Possible Problem With Referrals? (in General)


Gender Bender April 25 2005 12:39 AM EDT

I play Hobowars and decided to put a thread on the message board bribing players to join CB2 for Hobo cash, long story short - I pasted my proper referral link, they actually did sign up and I didn't get credited for it. I definitely know they're not on the same IP because they're both from the US of A. Is something wrong or am I just missing something?!

Here are those who signed up:

Acadian
Pink Tee
Nykel

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you only get credit if they use your link; obviously neither acadian nor nykel actually did.

sorry but i just had the same problem with 2 of my friends joining and i did not get the referal bonus either sesshomaru50 and ssj5 gohan and they both said they used the link i gave them

They told me that they did use the link and another one just registered (with the link) and I didn't get credited for that either. :)

All those new users come with no referrer or referral info at all to CB.

It could help if you posted the link to the Hobo forum in here....

I also have not received the referral bonus from my friend Series signing up. I gave him the exact link and he used it.

Fuhgawz April 25 2005 2:27 PM EDT

maybe the referal program is broke

bartjan April 25 2005 2:36 PM EDT

The referral program is not broken...

http://cb2.carnageblender.com?specialoffer=5446 well this is the link i have been giving out so it should be giving me referal cash

Relic April 25 2005 2:44 PM EDT

My friend (Series) used the following link to signup with and I have not received anything in the way of referral bonus'. http://cb2.carnageblender.com?specialoffer=17994

Do you think it may have something to do with the fact that you are posting the link in a forum and not giving the link to them personally?

also the IP address on which the link is clicked has to be NOT used for cb in the past 6 months

Fuhgawz April 25 2005 6:43 PM EDT

i gave the link no forum was used it makes no sense

Nixon Jibfest April 25 2005 7:28 PM EDT

I'm gonna have to go with Shade's assessment re: IP.

Apparently, Pink Tee uses the same IP as several others. 152.163.100.10

Fuhgawz April 25 2005 7:36 PM EDT

that may be there problem but it doesnt solve mine

Jason Bourne April 26 2005 12:02 AM EDT

i have had the same problem too, ive given out the link but it hasnt given me back anything...

Let's try it again:

Please, don't just claim you have a problem with referrals; show us the evidence, so we can actually look at it...

second post from the top
:)

bartjan April 26 2005 2:30 AM EDT

Aaaaarrrrgggghhh. That link I already know. The link to the page on which that link is, that one I do not know....

Fuhgawz April 26 2005 8:27 AM EDT

I have no idea what this Hobo thing is but I just gave them my referal link directly

Gender Bender April 26 2005 5:10 PM EDT

I see what you're saying Bart but I actually deleted the post because I was not getting any money from the referrals. I will however copy-paste below exactly what I had in the post. :) Hope this helps!

Pretty simple, click the link below, and you can get the following:

1) 2,000$ just for registering! (takes about 1-2 minutes)

2) 5,000$ for fighting 300 times! (300 clicks, shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes more or less)

3) 150,000$ if you become a supporter (that'll cost you 10$ USD on the site or you can accumulate 1,000,000$ and let someone pay it for you in exchange for the cash)

Also, I'd be willing to trade Hobowars cash for any Carnage Blender money you make - rates can be discussed (i'm quite generous

As a bonus the next 10 people to do it get an extra 1,000$
