Hi daytonadragon,
As i was registering in for my first time in Repgeek, my request wasn't allowed until i use someone who referred me, so i want to apologize with you for using your tag name as a registered and i just want to inform you that I'm here only to learn, be polite to others and to follow all rep geek forum rules and perhaps one day, buy my first watch replica.
I hope this doesn't bother you.
Regards,

I did not include the name and RG ID of the new RG member.

Does someone who registers as a new RG member need to use the tag name of an existing RG member as a reference to become a member of RG? If that is true, how does a RG member like me become aware that a new RG member used my RG user tag name for a reference to join RG.
