New Members/Referrals

[HeadRat]

Just to let people know, when you tell people to come to the site and join, tell them to use your log in name as the referral name. Several reasons for this.

1. if they try to use your real name, it will not match and they will not be able to register.

2. all members have a "reputation" that goes with their profile. There are different ways to raise and lower your reputation. Being the person that referred a member is one way to raise your reputation points. As you gain points you get things. Who doesn't like free stuff?

It has come to my attention that this issue needs to be pushed to the front. Not for the Reputation Points, but to make it clear that if someone signs on, they need to know your USERNAME.

Again, when they go to fill in the Referal's section of the registration, if they don't know your USERNAME and try to use your real name or even just your first name, it will not work. If you are using your real name AS your USERNAME, disreguard this message as it will be found.
