[QUOTE=Cryptonic;579560]Yea, it would be difficult. So many people screw with referral system for anon accounts, smurfs, ect lol. Although, it's not like an award is so important that it really matters that we look into it so deeply.[/QUOTE]

Yeah... the referral system needs some work honestly and is prone to manipulation right now. Quality over quantity for sure, and the people actually need to stay vs. being used to up one's count. It's definitely something that we should incentivize, but we've had problems in the past with how to avoid loopholes in terms of whatever contest / prize is established. Obviously, there can be a bright line rule against referring one's own smurf, but it's not helpful if the referred person makes an account here, never to return, just so the referrer gets another point toward a prize or award.
