hi markos007, that the great idea. something like your bask number username 007. People doing something like this because they think that they like to be up in line or they dont want to be your downline or maybe they like other person that better than the person. They like to be downline in some person because they believe it and the person will help them and teach them.

Ya right, why to eliminate referal id while it makes no difference to you rather wasting another's profit. I never do this, also because the person should be rewarded for introducing me to the program,its good. To avoid this thing to be done by others I usually cover my ref id either with some redirecting service or a subdomain.

I sometimes do link cloaking with few characters of code.
As you say redirecting is not bad.Thanks for your answer.

I've had people do that to me. They take out my name from the referral code and then tell me that they signed up under me. When I email the site admin they tell me they signed up under no one.
Idiots. It upsets me and there is not reason for it. No excuses. Period. End of story.

I wouldn't change or eliminate a referral code. I don't really care if someone makes money off of my efforts, the only thing I concern myself with is the money I MAKE and helping any of my referrals make money. I don't do it because I don't want it done to me.
For those that do eliminate a referral code, I'd be concerned about the old saying..."what goes around, comes around".
But that's just me.

If some one sen a spam mail and if we are interested in program. There is no problem in removing their id.other wise its unfair to do so.
