A wee tip for those who use Clixsense and Swagbucks. You'll notice you get the same short videos on peanut labs on both sites. Usually if you watch them on Clixsense they won't work on swagbucks. What I do is watch them on Clixsense and then clear my history and switch my router off and on. You'll then be able to watch the videos on swagbucks.Pay-outs since 28/11/2013:

Telling people, however, that it is ok to LIE on surveys and to just click through as fast as possible without a care in the world, isn't classed as helping anyone.
Its classed as cheating and encouraging others to break rules and will eventually ruin it for others.
I haven't called anyone any "names".
A thread isn't really "friendly" if a couple of users are passing on BAD advice is it?
Do you think it would be acceptable for those users to go to the benefits board and post how to get more benefits by lying?
Is that "friendly"?
Lying to get extra benefits would be breaking the LAW. Nobody here is breaking any laws. Now, please drop the drama queen hysterics.
Nobody has been advised to lie. There is a difference between lying and 'tweaking the truth'.

Rogue, cheat and liar were the names you used.
As I said earlier, sharing codes on this thread and searching just to get swagbucks is also against the SB rules. That's all the codes posted and all the search wins posted are breaking rules. So most posts here are about breaking swagbucks rules!
YOU class it as cheating, and you want to impose your views on others because you have such a high opinion of yourself.
But as I also said earlier. You should read MSE newsletter. It's full of tips, tricks and loopholes. Things that level things out a little for ordinary people. So this thread is entirely in spirit of MSE.
So lighten up for gods sake.0 -
Actually sharing codes is now allowed.
There are no rules about sharing search wins as they're random - though it does appear that there are times when it's more likely.
Lying/tweaking personal data to earn points is against the rules, but as you say they don't seem to check up on it often. That said if survey companies find a lot of inaccurate or useless data coming from one source they will stop using that source which could cause swagbucks to lose the few survey companies they have.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Thank you. At least someone else seems to see my point of view.
The posters who post information on how to "tweak the truth", downright lie, add bots or otherwise circumvent the 'normality' of using the site, etc have been reported.0 -

What reported by whom??
QuackQuackOops think you need to chill out its not a job it's a hobby a way to earn a few gift cards.who cares.0 -
It would take a lot for Swagbucks to ban someone. I'm sure it happens but those who are banned will be few and far between. We are making them a lot of money.
I think the key is to be as consistent as possible with your personal details. The rest of your answers can be varied.Pay-outs since 28/11/2013:
