Diego Varen Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I was just wondering and I don't mean to be rude to this member or anyone else, but how did he/she get eleven referrals (Which is more than most members and almost as many referrals of the Mods) and he/she hasn't even posted at all since they joined LF. Can somebody answer this question please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Eh...what does that referral mean anyways? Could someone explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 BoardTracker is not a user, its some sort of an automated internet crawler. Its a search engine for forums, so whoever joins LF through this device will most likely enter "BoardTraker" as the Referrer. I think that pretty much sums it all up. @Ztalker: Whenever a user registers at LF, he/she is asked as to who referred this site to them. They have to enter the name of the user there. The specified user gets a Referral point. Check my thread in the Feedback section for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I believe it is one of those bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I believe it is one of those bots. It looks like it, but it seems to act like a normal member, looking at his Profile. The bot is looking at Threads, just like all of us do. And I want a referral even more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It is a bot, it goes through threads and indexes them in it's forum search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
