Points for friends who become members

Or maybe for those who accumulate a certain number of points...

And perhaps also block people from creating accounts from the same IP address?

i recon the get 10 points when ya mates reach 200 points is a good idea... could work really well if you ask me

The points for friends will never happen under current management, but who knows what will change with the new owners.

referrals would be pretty awesome cause i told a bunch of people about this place since i always get good deals, and i told people about this place when i won my snowboard on the giveaway

ive referred 3 people people...30 points? haha

Originally posted by RastaRider points are already easy enough to get, especially with the new system they added

New system?

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.

just be thankful for the new rewarrding point system that we just got... this would get out of hand and it would be too hard to create a guideline to regulate the amount of points a member can receive.

so true so how many points do you think you should get for referring friends?

If your friend is a douche though, you get negative points.

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

I joined this site while shopping for and doing research on new boards. I would not have joined if not for the point system and the community of like minded people. Helps me get my snow shred fix on days that I can't ride.

I really think this is one of the best snowboard websites out there and I have told many of my friends to jump into the community.

referral points would be dope...but I don't think it will happen...cause they already give us good benefits as it is...

I think that if you had a referral code to give to people it would be nice, and when they moved up in ranks you would get certain numbers of points (this would discourage abusers)

that would be so great but it dosent really matter, the whole point system is amazing so i always tell my friends, it would be cool for somthing like 10 points if you refer a friend and they reach 100 or whatever, either way thanks sierra, your awesome.

that would be nice but we get alot of stuff already

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.
