SteaknChop aka Butter aka Brendan White = scammer kid banned again

Thanks for your vigilance Leon, it is nice to know that there are moderators that follow up on these things and take the time to weed out the bad apples. I do know he is a member on Sports Card Forum and noticed a few posts of his but thankfully never completed a deal w/him. I will be in touch with that forum admin and see if what they do.

Yes, thanks for keeping this place clean. I asked a few questions in your other thread about new members, and was hoping someone could please help me out with this info (thanks in advance)...

If you click on a member's profile, you will find a "statistics" tab. Under that tab is a "general info" box which has a referral count.

How does a Net54 member get referrals, or how does a member leave a referral for another?

Are referrals a good, accurate way to find out if a potential seller is one you can trust (ie. could someone falsely pad their referral count in order to create a false sense of trust)?

Update: I contacted a moderator at SCF and they informed me that SteakNShop has also been banned there....

I can try to answer some of this. I just did some quick Google searches under Vbulletin and referrer, and there was days of reading. The nearest thing I can gather is that folks say who referred them upon registration and get a referrer point for the person that "registered" them. Here is a blurb on it...hope it helps....I/we didn't do anything, it just happens >

Ah, I see now. No wonder I couldn't find a button to leave a referral for someone. Thanks again.
