What's does referrel indicate in our user profiles?

[Dash]

I was checking my public profile and it has referrels:2. What is that?

I was curious too and did a search on the FAQ. Here's what I found:



The administrator may have enabled referrals, which allows you to be credited for any new users you invite to the forum.

You gain referrals by promoting RedFlagDeals.com Forums using your unique referral link. The link you should use as your referral link is this:

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/index.php?referrerid=3964

Each time someone follows this link to RedFlagDeals.com Forums and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one. The number of referrals you have can be viewed in your profile.

Your administrator will have more information on any prizes or rewards that may be given out for referrals. Please be courteous when promoting RedFlagDeals.com Forums by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals.
