AUTOMATIC REFERRAL & CONTRIBUTION RECOGNITION

What I need: Automatic tracking of referrals and feature contributions without requiring the user to manually claim recognition.

Why it matters: Requiring users to manually claim recognition for referrals or implemented ideas defeats the purpose of an ambassador or affiliate program. Automatic tracking creates a self-reinforcing loop of platform evangelism.

Suggested implementation: Automatic affiliate link tracking with real-time dashboard. Feature request portal tied to the user's account — when a submitted feature is implemented, the contributing user receives automatic notification, early access, or account credit.
