Hey,

I've done some searches, but the only answers i've seen don't make sense.

What does it mean when one of your refs goes black?

Freepay's explanation says "Joined, but offer not completed.
User did not join via referral link."

If they didn't join via referral link, why are they showing up under me?

Cause,they probably tried to join under you and when they were putting their info their pc or IE probably crashed and that messed it up for you since they were gonna sign-up under you...MY THEORY roll

Yeah, they came in from an ad (as opposed to a trade), so I can only speculate about how they went about signing up. Just curious.

Thanks!

The reason I have heard is that you reffered them through freepay/gratis email refferal systems but when they signed up they used the email you reffered but not your ref link

That is what happened to me a long time ago.

I didn't do that. I think they must have been referred via my donator link on this site's homepage yesterday, then somehow, something went wrong.

I don't need their green anyway, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't suspicious.
