Swagging in 2013 - Part 1

Gonna be controversial here.....bear with me.
3/...in the past few weeks people have discussed BOTS & the use of such things.
Cue a deluge of our posters on here getting the email I got months ago saying they were flagged for unusual SBTV use. I think I counted 4 just the other day....in one day on our forum ? Loop hole closed through bullying tactics & threats of account closure for random swaggers who are innocent. Makes no matter if we aint got a baldy notion !!!!!! they are on about. "Fire enough bullets & you're sure to hit the target at some point & who cares about collateral damage", seems to be the tactic there.
What really annoys me is they never apologise or offer evidence. I was put "under review" a few days ago, and raised tickets to query it. Got an email today:
"Your account has been flagged by our Compliance systems for SBTV viewing irregularities. To keep your account in good standing, please refrain from using any unauthorized viewing methods.
Any pending prizes are now approved but your account will be monitored to make sure it is in compliance with our Terms of Service."
I asked them what me supposed irregularities were and got:
"Just make sure you are not using any unauthorized third-party software for SBTV or Search that you may have received from another site or person. All viewing of SBTV and all searches must be done manually with you in front of your computer actively engaged in what you are watching and searching."
So basically, they found no evidence of irregularities. No apology, just a further warning based on an empty supposition, I'm assuming because I run SBTV a lot (hardly surprising when I'm in front of a pc 18 hours a day).
So far this month I have received £70 AGV (some of that was claimed in december) and have a further £20 claimed but not received yet. So for the £90 I get, I'm assuming I've generate close on £200 revenue for SB. Considering we are the ones making them money, I think it would be more professional for them to explain, with evidence, what irregularities we are supposed to be guilty of.
Rant over, for the moment :mad:0 -
CRIKEY ZAK.......you did better than me. I politely (I am always polite believe it or not)asked for a reason & was told simply basically, for abuse of SBTV........happy swagging. And that was that. More like their carp TV abusing me with HOW TO CHOP AN ONION etc....DUH !
Yep.....we make a heck more money for them than we earn & yet get insulted with unproven accusations of being dis-honest. It really upset me ,me being newish to it all & totally innocent. Freakin cheek:(
Ah well.......I just hope people on here are a tad more circumspect regarding what they post openly. Offers etc ? by all means. For anything else I'd advise sharing via PMs with trusted members only. Like me:A..........:p
Ni-night zak,and don't sweat it mate. You can't win against their odds so best chill & go with the flow.........x0 -
