This is an OPEN forum and an OPEN topic

I object to the fact that members on here on talking about having a PM round robin system and thus making posts and information "secret"

This is NOT what the topic was set up for in the first place

It's my opinion but you don't want to hear it

members on here were talking about other ways apart from the round robin thing.

Hi Cally - I wondered what had happened to you. Hope you are OK.

Both Swagbucks and this thread have gone downhill a lot and it's everyone's prerogative to transfer their allegiance to other sites. I've hardly posted on this thread for some time and have done a bit more on FB trying to get issues sorted with Nick and Swagbucks US (and have been personally attacked by SB US on that FB thread as a result, as have one or two others). I would like to see this MSE thread revert to the fun place it used to be without any bickering or rudeness from anyone and I'm pleased to see that others are similarly minded. I don't think it's anyone's intention to move this thread away from what Fairyclicks originally intended it to be ie. an open thread for everyone to discuss the best way of earning swagbucks, and I believe that the idea of having some kind of open system in place to alert everyone to things that they can benefit from is truly in line with Fairyclick's original ideas. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that is why there is a discussion in place to thrash out the pro's and cons of what could and could not work - ultimately if noone thinks it will be practical then we can move on. Swagbucks has treated a lot of people badly in my opinion - I know you've been critical of them in the past, and rightly so (and I fully support that). Everything is loaded very heavily towards Swagbucks and people are now earning less and less. I think if there's any way that we as a group of people can redress that balance then it's a good thing. If we can't, then at least we can say 'we tried'.

It would be nice to have you back again posting as in the past, but I can appreciate why you've not felt able to do so.

thanks to thriftyfelicity for this, i have just found this on her thread:

"The High 5 Casino offer that is on the Swagbucks front page is also on the Matomy wall, available on Neobux and other sites, but worth a lot more:

Neobux: 27 to 45 cents (267 NeoCoins)
Swagbucks: 9 cents (6p, 10SB)"

i think the multi site thread is useful and should be used more deffo. plus felicity does clever things with spreadsheets which i am in awe of. i don't know about her gonad affiliation though.

What the heck are you going on about ?
FC might be a friend on facebook and that's it

Hasn't anyone just thought that .. maybe Swagbucks gets alerted to glitches because of the fact that suddenly a video gets a higher amount of views than normal .. so they check it out and realise for themselves that something is wrong so they pull the video

Cally,with all due respect ,SBs employ 7 or 8 employees to deal with customer services issues. That is 7 or 8 people to deal with ALL of SBs,which is atrocious , (just look how one Jewish holiday left a back log of more than a month of missing payouts),so I doubt they will put their hands in their pockets for staff to deal with technical issues or watch out for repeating vid watches. Every single issue that made us money & was mentioned on here was removed.
Repeating vids.
The phone app .Plus we Brits never DID get the one promised us.
Others I can't recall just now,but they got zapped asap when talked of openly....... if you were SBs would YOU not take full advantage of a gift horse thread that tells you when you are hemorrhaging precious pennies ? I would. This thread is the mother lode for SBs,and I'm all for making THEIR life as difficult as they make ours with non-crediting surveys & offers. It is common sense.Why should we keep feeding them info when they can't be a$$ed addressing our lost money ?
