Help needed with an SQL query to remove referrers

[moonclamp]

Hi,

I want to delete all the refers from a certain user. I've been using the referrer system on one account to track signups through my google advert. But this account now has so many referrals it looks wrong in the stats hack I've got installed.

Can anyone help me with simple query that can purge the refers for a particular user?

The referrer count is generated from a query in member.php:
"SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = $userinfo[userid]"

This suggests you need to delete the referrerid from the user table for all users referred by the member in question.

UPDATE user set referrerid=0 where referrerid=particular_user

That worked, thanks :)
