What SebastianJu describes does not sound constructive to me, thats why I was wondering whether it actually happens that often or they just feel like it does.
I understand. However it is pretty obvious that he is not aware of just how much referral spam is being deleted daily. People who report often like you are more aware of this. Also there is always going to be a difference between referral left by newbies and older members due to the fact that a lot more people are watching newbies and can delete their posts.
