Daily Survey Announcement

[LuvMyBoys]

Ooh, I'll also own up to changing the income because 1) we both made more in 2007 than in prior years & also 2) sometimes I did change it to either my individual salary or our combined income simply out of frustration of not getting any surveys. My apologies.

As for memorizing surveys?! I just don't know how that's possible. If by putting in the same demographics/email each time is supposed to generate the same survey, how is THAT memorizing the survey? Going through a survey fast because you've done it before or just aren't giving it your honest time & opinion...ok, I'll give you that would be an example of not being honest, but again, memorizing?? What could you possibly be memorizing? I don't understand their reasoning behind that.

I'm wondering if they're suggesting that someone is savvy enough to figure out how to GET the same survey by changing something behind the scenes or forcing it to bring up, not the demographics page...and let's face it, technology is NOT my strong suit, so I wouldn't know where/how to do that. But to me, it's got to be more something along these lines than those of us using the gmail dot or more than one email address.

What's really going to be sad is when we finally all get the OK to do the surveys again & then we'll be double checking & questioning every little thing we do & making sure what we did is not fraudulant & obeying their rules (which I will of course).

For me, what will most likely happen is that I'll be too frustrated w/trying for surveys w/just my info so I'll probably stop doing them. Sad but true. DH always gets more surveys than I do. I do this site for fun, not frustration.

I agree. My DH gets a lot more surveys than I do so if he can't take them then I guess I won't be getting many surveys to worry about.

There is only so much frustration that I can put up with too for 80cents. If Greenfield can come up with clear rules and stop throwing around accusations of fraud, then I will likely keep trying for the surveys. But right now my feelings towards Greenfield are pretty soured by this whole thing (in addition to the yogurt survey ripoff anger!)

So - we are only allowed to try ONE email address, that is correct? That being the one with which we signed up for SR? And if this did not work for me I am to presume that I am one of the few out of thousands who was deemed naughty enough to be banned? That really makes my day - that and the snow and cold outside.
So, if we were one of the few banned, do we get to know what they specifically are blocking us each one for - when I am being disciplined for having done wrong, I like to know specifically what I am being disciplined for. Of course, this may not be possible and I understand that. But I just feel like a bad child who doesn't know exactly what offense she's been sent to her room for!
So now we just wait until they think they have it fixed so no one can 'cheat' the system, and then they'll deign to give a trial chance to the banned ones?
Sorry if I sound peeved - but I guess I sort of am. I did not set out to be fraudulent, I am NOT a cheater, but it must be what is thought of me.
Anyway, life goes on, and the sun is always shining behind the clouds.

Well I tried and it won't even give me options to check, does that me I am one of the bad ones, or just that there are no surveys for my demographics?

[fourfoxesinpa]

Well, no survey for me so that must mean I'm tagged. It's extremely insulting to be suspicious of fraudulent behavior when all I did was follow the suggestions/guidelines/rules posted within this forum.

I feel sorry for Tricia and Cindy that this ugly monster has reared its head and have nothing but for SR.

Having said that, I am very frustrated with GF if they don't realize that (1) a lot of people have more than 1 email address, (2) more than 1 person often uses the same computer and (3) demographics DO change. Some people have a monthly income that is dependent on commission - some people get bonuses...what do you do in those cases? Lie to keep the demographics the same or change the income to be honest and risk getting tagged for fraud? I only have an Associate Degree. That's not always a choice in the education section. So, sometimes I have to check "2 year degree," sometimes I have to check "college degree." They probably have a problem with that too. Oh well, until they figure out a way around these issues, I'd have to say I have no interest in doing a GF survey. I will not risk losing SR privileges. I have a lot better things to do than spend 40 minutes for a lousy 80 cents. If I was going to be fraudulent, it would have to be worth a lot more than that! (Not that I would be - you understand my point). Sorry to sound snarky, but look at that yogurt survey the other day. You can't tell me that we were all completing that in a suspicious manner. Yet, I'm sure that was one of the straws that broke this camel's back.

I have the same thing. It just says if I am not (email inserted) to click here. (Why the put that in, if you are not supposed to used different emails is beyond me!). It says I have no surveys to qualify for today. I am not sure if it was DH or me that had the last qualifications. How do we find that out? If we are not allowed to use the dots for gmail, how do I change my email again with a non gmail email....without being fraudulent again.

that was my question i was going to ask because i as well didnt get any options just the there are no daily surveys for you right now i admit my family have used 2 addresses to differentiate the people but i never thought i was doing anything fraudulent hopefully we will find out more details soon

[lrsellars]

I think I'm going to wait until the rules are defined before I try another GF survey. I don't want to do something (again) that isn't what they want. I did click over to the screen and there weren't any "check boxes" for qualifying so I'm probably not going to get the opportunity anyway.

OTX doesn't seem to have trouble keeping up with what they have already given us so I'll continue to do them as long as they are offered. They haven't complained to SR yet so I don't feel like I'm doing anything they aren't allowing. Also, it seems like I can qualify for more OTX surveys than with GF. If that continues, I won't have to ask DH to do any. He would really like that too. We work together every day so he's been asked more times than he would like to do a survey. Originally he liked them and sometimes he's still really interested in the products but he's not crazy about the variety of ways they ask you the questions. Like how do you "feel" about something.

I'm so sorry for all that you are going through with this, Tricia.

My DH and I have been taking surveys only through SR and we have changed up e-mail addresses. When I don't qualify for one, he tries. When he doesn't qualify for one, I try. I think my DH and I may have even taken the same survey a couple of times. (not during the same day) I am so sorry....I didn't know this was against the rules.

I hope everything gets straightened out soon. Again, I'm very sorry.

I am getting the samething!!!
Quess I am one of the bad ones even thoe I only use 1 email address and alot of time I get my husband to complete the surveys because he can get a survey most of the time and I can hardly ever get one ..

There was a car survey you had to pick what letter car you were interested in. This suvey came up for me more than once on my same email. I am sure and I was booted out I do not think I ever made it past the page where you picked the letter of the descricption of the car you wanted. I have even backed out of this one because I was sick of it coming up. I want to say this happened in December. Thats probably the only survey I remember because of the way the page was set up
