Affiliate Concerns and Questions

I have a few questions about invites vs. the affiliate link we can send out
If I send my affiliate link to someone, or post it publicly, and someone joins who breaks a ton of rules and gets banned, will my account be in jeopardy too? I know it says to only invite people you know and trust somewhere in the wiki/rules, so does this also apply to the affiliate link?
Do I get the bonus points right away or is there a waiting period to stop people form abusing it? Are there any other rules or things I should know before sending it to anyone? I don't know much about how it works besides the bonus point amount it gives.

You don't seem to have the minimum ratio to be a power user, thus you don't have access to being able to send out invites…
During periods of closed membership, as is the current site status, the affiliate program is non-operational, last time I checked.We would hold you only to very reasonable expectations, regarding your invited member… I don't think it's fair to assume you're going to know how outstanding and honorable a member your friend will prove to be, eh?
Main thing is that you don't use these tools to try and set up an extra account for yourself; that's very bad behavior, lol :police:
The point rewards are earned the moment the invited member actually registers.

Thanks for all the info! I didn't know affiliate didn't work during closed membership.

The site is currently in an intermediate state between 'Invitation only' and 'Open signup' where the affiliate referrer links do still work to signup and give the points.
Unfortunately there is no working display of that, even for us the moderators. :blownose:

So if I sent it to someone it would work? Or do I need to get my ratio back up to over 1.05?

Hi,
The invites can't be sent until you regain power user status by raising your ratio back to 1.05 or better.
As Popper has pointed out, the Affiliates program IS currently operational, and you can send an Affiliate Link to your friend, and earn 250 seed points, as soon as they register.
I apologize for my earlier misinformation, earlier, regarding the Affiliates program; it apparently is completely operational, at this point in time.
Take care,

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but it seemed more appropriate than starting a new one..
Am i right in saying/thinking that, at the moment, invites vs affiliate are the same? I have 4 invites I can use but am thinking it is just as easy to use the Affiliate link
