    Just clicked on a video on the homepage and got the message 'you have been banned from Volume11'. To say that I'm furious is an understatement because I only access this Volume11 thing through Swagbucks and only with videos on the homepage as and when they appear. I've never been banned from anything in my life before and this has left a very nasty taste in my mouth with Swagbucks

    It looks like it's Volume11, not SB. Volume11 seem to not want people viewing their videos more than once, but on SB, a bug has allowed people to watch their videos multiple times, but instead of fixing the bug in their system, Volume11 is just banning people. I got the same message this morning, along with quite a few others.

    Oh thanks - I wondered if anyone else had received the same message and I thought that it may be due to a bug. So it all boils down to the fact that we have been banned through no fault of our own apart from unknowingly viewing a video more than once which Swagbucks have offered us. Usually if you've watched a video that you can only view once, you get an error message. Losing 1 or 2 swagbucks on the odd occasion doesn't bother me - it's the principal of the thing. Oh well, it's Volume11's loss

    Just sent this message on facebook to Swagbucks UK about the Volume11 banning -

    Nick - can you please get this sorted with Volume11. It appears that quite a few people have been banned by them because there was a bug in their system which they did not fix that allowed a video to be viewed more than once. I don't know which one it was but it seems that people must now make a note of which videos they watch in case they inadvertently click on one more than once. It appears that this is not the fault of swagbucks members and I believe that Swagbucks should contact Volume11 to get everyone's account with them reinstated as a result of their error

    Me too Paulshorse. I don't think I have misbehaved so it is a mystery as to why. They could at least say why, rather than just "you have been banned".

    Oh wow that's long. :eek: I've checked my e-mails, I haven't been sent anything so a bit confused. I e-mailed them also to ask but they haven't replied yet.

    I doubt they will, is there not another member of the household that needs to apply? ;)
