It would lead to alot of double accounting and negative feedback not to mention it doesn't seem that useful anyways considering an Admin can check referals and awards someone for getting X amount of posts if he feel it nessesary.

You have no idea how long that takes. I've already done a referral contest, but I had to do it all manually. Whereas a system like this can check all of that for you. It can run IP checks to see if they just made a new account. It can force a user to post three times before it gives a point to the user who referred them. There's a lot of ways to make it legit. Just gotta think about it.

To say this hack is bad or not necessary is idiotic. Especially for those who are just opening a site. This hack would be the best hack on their site.

Great idea...

What can easily be done is the one 3.5.0 existing hack where if there is a referral the field isn't displayed so the registering user can't wipe out the referer (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98592).

On top of this a quick code in their User CP or something that just tells them how many referrals they've had and the URL to send people to in order to have them counted as a referal. Maybe have it go several levels deep for extra interesting statistics.

Add in the IP checker just to make sure that people aren't registering fake accounts to be a top referer.

Create a page that just lists users with high referal numbers.

Allow users to view who they've refered. On/Off option for this in admincp.

Ok, who wants to take care of this?

Nice idea indeed. I'll consider this hack when I upgrade my board to vB 3.5.

I really wish someone would make this. Me and a super mod were discussing something very similiar to this. I agree with everyone else here. Yes you can just as easily do it manually, check each referral. But its VERY time consuming. I would probably pay for a contest mod like this...

PLEASE. Someone code this.

i guess a "top 10 referers" list used in conjunction with the built in IP address tracking and the AE Detecter mod would achieve this?

Guys, this has already been done. I have had this on my site for many months. I run referral contests all the time. It is awesome!
