| It's quite easy to vouch for another member, you have two options: * Use the command: `!vouch username` on IRC (You can also check users waiting for vouches with just `!vouch`, or check info about a user with `!signup username all`.) This option only works if you are connected to IRC from Triton. * Log in to the signup program (login as user signup, [[Info/Login]]). Then log with the signup account you used to sign up yourself, and use the option to vouch a new user in the menu. (If you lost your password for the signup account there is a recover-password functionality in the main menu.) |

Here you can also give '''negative vouches''' which will give -2 vouchpoints for a user if you don't think they deserves an account. |

How to vouch for new users
To get past step 4 in the signup process, a person trying to sign up has to get approved/vouched by two existing users. This page is intended for existing users who are about to vouch for a new user.
Before you vouch for someone, there are two things you have to make sure:
- Make sure they are going to stick around. Don't vouch for someone the first time you see them, but wait until the next day or so to see that they actually return.
- Try and make sure they are not a scriptkiddie or someone trying to hurt Blinkenshell. Don't vouch for someone who doesn't seem to be familiar with the rules or brags about his botnet etc.
All registered members will get one additional vouch token every night, up to a maximum of two vouch tokens. It takes one vouch token to vouch for a user. So if you save up two tokens, you can vouch two users at the same time. You can not vouch for the same user twice, two different users have to approve. You can not vouch someone in the first 24 hours after they create their signup account. Your username is logged when you vouch for someone, if you vouch for people that should not get vouched something bad will happen to your account... 
So how do you go about actually vouching someone?
It's quite easy to vouch for someone, you have two options:
Use the command: !vouch username on IRC (You can also check users waiting for vouches with just !vouch, or check info about a user with !signup username all.) This option only works if you are connected to IRC from Triton/Pallas.
Log in to the signup program (login as user signup, Info/Login). Then log with the signup account you used to sign up yourself, and use the option to vouch a new user in the menu. Here you can also give negative vouches which will give -2 vouchpoints for a user if you don't think they deserves an account.
Note: Remember that you have to specify the signup username of a user, not their IRC nickname (they might not always be the same!)
For this thing to go around smoothly, every user has to vouch for at least two new members, probably more. It's not very nice to hunt around for vouches and when you finally get your vouches and your account, you don't help new members to get vouches! Please help us by giving something back to the community.
Thanks for helping Blinkenshell grow!
