Fubarbarians...
Over the last few days we have been auditing referrals. Many of you are working hard to invite your "REAL" friends to the site and we appreciate it.
Unfortunately, there are always a few people who will abuse the system and take advantage of the extra points. Although it may be tempting, please do not set up fake accounts or use bogus email addresses or your points will be reset to ZERO. It doesn't matter how much you have invested into the site! Cheating is cheating and this has been our policy since day one! The best thing you can to is to protect your investment is to play fair and do not cheat. It's really quite simple. Cheating = Reset to 0. Playing fair =:)
It is not fair to the rest of the community who are working hard to legitimately refer good people to have to compete with cheaters. Please take the higher road and ONLY refer legitimate people. Also, please read the terms of service.
