Referrals on myLot - why it may be a long time before myLot starts a referral program again

Tweet

So most people know how referrals work...you refer someone to a website, and then you either get a flat fee for referring them or a percentage of what that person 'earns'. myLot used to have a good referral program where users were paid 25% of what their referral made. If your referral earned $20 in a month, they got $20, and you would get a $5 bonus, etc. People keep asking/wishing myLot would start a 'referral' program again, but if they do, it would likely be a 1 time payment for getting someone to join, and it would probably also be tied to them being active a certain amount. The old referral program will not work anymore because you don't earn for your own actions. For instance, if you got 25% of what I 'earned' each month, you wouldn't be getting it for what I (your referral) did, but for the interaction of people that are NOT your referral. And it wouldn't work to pay a bonus just because someone 'joined' because you could have 100 people 'join' through accounts you 'faked' just to get a referral bonus for them joining. I'm pretty sure if they ever start referrals again, it will be a one-time bonus for the person that referred them, and it will be contingent upon that person posting a certain amount of discussions/responses/comments (activity). So don't hold your breath waiting...while myLot has stated they are 'strongly considering it (the referral program) for the future' it is a long time away. Just to make a point...
