As duke said, things like the TOS is in the works.
The "weird" free join system is actually coming from weeks of testing, and this way is the best in free join conversion.
The email only join form is JUST for email verification. People that VERIFY their email actually join too (at least 98% do), we will NEVER actually use those email addresses unless they are used to join the site since this way our accounts have 100% clean emails.
Neither does the email only join form clutter our free join statistics and database with bad free joins. (So the REGs you see in your stats, are actually people that fully signed up!)
As per your second concern, of course once people enter their email address the affiliate code is stored in the db along with it and used later if it can nolonger be found in their session. Members are yours forever once they join.
Thanks for the feedback!
