Referral Program - Only Link!, Why allow manual input? Options

[Sevillano13]

Hello from Spain (and the Spanish Server)!

I´ve sent emails to Nekki, but never get a reply. Maybe here I´ll have better luck.


I´m asking that Nekki remove the option to manually enter nicks as Referrals... only allowing the use of the private link.

New users, who share or will share IP, are putting those nicks, and soon after the veteran user is getting kicked for breaking a basic rule (FAQ 22 + 23).

No clue why they allow to manually enter the nicks, if we are all given "private links".

By giving out the private link only, then we are then 100% sure that the user is aware of his actions and getting kicked is 100% justified.

Please review and reply as soon as possible.

Hey Javier... Finally someone who answers...

What you mention is "fine", but being a Mod, you´ll probably be aware that the system keeps track of who is the Referral team, etc. If you share IP with that Referral, then that is ilegal, per FAQ #22 & 23. Technically, that account should be blocked.

Some people are not aware that someone has listed them as a Referral, someone who shares IP with them, such as a family member, schoolmate, coworker, etc. One day, they find their account blocked. Just because, one day, that person mentioned they play a game called 11x11, or someone who uses the same computer, saw that game in the pc history.

What I am getting at, is that with a private link, it is 100% sure that the person who is listed as a Referral, is 100% responsable for it. That if their account is blocked, it falls 100% on their shoulders.

Right now, accounts are blocked and they could have been prevented.

I´m a very active Mod in the Spain server.

I´ve also been a Mod (and Head-Mod) in other large games, such as Pcliga.com. Where in every game, there were only "private links for Referral".


Anyways.... I won´t lose hope that this gets changed... listing a Referral has a bonus to it. Someone won´t stop registering if they can´t list who Referred them. hehe

Take care! Hopefully, someone with higher powers, will reply. But my hope is quite low. -.-
