It tells me there are no surveys at this time, does that mean I am okay or is that the way they are stopping people? I hope there start to be surveys again. For the last week I only seem to get no surveys available!

Well, I must be one of the "flagged" ones. It won't allow me to take a survey. I used 2 emails, 1 with my demographics, and 1 with my husbands. Everytime. Maybe they are flagging the people who complained about the yogurt survey.......:angel:
I am probably a banned one too. I too am guilty for the things that I thought that were allowed and seems that a whole bunch of us are....and they were not intentional. I have had my DH and son take surveys for me under their demographics also. I guess I will sit back and take a break this month and see how things are in a few weeks. Seems to be a few sour lemons ruining the lemonade between this and the offers (ie..now waiting 30 days to re-try).
I don't take surveys very often but when I do, I alternate between two different email addresses. I just tested the system a bit ago and I was able to get one. Cindy tried and could not. But she has used a gmail address in the past month (without dots). So we are starting to suspect that they might be blocking everyone who has used a gmail address.
We're still waiting on the list from them of who was blocked, but I do think that if it says "if you are not XXXX, click here" and never gives you the check boxes, you have been temporarily blocked. :(
Thanks for the clarification Tricia. That really stinks though b/c I use a gmail address for mine and I have never moved the dot around. I use a yahoo address for my DH but I doubt that he can try for a survey now either?? :confused:Quote:

I'm confused. Should I try with the gmail address I primarily use for SR daily surveys or the email address I signed up for SR with? (I use that as my primary email and don't do surveys with it.) I don't want to cause even more trouble!
I'm out.
I don't have a g-mail either. I don't even know what a gmail is.
I guess I'm banned too, I have an AOL address that my husband uses for surveys and a gmail address (never changed the "." on the address) that I used to keep it straight (and to avoid either of us doing the same survey twice). This stinks, because neither of us ever changed our demographics to get a survey. If I couldn't get in, my husband would try under our aol address, if neither of us got in we chalked it up to a "no survey day". :( :confused:
I just tried my e-mail and my DH's and I'm getting the "No surveys available" page so I guess I'm blocked. We don't have gmail accounts but use Yahoo and AOL. Any idea of when those of us standing in the corner will be allowed to play with the other children again?
I guess I'm blocked too. I'm getting the 'no surveys' available. Makes me wish I hadn't given them all of the survey information in the past.:(
Don't think it's a gmail thing, cause I use a gmail email addy and I got into several this am..(although I didn't qualify for one)!Quote:

If the there are no surveys available for you at this time is blocking us I am upset. Sure I change my emails but I only take surveys at SR and I only did 11 last month and 0 the month before. I do not have a gmail account. They need to seriously work on their site.
Well, I guess I am one of the quilty ones also. I just went to the survey page - I entered the email that I signed up for SR with (which I have hardly ever used for surveys) and received the message no surveys available. Oh well I guess I will have to think about if I want to continue doing daily surveys. I guess it will all depend if DH is allowed to try or not. I guess time will tell.
I guess I'm also on GF "naughty" list... gmail, multiple e-mail addresses, others in the house doing surveys, were not violations of any rules as I understood them. But live and learn. :(
What burns me is that after slapping me on the wrist, when I click on the link the message is "There are no surveys at this point of time for which you qualify. We again thank you for your interest and time and hope to see you soon."
What?????????????? :confused:
don't panic :sunshine2:
I don't think they have many surveys in their system right now...
I think their system is still acting wierd...
I've tried (all with the same address :angel: ) 5 times so far...
2 took me to a blank page...
1 let me try to qualify for a survey, and then gave me an error page
now I'm getting no surveys available for you
Just because it says no surveys...doesn't mean you have been blocked... it could mean they don't have any surveys for you...

I also tried. At first it popped up with the yahoo address we've used for my husband to qualify. Then I changed it to the one I used to sign up for SR with my information.
I was able to get into one, but it just hung up.
Tried again about an hour later, and it told me to hit continue which when I did, it said I had to allow cookies. I thought they were already enabled, so I exited out as I couldn't get any future.
Now I get the no surveys available message.
Possible, but I doubt it. Only because I am getting the same screen to login that I had yesterday... no options to click except "if you're not so and so" click here" and "start survey". And I HAVE used multiple emails, allowed others in my household to take surveys, etc. so if they want to hold me accountable,well, OK. But what burns me is that all of these issues have been discussed and I think many, many of us are now being punished for something we thought was fine to do.Quote:

GF has to take at least SOME ownership for the problems they're having.
Now for the person who did 170 surveys in a month, I won't say find a hobby, I'd say find ANOTHER hobby!
Gonna throw a ball in here. I took none in January. I did like 10 in December. And I get the same thing. I personally think reading all this they are in trouble not us.

i guess i must be part of the "bad" list as i have not qualified for any GF surveys today and i have used 2 other email addresses of mine. if that makes me a bad person then i am truly sorry as that was not the intent. i do enjoy taking surveys and so do other members of my household so if you want to ban me for that - so be it. i will understand and not hold it against anyone.
I must be on the naughty list too. I've never used my gmail address but I have used 2 emails, 1 for me and one for DH.
Are we allowed to do the SM or the extra survey? I usually don't do them (one survey per day is enough for me) Should we just wait and hold off on all surveys for now?:confused:
That can be the only thing I am guilty of because I only shoot for 1 a day and I don't do any other surveys accept the ones here. :confused: No way can't I even get 30 in a month must less 170.:(
I must be on the bad list as well since I couldn't get 1 yesterday or today. There isn't even a list to quailify with. Just start survey. and then the Unfortunately there are no surveys that you quailify for try later message comes up.
Well honestly, I'm extremely irritated by all this. You can't give me guidelines, but you say I break them. You tell me to let my family take surveys, then get mad cause my demographics and email addy changes. My personal thought is some advertiser got all in arms about something and now its coming down on us.I don't think its fair, I don't think its right, but, they have us over a barrel, so, until we can get futher clarification, or they can fix their friggin system so it doesn't allow us cheaters in,we are relegated to just looking and listening for the go ahead and how we should be proceed. I know like me, all of you have given honest, clear answers to the best of our ability. What would we gain to lie? And, if perhaps we did the same survey by mistake, so be it. Its not like we can remember what we had for dinner last night let alone a survey we took 3 months ago. And, if our DH or some other family member took the same survey, so what, they answered their way, so in essence, they got another good survey from it. I could go on and on, but for the sake of SR and you guys having to read this, I'll quit here. As usual, I think you all get my drift.
:clap: Well said, Cindy! I totally agree!Quote:

I'm not sure if I'm one of the bad guys or not, I used the one email addy that I signed up with for SR and the one I used the majority of the time, it's not a gmail, yahoo, etc. It's from my provider but when I filled in my demographics it took me right to the there are no survey's available for you at this time.
So unless they really don't have any, then I am probably on the naugty list too, which is fine, I'm done trying to feel like I need to explain my actions when I was giving them honest answers and doing what we thought we were allowed to do.
I agree 100% totally with you Cindy!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :headache:Quote:

And after reading on the daily survey thread that the yogurt survey is still up and still burning people, I really don't feel too bad about being banned.
You know what I find funny. For some reason I care about a survey when really I took 11 last month and 0 the month before. I didn't care about surveys then so really it shouldn't bother me if I am banned. but it does. weird huh. :) I guess I like to know I can get that 80 cents if I want.
Ditto I was burned on that coffee co too.Quote:

:sunshine: :sunshine:
I guess I am on their list or should I say off their list as I cannot get a survey either. This happens alot to me. I thought it might have been my age thats why I started leting DH do surveys. Sorry if I helped mess this up.
I have just had it up to HERE with Greenfield and this whole situation. I'm not getting a survey today, so clearly I am also naughty. I have been guilty of using whatever e-mail address I felt like putting in, including g-mails with dots. I have also taken similar surveys, although, to me, they seemed different. Some people mentioned the car ones and I agree. The financial ones are another example. They all start out the same, but branch out into different banks/financial stuff/insurance companys. Some you have, some you don't.Quote:

I'll be happy to do the OTX surveys which I have very little problems with, the paid offers, and shopping (I love the shopping). But it will take a LOT of convincing to make me do another Greenfield survey.
I have a VERY stressful job, and I like to come to SR to relax and have fun. When it becomes stressful, then I might as well be at work. I just got off the phone with a patient who had a tumor excised yesterday at my surgical center and was scared out of his mind that it would turn up malignant. Interacting with people like this is what I do, so when I come to SR, I want to relax and enjoy myself.
All right, I'm off my soap box. Thank you Cindy for your realistic view about Greenfield. I'm not going to miss doing their surveys, that's for sure!
Oh well. I guess i've been a bad girl too, which I find hillarious since I think the best month I had with surveys was 20:rotfl: GF has got to have something better to do than bad those of us who aren't doing these things on purpose. I mean, really.
In any case, I HAVE used my gmail, but never with the dots. Oh well. From here on out (if i decide that I'm ever going to look at GF again), I'll use my email that I signed up for SR with (which by the way is the one telling me there are no surveys for me to complete).
They have a lot of stinking nerve, I'll say that.

The advertisers came down on them and they are passing the buck.
Cindy......you put into words the frustration we all feel. Greenfield has questioned our integrity when we were following the rules that they set. I was upset before and felt guilty and now I am MAD!!! :mad:
How DARE they???
Wish there was someone in that company right here I could slap upside the head. :computer:
