Remove Old Referred Members |
This setting determines how long referred members are saved before being purged. Referred members are those that have been invited to join your list using the referral tracking feature, but who have not joined the list. Removing referred members does not prevent them from joining the list later; however, it is likely that referred members are less likely to act on an invitation days or weeks after receiving it. This information should be kept as long as necessary for reporting purposes. |
