My 2cp on referrals.

1. There's a reason they don't exist anymore (since they did exist at some point). A, it was being abused, or B, the community is big enough so SS/TS doesn't need that kind of promotion to gain additional members.

2. Sure, having your friend on the site is cool too, but If I'm gonna be paying $100 for shipping to Canada, I'm gonna ask my friend whom I've referred if he/she wants anything from TS... to save on shipping. This stacks my account with points, which will lead to further discounts down the road should we both want to order again.

So having a bizillion accounts on the site serves no purpose since a group of friends can order off of one account. Only real purpose of an individual account is to socialize and share stories/knowledge/tips/photos etc.

Everything else is BONUS! for being an active participating member of TS.]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2011 11:29:51 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=1029134#1029134 Points for friends who become members : i can see tomeks a succesful troll... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=991560#991560 Author: andrethegiant

more than likely it wont happen. now if your friend buys 100$ goods then you get 1point/$10 seems alot more reasonable

It's too easy for people to create a new account so their main account could get the points, so they will never implement points for referrals.

If you know anyone not already on this site you'd be helping them out by referring them. Isn't that enough to just help your friends?

the points system is already abused, this would just be another easy way to pull one over on tru snow to try to earn free points

unlimited gmail accounts = unlimited "friends" = unlimited points

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. I had to log out to see it. So here I was, hoping for them to nix the point system or at least make it harder to get points and now it's even easier to get tons of points.

I can see even more review spam in addition to the post spam already here.

it is a good way to get more points by combining purchases with friends. However, if a referral system was to come in, to negate people just creating heaps of accounts that remain inactive, sierra can only reward points for those who join and then also make a purchase. But having said that, it basically renders my first point redundant. ]]> Sat, 28 Aug 2010 18:01:24 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=837596#837596 Points for friends who become members : sorry http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=827919#827919 Author: finny174

Just save your pennies and for every 10 bucks they give you a point. Really, its not a bad setup. Just use your friends gear and write alot of review about how you demoed the gear and your reviews on it :) And 10% off in addition to the sales price AND free snowboard give aways, arent really a bad combination at all for a website.]]> Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:06:08 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=815437#815437 Points for friends who become members : Originally posted by freestyleit06we... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=815203#815203 Author: Magulley

thank you for the wonderful contribution to this idea haha.

You shouldn't need a reason to refer your friends other than telling them about an awesome forum. The discounts for being an active member are a bonus just like the daily giveaway.

Hell I refered a friend to the site who was interested in trying to learn how to board and guess what. After about a week he won his first snowboard ever from the giveaway (jerk..). So i think that is a pretty sweet deal for me because now i have someone new to ride with me.

haha, i mean wouldn't we all want more points? but i think in this case the potential cons of a referral system outweigh the potential good. plus the coding and working of the system to prevent people from taking advantage of it isn't worth it. let's just take what we got and go with it.]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 15:40:30 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=815179#815179 Points for friends who become members : Originally posted by return2heaveni... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=775136#775136 Author: chunpunzee

it takes around 300 (about 10 months) of days of full forum posts to get to that 1500 excluding any purchases and reviews. So getting beyond 1500 to the next level takes like 2 years or more.

In light of this perspective, and acknowledging the fact that the point system caters to people with money (barely) and in fact caters the most to the people who were here before points became much harder to come by, some added methods of acquiring points other than spending cash or year(s)-long logins would make the possibility of reaching the higher levels look less... bleak.]]> Sat, 29 May 2010 22:22:46 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=757058#757058 Points for friends who become members : this same thing happens on youtube... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=757055#757055 Author: ianbejamin

I think referring friends is doing a service for your friends, but I don't think you should get any points for it.

Forgive me if I repeat anything..I didnt read the whole thread. I dont think they need to give points for friend referrals. The only thing I could think of that would be close is if friends buy items, then we could get points. Honestly at this point..(no pun intended), the points system has been driven into the ground. We dont need another way to get more points, to those that have been here for a long time, the points have become a PITA. It would be nice to see this community loosen up some where people could post at free will w/o being called point whores..and where the point whores could be weeded out. I agree, useless posts to gain points is annoying, but at the same time, threads and topics is what keeps forums going. Damn I went off topic LOL

. Ahem..no points for friends joining...its overkill...lol

Your exactly right as soon as i read thread that came to mine... It could work if you only got like 10 points once your friend earned 200 so it wouldnt be worth it to spammers

Potentially that could work as it's be a waste of time people trying to abuse the system, but with everything related to points there's a big percentage of pople constantly trying to abuse the system, 2 points (pun intended LOL

)

1. Listen to DC Domain (well this time anyway LOL

) you'll get a lot more out of Sierra by becoming an active, honest participating member than by being a points wh0re

2.What kind of person are you if you weren't going to tell your 'friends' about Sierra anyway? Confused

Agree, you can also spend a lot of money to gain points faster. The point system is it what it is. There is a giveaway for free boards and skis, discount for members, and receive free stuff.

Personally, I don't think it is necessary for receiving points for friends. Member points it similar to a loyalty program/frequent buyers, and I think what Sierra already has it great.

The points aren't there so that you get free stuff...the points are there to encourage people to actively participate in the online community. Don't forget you also get points with your purchases, so the more you spend, the faster you can acquire said free stuff!
There is a lot of good knowledge to be shared here (not to mention the ridiculously discounted gear), but if you only want free stuff consider that with the time invested in logins/forum posts/etc you could just get a job and buy some goggles and a shirt.

...and if you do get to 1500, by the time you get there, the points system could be gone again]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:40:57 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=715246#715246 Points for friends who become members : not a bad idea but sierra is pretty... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=715232#715232 Author: wengels

Sierra is plenty generous enough for points. I don't think this is necessary.

Yeah, referrals would have to be based off something like purchases. Say, get XX points for referring a member and they spend more than $200 or something.]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:29:33 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=715226#715226 Points for friends who become members : maybe receive referral points... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=714130#714130 Author: Putty

not sure if they ever did implement that, it used to just be email addy, not if they signed up.

correct me if I'm wrong though

Sierra use to give points when you refer a friend and they created an account. I think they did away with it about a year ago or so.]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 07:20:48 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=714116#714116 Points for friends who become members : Originally posted by xxa1z4n3xxi... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=714111#714111 Author: andrethegiant

Your exactly right as soon as i read thread that came to mine... It could work if you only got like 10 points once your friend earned 200 so it wouldnt be worth it to spammers]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 07:16:42 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=714111#714111 Points for friends who become members : i thought people would start making... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=713948#713948 Author: xxa1z4n3xx

Same, though since it's such a tight knit community they would probably be dishing out a shit load of rewards.

Would be nice if we were rewarded for promoting Sierrasnowboards to our friends. I have been telling all my friends about this site and a lot of them now shop with Sierra!! ]]> Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:05:25 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36165&PID=713480#713480
