The thing I don't like about referral contests is the person that used their friends Account number to make an account and used it once and never came back to the site is cheating in my opinion o.o

I voted for #4.<br /> <br /> Posting my reasons, but I don't know what I want done about it.<br /> <br /> I love bringing new people to sites I'm on. I also enjoy receiving perks from it.<br /> <br /> What I don't enjoy is when there is a referral contest on a site that already has issues with cheating from it, and that has 20k+ users already. I for one beleive referral contests should be used primarily when a game is starting up. I don't see a reason why ala would need a referral contest other than to just promote the use of joining and quitting. Most people don't stay on sites. All they do is click on a link and join because someone told them to, but they won't stay on for more than 2 days. Especially on an already large site like this. I know that as someone who is on rather a large number of sim games, that if there is more than 2k people, I'm a little bit more nervous to join, unless the game REALLY sticks out to me. Granted, not everyone is the same. <br /> <br /> I think that we should keep the referral system, but get rid of the contests C:

You're probably right, Ravette.I like MizzMalfoy's idea.

I voted #4 because I really like our referral system, but I don't like referral contests. Our system of receiving prizes after referred members play for a certain amount of days is a great way to encourage members who will play for a long time to join. <br /> <br /> Referral contests, on the other hand, are great for getting lots of members who won't play to join. This creates many new accounts that will just sit unused, taking up space. <br /> <br /> I suggest deleting referral contests all together, considering that members are already given enough compensation for referring long-lasting players.

I think it would be awesome if a reward were given to the players for new players signing up. I remember we had 10k teddy, but we never had any more after that D:

100 days is a little much. I was thinking of 10 days because thats when the welcome message thing turns off I believe ^^;.

I think that if you refer someone who logs on for 100 days (not neccessarily in a row) than you should get a point.
