You can see other discussion concerning this in the mydealsandcoupons.com conga thread, including thehawk75's great summary of why jumping into a conga hurts those who try to follow the rules.
I saw a conga set up that way on another thread, which is why I did that. I put the referrals in order, so that the first person who added their link would get clicked on first, so they'd be done in order. I understand what you're saying, though about the person actually joining through a referral not being able to get THEIR credit.
My apologies.
