Daily Survey Announcement

Kudos to sunshinemckenzie for a great, well thought out post! I have been thinking the same things myself.

While I'm sure there are always those who will try to cheat the system, the vast majority of us are here as I said before, for the cameraderie and to help earn a little extra toward Disney or what-have-you, and now we are banned for following what we thought were the rules, and for what have been the rules for a long time.

It seems like there is more to this situation than meets the eye to me too.

I'm going to try to do one each and evey day plus the SM and the other one...anything to help pull the wieght around here until everyone can start taking surveys again. I'm back on my dinosaur PC just to make sure I can get credit so tricia will get paid too.

I'm right there with you. I have no sympathy for someone who has 34 e-mail addresses (all fake) and is trying to cheat the system, but those of you who tried to do the right thing and are banned from GF - that's not right.

I have not worked too hard on surveys lately, but I will try extra hard until the rest of you can come back!

Wow, I just came back from vacation to find I am blocked and to read this sad news. I'll be upfront - we used three different emails and three different demographics (meaning age and sex) but that was because there are three different adults living here. We never lied or tried to trick anyone.

I thought I was playing within the rules of the game, and I feel terrible that I may have caused problems.

I'm so sorry you have to go through all this, Tricia! know I hae mutiple addresses, but to be honest, I have a hard time remembering if I even do a survey, let alone what it was about!

I hope they get of your back soon! This is still, and will always be, my favorite reward site of all time! Even if I never do another survey here, I'll still do all my shopping here.

I got one last night.

I'm a bit skeptical if I'll get credit, though, as it ended abruptly, right in the middle of what I thought was going to be the next page. I did get the congratulations screen so I'll just be on the watch for the credit. It was very weird though that when I pressed next it ended.

Reading all this, it does seems as if there should be checks in place to prevent this type of thing from happening. I hope they add them, as it does seem as this should be their responsibility to monitor. Interesting that they can't help or track if there is a problem with a survey, yet they were able to provide a list of those banned.

I'm still stunned at all that has happened. I was one of the ones that asked my DH and even my Mom to try doing a survey on the few days that she visited. They used their own addys. Barring any typos, that puts us at the "EVIL 3" addys. Now I wished I never bothered to ask them for help. Obviously, GF profited from the surveys we all finally qualified for. I can understand them punishing those that took blatant advantage, but to ban the rest of us is just soooo wrong. I would wish GF to go down in flames for not having better ways to monitor their own rules and taking care of problems as they presented themselves, but that might mean hurting the SR family. I really feel for Tricia and the other SR managers. What a HUGE headache this must all be for them. I hope we can all come out of this a better, more productive group - with or without GF (I won't be shedding any tears for them). To everyone else, all I can say is SO SORRY for all the trouble and HANG IN THERE! I refuse to give up on SR! They have brought me more sunshine in my day than I thought a website ever could! If I never earned a penny more, I would still be proud to be a member!!

Well, as much as I hate surveys, I decided to try and help since so many can not take them now. I have taken two in Jan. and 0 in Feb. using only my address but I think I am locked out as well because once or twice when my DD could not get a survey and I was at her house, I took one for her on her SR account using my address- or I tried but I think I got kicked out as usual - thus the reason I hate surveys and do not do them - anyway, I tried to get one today but it just rerouted me back to the members page so I must be banned for helping out DD so I won't be taking surveys either.

I know others have asked Tricia to post the banned lost. But maybe Tricia should post the list of those that are NOT banned. So those that can still take a survey can actually try to take a survey and help out SR. It seems the "good"

list must be pretty short.
