My Days on the Dis are Numbered

I'm probably going to end up getting banned for starting a fight. But I couldn't help it!! I am so angry now that my blood pressure is through the roof. That poor site owner is going to end up getting all of those credits revoked at some point and could even risk getting their account cancelled. I really thought that we were doing a good job of walking people through how not to raise red flags with the merchants, but I guess I was wrong!!

No I read your response and I dont find that you were ugly or disrespectful to anyone. You stated your case in an intelligent manner and I doubt the powers that be at DIS will go after you for that.

I've been having issues with that poster the past 2 days. Anytime anyone asks a question about a reward program they have to throw in that new site and how much better it is at crediting offers, etc when it is not relavant to the thread at all! It just makes me mad. There is no way you can legitimately do 80 offers in one day and have 70 more pending. That is riduculous.

I feel for you tricia and I hate to see people over there promoting their ways to "screw" over the reward sites as long as they get their payment/prizes as this poster put in a pm to me last night.

I hope their credits get reversed on them. (is that too spiteful?)

Honestly if I didn't do 2 other sites regularly as well as this one I'd never go down to the rewards board. It was so much fun a month ago before it was taken over by these "newer" sites and "newer" posters. I think I'm going to limit what I say down there and not be as helpful as I use to though. Not worth my time or effort to only get argued with or lectured on how these things are ok to do, etc.

I don't think you were out of line at all. Honestly I think that what you said needed to be said. I really don't think that people who are new to GPT's realize that what they are doing (multiple sign ups in one day) is considered fraud. They may unintentionally be contributing to the problem without realizing it. Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of people who know how to work the system and do hop from reward site to reward site just for a quick buck.

I agree. What makes me mad is that there are enough people over there who know what the problem is but yet they keep jumping from site to site and do offers and quickly cancel. Basically do a site until they have their $500 or more and then move on. I know at some point they will get caught and banned or have credits reversed, etc so the karma truck will flatten them. I just hate how they so freely talk about it and steer the new posters in the wrong directions and to the wrong programs. I really feel like it does the new people a disservice but there is nothing to stop it.

Tricia,

As a Rewards site owner, you responded to that poster in a very professional manner.

They poster is only out to beat the system as their posts come right out and state it. Unfortunately as mentioned, it affects everyone. The advertisers are taking steps to close these loopholes. Hopefully it won't have an adverse effect on SR.

As people who know better, we can only hope to point new people in the right direction.


to you!
