Referrals

Referrals are used to give credit to another user or member of the community that has guided someone through registering for a forum account. Apart from being a requirement to obtain the Scout rank, they also show dedication and care towards the development of the community, which is useful for possible future promotion nominations. They can be input via manually typing in 3 characters of the referrer's name into the registration and selecting the user from a drop down menu, or simply by using a link found in the User Control Panel shown below.

The proper way to get referrals is to be nice and friendly, leading them to the site and following up with their registration making sure all processes go smoothly and correctly. It is also advisable that you help the person out with any questions, or direct them to a staff if you don't know how to answer it. It is also recommended that you keep these links away from the Discord General Chat and send the person a dm/pm, as it will feel more personal, and you can also see if they are a member fit for the community! Just make sure you take care of the person and make them feel as welcome as possible in the community! This in turn will help SmG become a fun and friendly community!
