    Yes, of course people switch routers on and off. I did not suggest for one minute that Swagbucks say you can't do that.

    What you can't do is click on an offer again once you have already done it, unless the details specifically say that the offer is available multiple times, which is rare. So telling people to turn their router on and off etc just so they can do certain offers again is against the rules.

    Here is a question asked in the rules quoted from Swagbucks.

    Can I apply for the same offer twice?

    No. Once you have completed the offer, you will not be able to complete the offer again.

    That is correct. Even if you wanted to complete the same offer twice on Swagbucks it wouldn't be possible.

    What I tend to do is complete the offer on Clixsense, and then complete the offer again on Swagbucks, therefore maximising my earnings, and breaking no rules. :)

    Swagbucks cannot control what you do on Clixsense and Clixsense can't control what you do on Swagbucks.

    Quite right! I can't stand aside though when complete tosh is being posted :cool:

    I didn't see any objection from you towards all the other people who have informed others that Puffin is not allowed?

    What makes you think it's "tosh"? It isn't.

    Why are you continuing to argue with people? Puffin browser is allowed for the 3rd time, i've already said 3 times also that you can only use the site for the country you are registered in.

    Stop posting stuff that isn't true and then starting arguments with other posters.

    Puffin is allowed, once again if you are on the swagbuck UK site you are not seeing any USA offers and therefore breaking no rules, what are you talking about?

    I agree puffin is ok IF you are on the UK site and walls, as it means you have altered puffins default settings.

    The problem is that by default, puffin uses it's own data compressed proxy server, and that is based in the USA and thus offer walls, and home page, present USA offers. One user here has already posted they do not see and amazon UK GC because of using it. Many people using it see the extra offers and don't change the browsers default settings and i have see people banned for doing that on SB and other GPT sites as it is basically fraud.

    If people are unsure if something is against the rules they should ask Nick on the facebook page or better, send in a support ticket.

    Here is NOT the place to argue about SB rules as it does not matter what we think, it only matters what SB thinks.

    I haven't posted anything that isn't true and am not arguing.

    You are the one who is stating something isn't true and is arguing against what I and other people have stated in an attempt to help others.

    Just a couple of days ago there was a conversation on here about Puffin and several people posted that it shouldn't be used.

    Their server bypasses a Java translated version of the site to your device via their own Proxy server and is therefore forbidden.

    If you want to carry on using it, that's great. But please don't tell others that it's fine to do so when it isn't.

    I've never seen any USA offers on mine, but that's besides the point i made which is the puffin browser is allowed and not against any rule.

    If people want to risk their account by doing USA offers that's a separate thing altogether.

    Anyway back to life, got the target of 45 from a search and encrave.

    Yes just like screenshots are not allowed, you are right and everyone else is wrong.

    Remember folks, sometimes it's better to ignore things than keep poking it with a stick.

    Ignore function = Click on users screen name, click public profile, click user lists, click add to ignore list, click yes. User ignored! Easy peasy. ;)
