Referrals

Just had a look at my public profile which states i have 1 referral!

1. What are referrals given for?
   
2. Have i then been naughty? If so how do i find out what for?
   
   

I did do a search, but couldn't find any info but sorry if this is stated in nursery or something!

i just looked and i have two...
im sure i have never said anything bad, wtf!
can someone explain what they are?

From the FAQ:

Can I email a link to a friend?
Another useful email function is the ability to send a friend a link to a thread you think they may find interesting. Whenever you view a thread, you will find a link somewhere on the page which will allow you to send a brief message to anyone you like. Your referrer ID is added to the link you send, so if your friend registers on this forum as a result of viewing the link you sent to them, your referrals total will automatically be credited.

It's basically the number of people who have come here because of you.

It's a good thing.

Infractions on the other hand, are bad things.

But not to worry, no-one has those. I just ban people.

wow, thats good
how do you know that i have envited 2 people though?
wonders of technology....

Either they entered your username in the registration screen.

Or they followed a link in the "send to friend" email, and as above that includes your userid.
