What's a bot?

A bot is a piece of software that does things automatically for your (a robot), such as searching over and over for you, loading SBTV vids without you being there - it's basically a piece of software that enables you to cheat

I will now be doing games IF (BIG IF)they pay out ....to get my target.
They freakin tell you to "keep swagging....have a lovely day" then !!!!!! on you from a great height for trying to do just THAT & get by with their "how to chop an onion while in the Lotus position" TV.

One thing that I've just thought of - I wonder if they can detect if someone is running SBTV in one tab or window whilst doing other things on swagbucks at the same time, or if they can detect a pattern which would indicate that someone is not actually watching the vids (eg. doing other things and just clicking on the next vid when passing the computer).

Edit - this could lead them to think that someone is running a bot

There are some quite cute vids in Zoo TV when you watch SBTV from the tool bar. They're watchable if you like that sort of thing. Once.

If you're getting the captchas and not missing any, then I don't see how they can think that you are misusing SBTV. It wouldn't be so bad if someone in compliance would just say 'the reason is because we have noticed etc' and give a very specific reason. There are so many complaints about people being deactivated and they don't know why. Surely it would be in Swagbucks interest to tell people what they are doing wrong so that they can put it right and retain customers. It's almost like being guilty until you can prove innocence but you don't know what you are supposed to be guilty of

totally agree with you Paul

Yep.........I wasted about 10 emails to the lovely "Brittany" trying to get to the bottom of that. I'm NOT a high earner so I cannot fathom why I have a target on my back re SBTV. One simple question "why just some people & not others?" Could I get an answer ? Could I heck.:(. Just told everyone does captchas.....I said NO,THEY DON'T ! she says even she does them & they are quite fun ! HUH ? :doh:............ :wall:

.......then wished me happy swagging. Again.For the umpteenth time.:(

Precisely what I said to them....like over & over .Apparently we must have super bots. My bot does shopping & dishes & makes dinners & irons clothes. I call it "me". Idiots.
