Did my first reveal this afternoon. Really enjoyed it but I did feel a bit bad that I wasn't buying the item after all! Still, got another one tomorrow.

Tomorrow is at a shop I did for a different company two weeks ago (not a reveal). Hopefully it will be a different assistant.

Done 10 jobs today, for 5 different companies. Am really tired now, my brain hurts trying to remember all the details from the jobs! Wont do that again in a hurry!

No emails or phonecalls from Grassroots though. Only done one job for them so far....

I am a member of http://mshopper.5.forumer.com and Obviously I view this as the NUMBER 1 mystey shoppers board but being naturally curious I wanted to register with the other main forum site - MSUK. I finally managed to register, was a member for a few days - didn't write anything at all and was suspended and am now blocked from re-registering even though I have referrer's.

The forumer site is extrememly friendly to new members and I cannot understand why MSUK are so elitist and restrictive about who is special enough to be a member. From when I was a member there are numerous posts moaning about low fees and moaning about the forumer site has more alloctors than they do etc etc..

All I wanted to do was take a look over there and see if there were any interesting posts etc but apparently this is not allowed. I could understand it if I had posted abusive messages or something but I have done nothing like that - you just get kicked into touch without even a reason why...

I vote everyone boycotts MSUK and goes to a much friendlier forum site here instead http://mshopper.5.forumer.com

p.s. sorry for the rant!!

Hello darren21/dazza/kennedy999

The reason your account was removed is as stated above by globbits. We do not allow posts on MSUK to be copied and pasted onto forums without the express permission of the originating author. This was reported to us by a current member.

Your subseqent accounts were also denied because you failed to mention your previous one, despite the question on the form about this.

Concerning the comment you made about moaning about another forum - this is completely untrue. I believe one member made a reference to the number of company reps there but it was not debated, nor added to. It was simply a comment!

We have absolutely no problem with other MS forums and wish them luck, all of them. We do have a problem with copyright issues however.

Hope this clarifies!

I know both of the people who I put as referral's though as you don't ask for a name it kind of makes referral's difficult does it not? I would of emailed them first but their contact's are on my work email address.

I put I wasn't a previous member when signing up again because I was only a member for about 2 days and didn't think that counted. I thought maybe I wasn't even properly accepted as a member because I hadn't put a referral at all that time and was given no reason as to why I had been suspended.

I wasn't aware I had breached any terms and had only been a member a couple of days, surely an explanation could have been provided before being so rude?

Being unaware of Rules and T&C that you had explicitly indicated you had read and understood is something I cannot explain - what do you think they said? 'Knowing' referrers is not the same as actually being referred by them - ie the 'referrer' has to 'refer' you.

I'm aware that I've already clogged up this thread so I'm going to ask for my own posts to be removed as this is all off topic. Before I do I just wanted to post one more reply.

At the end of the day fair enough I may have done something wrong but from your posts all you are trying to do is bully me which is exactly why I was annoyed so posted here in the first place. If you had given a reason as to why I had been suspended I would not have re-applied using different username's. At the end of the day on the internet information is copied and forwarded on all the time that's just life, there was no need to behave in the way you did and it just highlights why I got annoyed in the first place.

p.s. if you want to be petty it's not all that hard to use different ip addresses and sign up again using someone else's name and email address, see you again soon

Who's bullying? Registering with multiple usernames is disallowed on most Boards and this is also in the Rules you indicated you had read. For reasons why, there is a 'contact Admin' link - one click does it. Copying/pasting unique posts by people, specifically intended for one Board, is copyright infringement, is illegal, and hosting sites - AND the Company Rep concerned - would take it very seriously IF reported. At the top of MSE here, you will see a bit about Copyright. It's not 'just life' - it's stealing, and - funnily enough - it's covered by UK and International Law, and is the same Law that protects Microsoft, the Record Industry and Stephen King's books. Hosting sites have their T&C's and these will prohibit them from 'illegal activity', and they will NOT HOST sites that steal other people's copyright, IF this is reported to them, as UK and International Law is clear on this. T&C of EVERY site can be found on their site pages, and MSE has its own T&C that make perfectly clear that permission needs to be sought before copying. http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p01_uk_copyright_law also outlines the severe penalties involved, so it's not 'free for all'. As for using different IP addresses, we look forward to seeing you again - but of course, reserve the right to report any abuse to your ISP. We also have a newsletter being formatted, which will go to all members and company reps (not just MSUK reps) which will explain what to look for, and to whom to report such issues.

Did my second 'reveal' today - I am getting to like them! I overheard the store manager asking the assistant if it went OK when I was leaving which did put a smile on my face - it seemed more rewarding than not revealing yourself!

How did everyone else get on with the reveals?

Just realised I have ignored postings above, not sure what is going on with those, sorry to be ignorant.....
