    Referral badge?

    Okay, so I saw this http://sythe.org/showthread.php?p=9005911

    I already knew you could refer people and some people randomly put me down as their referrer so I have a few, plus like one person I may have told to join.


    Wouldn't it be cool to have a small badge or something next to the ranks for people who reach milestones? When someone reaches that amount of referrals it can quickly be checked by a moderator/admin and granted. It just seems like a way to reward someone for helping out the website.

    Throwing it out there

    It could easily be cheated, but it really depends on how you look at it. Maybe, you'd get somewhat of an achievement after every 100 referrals. After you get 100- A MOD could view if the IPS were the same.

    Support.

    Not sure of the rank suggestion, but it would be nice to see some sort of reward system implemented.

    I support this. We need a new rank for the community, especially one for all of the community. This really is a good idea, because it encourages people to join Sythe.

    I support the idea, it seems quite fair that there should be some kind of reward system for those out there helping the site grow.

    Win.

    Even though Aroxez is right, I still support. I might actually be motivated to advertise.

    An icon or rank would be really neat for a project like this. I'd be more than happy to be advertising if there was some sort of incentive like a rank!

    Support. :)

    It would be cool but if there was a rank involved I would see people using proxies to get more referrals for themselves.

    Sythe has done a good job of blocking a lot of proxies. There will always be ban evaders but I'm sure there would be some way of tracking them. For example making it difficult to get a referral. For example they have to complete a survey explaining how or when they were introduced to Sythe, etc.

    Doesn't necessarily have to be implemented as a rank. I support to some extent, it's a neat idea for those who wouldn't cheat it. Perhaps i worthy punishment for those who did to discourage such things?

    What type of system would be in place to stop people making random accounts and referring themselves?

    Seems kind of like rank whoring. Most people will find ways to get mass referrals leading to plenty of accounts being made that will never post. Also if it was implemented I would assume you would be banned for cheating, like self vouching.

    DNS list, and its not going to happen. Most people don't even have very many referrals.
