What if I make a bad referral?
« on: November 11, 2010, 09:45:15 pm »
Hey guys, so I just recently joined because of the amazing referral program. I read read a bunch of reviews and got mixed feelings. I figured the best way to see how legit the cashouts are would be to try it out myself!

Here's what really bothers me though; one of the reviews I read said:

"Things were going good and I was making a lot of money (mostly from referrals). I had about $120 and went to cashout.

The next day when I went to see if my cashout had passed, I couldn't sign because my account was banned. I received some lame email saying that one of my referrals made 2 accounts so my account was deleted. Instead of deleting my account and costing me hours of time and effort, I think it would have made sense to just delete my one referrals account. Oh well, I just won't be going back to this site again."

Is it true? If I make a couple of bad referrals who stupidly make multiple accounts despite my warnings, my account will get banned (instead of those referrals' accounts getting banned)? It really worries me because I make like 40 refs daily on my primary GPT site (not enough actives though) and I might be able to get like 10 daily refs for FusionCash. I don't want to wait a month only to find that I'm getting banned for something little like 20-30 bad referrals out of 200-300.

Hey I decided this is a technical question that would be best answered through a support ticket. I'm guessing it might against the rules to ask a question on the forum and open a support ticket at the same time for a faster answer.

If a mod is reading this and it's not allowed, please lock this topic. I'm really sorry, I'm new here and did not think out my actions all the way. Please don't ban me.  :notworthy:

EDIT: Oops, looks like this should've gone to the "support" section of the forums. Also, I should've edited my post instead of replying to it because now it may look like I'm trying to raise my post count.  :-[

Yikes, I totally didn't think about that, I hope the referrals I get aren't hackers and some type of evil person  :BangHead:

I was using the forum search and I found something that said "if a number of your referrals try to create multiple accounts, that speaks on behalf of your account". That gives me the impression that if the majority of my referrals are good, than I should be ok.

But suppose 10% of my 200-300 monthly referrals were bad and broke the rules despite my warnings. Would I get banned for that? It really worries me because I usually never contact my referrals and the newbies just naturally like to test their limits sometimes (which is really annoying for referrers like me).

I'm not sure about this. I didn't know your account could be banned for what your referrals do. All of my referrals are people who I don't even know except one. I would ask admin. about this.  ???

I would usually just try everything out and see how it goes without asking, but since I have to get $15 from offers, this is a really serious matter to me.

That is crazy that you get your account suspended because someone else is trying to make multaple accounts. Why would that be your fault. i would contact the admins and see what was goin on. You should not be held accountable for someone being dishonest.

In all honest the $15 is not very hard to get and you can obtain it doing the free stuff, not using a CC.  Or are you just not wanting to put any effort in until you know 100% you will be ok? :wave:

The $15 is a slight annoyance, but I guess the real issue is that I don't want to put my referring efforts into this site until I know it will be ok, so you're kinda right.  :wave:

Ah well, the longer I wait for an answer that might not even be true, the more time I'm wasting. I'll just do what I should've done from the start and go for it!  ;D

I don't see how it would be fair to ban our accounts due to bad referals...in that case we should have the ability to accept or deny referals who try to sign up under us...

That's a good question. I'm new and haven't referred anyone yet. I guess the reason they might ban someone because of a bad referral is they don't want us to just email random people to gain for ourselves. If I refer anyone, it will be someone I know and who will benefit from the site

Actually, I don't think they care if we refer people we don't know. The top referrers for any site usually makes big profits from referring a targeted audience, of which the referrers don't actually know. I think the reason they'd ban you is because the $1 per signup might not be affordable, which is why I'm afraid I'd get banned if I refer too many inactives, even if it's not stated in the rules.

I don't see how it would be fair to ban our accounts due to bad referals...in that case we should have the ability to accept or deny referals who try to sign up under us...

I agree, it wouldn't be fair but unfortunately the review doesn't lie (well it could be lying, but I'm gonna assume the guy was telling the truth).

Yes I would like to know this myself.  This is a very good question and something I would love to know.  I knew that if someone had an account and then opened another with another screen name and it had the same ip address then that is grounds for losing your account.  Thanks for asking this question.   :star:

So far, I've only gotten 13 referrals with 7 e-mail confirmations (none active) so I don't think I'd have any problems with "bad referrals" just yet, but once I hit somewhere around 100 or up, it could be a problem.
