All awards will come with a forum badge that will display the award and date awarded in your postbit, giving you official bragging rights over normal members, or as you can call them, "normies."
1. Referrals cannot be mined by just creating dummy accounts with your username as the referrer. A custom algorithm will be used to determine the legitimacy of the newly registered user before its referral is counted towards a member, such as a minimum post count and IP checks. Seeing as how dummy accounts take up unnecessary amounts of database space, creating them to game the giveaway will be a punishable offense, so please refrain from doing so.
2. The Member of the Month user title will not be given out every month. It will be a rare and prestigious title reserved for members who put forth commendable efforts across a month which marks a special occasion for LG -- in this case, the first giveaway month and the revival of the site. Get it while it's available.
3. The community will be polled for which bots they liked. The value of the bot will equal the number of votes it receives. The member with the highest cumulative value for his or her bots receives the reward.
