We had a few users from China deciding to create fake accounts (approx 8,000) to take advantage of the referral system to give TAG, so we deleted quite a few accounts that were connected to that. All of them came from 163.com or qq.com, all were coming from a few IPs, and all signed up within a few seconds of each other sequentially. If you were a user that did create an account in the last few days and were caught in that, please just create another account. Any accounts that were SMS verified were not deleted.
In the future, for the rewards to be given, the person registering will have to SMS verify their account or use a facebook login which does the same thing. Did they really think we would not spot this kind of thing..
