I would like to thank you GSpot for all your effort in regard to this hack. What an amazing job you have done working out the kinks and providing everyone with such great support and such a wonderful hack!!
Since you seem to be the expert on this board when it comes to "Referal" type hacks, I was just wondering if there is any way that this hack could be adapted to meet this request from
this thread?
Is there or can someone create a way for the following to happen?
A user(u1) refers two new users (u2)&(u3) to the site.
For every post that (u2) or (u3) makes, a tally(refered posts?) is given to (u1).
User (u2) refers user (u4).
For every post that user (u4) makes a tally is given to (u2) and (u1).
I would like this to be seperate from the users own post count.
The idea stems from a way to not only encourage users to refer new users, but refer quality users and continue to encourage them to be active members of the board. I see it like a pyramid scheme. User (u1) gets "points" for every post someone he refers makes. The tree continues down the line of referals. Damn, I wish I could explain it more clearly.
If possible, integration with a points system (uCash/uShop) would be great.
I think that it would be extremely useable and help a lot of forums out with gaining and retaining memberships and forum content.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Please bear in mind I am not a programer or coder, just a guy with an idea. Feel free to tell me it's impossible.
Thanks in advance!!
P.S. When this wins hack of the month, please mention me in your acceptance speech. J/K
