Topic: Best method for tracking member referrals?

[edcplanet]

What's the best method to track existing members and how many new members they get to join? I'm thinking about running a promotion to boost membership levels, but want to make sure this can be done.

I would use the referrals mod which can used to track about how many are referred by a specific user. The member would give out a referral link for a new user to join the forum.

Is this referral mod reliable? Any issues with members being able to "fake" referrals?

[vbgamer45]

A user could register multiple accounts from the same IP or if they go on other computers and create new users but there really is no way around the second part.

Is there a way to see a list of members and their total referrals?
