Nice banner!
Haha, thanks
Referrals used to be causing a bunch of spam lately, would recommend you remove it.
2) You should kill that referral program. It causes more damage (e.g. spammers spam your name everywhere) that it is worth it.
I am however strongly against spam. If you are publicly plugging my service in an unethical way that harms the forum (i.e spam), I have the right to withhold the payment. You should contact groups through DM or any other private or external method.
Thanks for the question, I have taken what I believe are the necessary precautions to make this system work without the previous issues of your referral system.
Edit: Haha when is it going to be Legendary Member w/ some forum trust
Hopefully soon. It annoys me that hero members in my campaign, with less activity than me, get legendary before me
