So today... I removed no less than twenty-three links belonging to members who crossed the "inactivity policy line" from the Transcendent Innovations and Xpango referral banks alone. I felt I should post this and let all of you know, simply because of the staggering number of removals in one day. Many of you will be upset over having your links removed... and all I'll offer you is this:

We are serious about keeping those banks clean for the people who find the time to be here and contribute to the forums, and we will not give "fly-by-nighters" a second chance. Those banks need to be kept clean of dead members, so that the people who are actually here can benefit from them. If you can't find the time to post a simple "hello" in a ten-day period, you are one of those dead members, period!

If you log in in the next few days to find your links have been removed, please do not offer up any post-removal excuses or PM site staff to try and get them back in. If you were going to be absent for an extended period of time, you had every opportunity to post in the "Absent from TFX" forum ahead of time and let us know. If you do this, we take a note and deactivate your link for the time you are absent, re-activating it on your return. Much better than a permanent removal, yes?

If you are one of those permanently removed, you may complete a Fire Escape Entry option and have your links placed back in a Referral Bank.

And... a head's up to all of you who might still be in banks... just be here! Logging in and posting once every ten days is not tough!

This might be in part to the addition of the new FreebieJeebies banks, or perhaps people are really beginning to see the advantage of jumping into a one-ref cashout bank where they can constantly be paid out, over and over again, every time they receive a referral through the bank.

Whatever it is, it's a good thing! The banks work in a co-dependent manner. The more activity the banks see, the more advantageous it is for those people who are in them. What this means in plain English... is that the more people that decide to jump in and sign up through a bank, the more activity the banks see, and the more everyone begins to benefit from them. The cycle speeds up with every new sign-up.

Why would you want to join a referral bank, you ask? Think of it this way: Would you pass up a twenty-dollar bill lying on the sidewalk because you were hoping to find a fifty further down the road? Probably not, right? Would you even find the twenty if you never left your house and went out looking for it? The one-referral cashout banks pay-out to you every time you receive just one referral, and your link remains in them for as long as you are an active member on the TFX forums... ie as long as you want to stay in there! This means you sign up through one, someone else picks up a referral, and you begin to pick up referrals that pay out, one at a time, over and over as more people sign up... a pretty easy way to get paid for doing nothing!

Up until now the one-ref banks have been pretty overlooked, but just two days ago I received a referral through one myself, so let this pic be a lesson to all of you skeptics:




What did I pay for the referral? Nothing! It was completely free through the banks.

What will the user get for signing up under me through this bank? Their link is now in the RewardMouse referral bank too, so they will start getting these every time they get a referral through the bank too, just like me!

I'm telling you guys, I've been watching these banks for a long time, they speed up and slow down, but people always join. They join, get added, they get refs, they get paid.

Others join, and are removed. Why? Because they can't be bothered to make one lousy post in a ten-day period... these are the people that, personally, I like, and they're also the ones that you never see. They give the banks referrals, and then they go dead. Their link is removed due to inactivity, which leaves more space for the rest of us who are willing to be here and stay active! Believe me, we are strict, and for good reason... it is a huge benefit for those who join a bank and stick around to contribute to the community.

So, again... like everything else in freebies... what do you gain by doing nothing?

Nothing.

Grab a spot in a bank, guys! Why not? they're beginning to move again. Get in there on the ground floor, while the trend is on the rise and people are beginning to get referrals through them again. Give yourself the opportunity to get paid for doing nothing, just like I did up there!

Even a chance at something is better than never trying. ;) ]]> Sharkboy http://www.thefreebieexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10281
