I have now issued this period's referrals. For the second time this year members with left over unused referrals have been allowed to carry them over to this period in addition to the new referrals issued, this won't happen often however or after the next review which is expected to be around the 2nd week in September.

Additional referrals have been issued as follows:

Users who have been a member for at least 90 days and have downloaded at least 100GB of data - 2 invites.
Power Users and Super Power Users - 3 invites if you've been a member for at least 90 days, otherwise 1 invite.
Elite, Super Elite and Uploaders - 4 invites if you've been a member for at least 90 days, otherwise 2 invites.

If you are/were in Kitty Litter at the time of writing and issue you won't have received any additional invites, but if your account is later promoted back into good standing and you would have been eligible for invites you can optionally apply to receive them at a later date by writing to the Staff Box titling your message, "KL invite application", but any such applications received after the 12th August will be automatically rejected.

The IRC #invites channel continues to be fully open for business where members are allowed to give away invites to others, it's up to yourselves exactly what criteria you ask for before issuing an invite, but as usual please invite responsibly.

Please note that once a referral code! is issued it only remains valid for up to 24 hours, if a code expires before being used it will be wasted. Invitees should be advised to avoid using hotmail, msn or outlook to signup as they often block our email responder and they may not receive their sign up confirmation email.

If your invitee doesn't receive their confirmation email, firstly please advise them to wait at least 15 minutes and also check their junk / spam folder as it commonly arrives there, if it's definitely not received the code can be used again to retry with a different email address within the 24 hour period.

Do NOT distribute your referral codes on known invite forums or trading sites of any kind. Invite giveaways are also prohibited on such sites.

The only invite giveaways that are allowed are those that are on other class restricted forums or those sanctioned by staff. Doing so will result in you losing your referral privileges indefinitely as well as possibly being disabled along with your invite tree. Please issue your referral codes responsibly.

Referrals are subject to change and maybe be reissued, changed or even withdrawn at the sole discretion of the staff at any time.
