    SBTV strikes again.

    How appallingly bad and incompetent can they get?

    It would teach Swagbucks a lesson if everyone boycotted SBTV but the problem is a lot of people rely on it for their earnings

    Ok this post is for Lost2 as well.

    Presuming you didn't abuse SBTV...

    Did you have capchas? Did you miss any?

    How much SBTV did you watch in a day? Did you reach the limit?

    Do you regularly move around, change IP addresses, move computers, anything else that could be marked as suspicious?

    A bit personal, but were you making a lot from SB? More than £25 a month seems to be the average on here.

    Did you have gift cards in your account instead of applying them to Amazon? (Not really applicable if you did PP.)

    I actually had a AGC fulfilled 15 minutes before my account was deactivated so I never got it.

    For me then pretty much yes to everything.

    I only missed a couple captchas (out of the hundreds they were making me do) my computers been playing up so froze on 90% a couple times.

    I do (did) sbtv daily. I work on a computer so maxing out isn't that hard but I didnt max out every day because of the warnings. Probs 3 days a week depending.

    I do sbtv at work and at home so use at least 2 IPs but for the last 2 weeks my internets been out (thanks BT) so I had to use any internet I could.

    I do earn over £25. I'm not sure exactly how much though. but considering all those people that were mentioning earning 1000+ in one day on SBs birthday, they can't really complain about my 200 or less.


    Really PO about the AGC. If I was home I might have gotten it (probably not though).


    Just hopeful the reactivate.

    It could be the different ISPs that have caused them to think you're using a bot. Email them and explain to them what has happened. Hope they reactivate you

    You need some kind of PTC site. Not sbtv, but ads are basically the same.

    The only problem is the amount of ads. SBTV was a way to earn constantly thoughout the day (and could be done at work easily). Ads you only get a few. I will try out a couple sites though.

    None of those questions I put are illegal BTW. But they could look suss I suppose. Email them and explain what you just said there. Maybe Lost2 could explain what she did to reactivate her account? :P

    And ziggycj ads are so much more tolerable when you are getting paid for them.

    THAT is what you get when SB think you are using a bot?!
