WOW, this sounds like a lot of work, there are currently at least 3 open threads with coupon emails. I think those posts pointed to the Wiki that would help, but having someone constantly update the first message of a new thread with new emails would be a lot of work. It would be much better if everyone just put their email address into the Wiki at the bottom and removed it from the top when they get their referrals. This way the constantly changing list is always up to date and only in 1 place. Perhaps the first entry of the possible new thread could also point to the Wiki and those with new coupons could post saying they have added their email and post again, or edit their post, when they receive their 10 referrals.

I was thinking ONE open forum thread on the subject with a correct list (which is obviously going to require updating), which should be identical to the wiki list. I didn't realize there were several threads. The reason people start new threads is probably because they don't realize it's already being discussed somewhere.
I didn't realize there was a wiki on this when I posted here, and I read a lot of the thread. Reading the entire thread is asking a lot of someone just coming along not having read any of it. It's mostly "yeah, add me too".
So the idea is to organize the subject, keep an accurate list, and to also make sure anyone new to the thread/list understands how it's working. You're only going to really accomplish that in the first post of a thread (possibly even a sticky thread), and because of the fact it's a revolving list, it'll need updating.
Yes, someone would have to be willing to take on the responsibility. And a mod would have to lock the threads, with a post pointing to the relevent thread and wiki. Once it's straightened out, it'd just be a matter of checking and maintaining.
OH, and good idea about replacing email addresses with links to the wiki! Want to approach a mod and ask them to do it?
