If you're going to convince him that a beta warning is going to make your users more friendly to the application in its current state, the folks at UX.SE will probably be better equipped to help make your case... or to convince you that you're wrong. Either way. Barring ethical issues, it's a UX issue. | |

Yet it's a software where a long and continuous usage is more valuable than a hundred short interactions. It consists of many steps where a user needs to work on (and fulfill to move to the next one), depending on a bunch of boring rules and actions from others. Definitely, no ethical issue. I'm just buying patience from the users. | |

| Jan 11, 2017 at 15:43 | comment | added | FrustratedWithFormsDesigner | Does your boss care about alienating potential customers? Maybe you if you can show financial reasons for him to care, then he will care. | |
| Jan 11, 2017 at 15:40 | comment | added | xlecoustillier | It definitely would. A blocked user that can't reach you is a lost user. | |
