Just doing a DS now - hopefully I won't get kicked out half way through!

DS done, not far to the 90 target

Not boycotting, people can still use it but if they don't want the high targets then they need to start earning less. Everyone can still use it but if someone doesn't want a 200sb daily target then they are going to need to stop getting 200sb+ a day.

The system is based on averages, they higher someones average the higher the target. Newbies can complain about high targets but if they keep meeting them then what else can they expect?

While I understand where you are coming from on this statement, it does not explain why the new users are being given such a high target from day one when they have not earned anything to base an average on.

Is it day one for definite then? Cause this is what I would like to know, for a computerised system to work out an average all it needs is one day's worth of data - that might not seen fair to us humans but that's not how computers work.

I agree with you in principle Leo - I really do - but most newbies just see offers, do offers, and earn loads because that is what is initially available... many of them don't even post here so how can we tell them to reign it in?

This is a good point. I recall Scarlet was given a target of 120 sbs on her first day - correct me if I am wrong.

We can't tell people to reign it in but I was trying to say that actions speak louder than words. Yes, we could all complain on Facebook but sadly I don't think it will make a difference while people are still achieving the targets.

And why would it? - the more SBs we earn the more Swagbucks gets paid. If I was them and I saw a load of people complaining about high targets but at the same time everyone was still achieving them I know what I would do, and it wouldn't be to get rid of the high targets.

Exactly Leo. Personally, I know I complain about it a lot so sorry for being a broken record, but I am earning low lately just because surveys, tasks and offers pay better on other sites. I still like playing games and searching for gonads (story of my life) and I will continue to, but I'm not gonna stress about making 20sbs a day and £5 AGC a month. Pickings are better elsewhere and this idiocy only confirms that.
