the case Marty called out: "not just members that
come on board IAP and work their way over to POL Hunter."
The proof is InstantAdPay's own first-touch source, handed across signed in the
sign-in payload. A PolHunter share link stamps it polhunter.com from the URL
itself, so a stripped referrer (in-app browser, a link pasted into chat) does
not lose a genuine referral.
Fails closed, and only an explicit '0' can disable it: no origin on file pays
nobody, and a typo in the setting leaves the gate standing.
The board says the same thing the payout code does. Somebody who joined another
way now reads "joined InstantAdPay some other way, not through your link"
instead of sitting there looking like a bounty that never arrives.
Of the one hunter currently past the floor, linkmohd arrived direct, so under
the live rules they would have paid opgnetwerk a bounty PolHunter never earned.
That stops now.
