I have a sneaking suspicion that I have a personalized hater who wants to be known to everybody.  so lets make that happen right now.  the issue is simple – they wrote me a note, which is shown below, copied and pasted here with the url so that you know who it is and what they’re intentions are.

cek again and tell me..?

This BLOG Has a REDIRECT SCRIPT WHICH CONTAINS A TROJAN. DO NOT GO TO THIS PAGE UNLESS YOU HAVE PROPER VIRUS MANAGEMENT

The Facts Are Simple :

• First Off I’ve NEVER WRITTEN THIS USER.
• Secondly I Don’t Know Who They Are
• I Had NEVER Visited This Blog before they left this note
• and this one hit was enough to make me aware of their VIRUS and BAIT Status.

They’re as Hot as Teenage Ninja Turtles

Ask Solomonsydelle – she was hit by their trojan and had to spend several hours working on getting to the root of the problem, before she was able to use her laptop – after getting hit with the newest trojan.

if you go to this page – please heed my warnings, and wear extra virus protection;  because the script will immediately redirect your browser and then attempt to activate a backside exploit. luckily my virus protection caught it and also made a log of it’s actions. this is why I felt it was imperative to Let You ALL KNOW What’s Lurking Out there in the blog game tonite.

remember do not go to this page without strong virus protection and be aware that it will attempt to redirect you to a partner site immediately. This Is Not A HOAX – This is a TROJAN WARNING.

If You Need A Clean Up -  Download and Run Malwarebytes

Tonite I saw that Entrecard Has Deleted Them. so hopefully they’ll only effect The Ghost Droppers… yessssssss, such a delight to even imagine that.

Have you ever been put in a position that meant you had to act or be Spanked ?

on the real tip, that’s some raw ass ish. and to be honest it put us through a lil bit of a quandry on how to deal with it. but thankfully our good ole’ conscious kicked in and it was on like a light. on the 13th of Feb 2010; we removed our entrecard widget from two of our blogs. we left just this  single blog in entrecard to measure the networking effectiveness. it’s just our unscientific way of being sure that it’s worth keeping that widget on the real estate. you know how it is. big ole’ blog panties cost money..

we were threatened with blackmail –

Maybe 2-3 months ago. You put a blog post about it on your website. It was a way to get drop credits by bookmarking frames and dropping only on the frame. I suppose that is how it’s being done, though since your website was the one to advertise the method, you might want to think about whether you should now “report” people who are doing what you posted about.

LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES, I AM SO TIRED OF THESE LIES

Today is Fitness Friday and we are giving you something to think about if you are members of Entrecard -

The Fitness of Entrecard to Be On Your Blog.

Wowww, when members get cracked and hacked and report it and the blogs url’s;  there is no response from Entrecard.  NONE What So Ever.

so that we respond in 24 hrs is a bunch of  “she said”

Somehow it seems Entrecard Does Not Want OUR Drops – so with that said, we’re going to begin the exit process.  we hope that you understand why we’ll be pulling TWO of Our Blogs OUT Of Entrecard Before Christmas.

The Consistent Loss of drops and credits does not add up. neither does the lost time. the problem happens over and over.  randomly during the week we get these penalties and loose the drop day as well.

is this a new power move within the Entrecard Enforcement Strategy when you decide to monitor your paid ads ?

Ahhhhh YES ! Now We Know why this happened – we went into our dashboard and managed the invisible load of ads there were blocking the EC Paid Ads from showing on our widget. Think Back EC Bloggers, Did You Get an Announcement of Any Additional Ads Being Put onto Your Widget, or that you could Preview Them ?

When We Opened the Dashboard to look at the ads, There were 8 paid ads. you are only allowed to block 4 of them.  that means if you are paying for ads with EC’s;  you will be paying for very minimal visibility. At most you’ll get 1/5 of your ec paid impressions; because they are merged with the CASH ADS, NOW.

go test it for yourself and then you can see that this is not a game, nor is this a hoax. Entrecard has put up to 8 additional cards on your widget without your knowledge or the consideration of those who pay for EC Ads with EC’s Instead of Cash.

That’s What Made the Decision for Us Today – 9 ads on our widgets when we should have only been splitting the widget with two others

at first we missed it, but when we went back and noticed that we had such a glut of paid ads, blocking the EC Drop Paid Ad; we made the change and blocked out all except the required Four Ads.

In Case You Haven’t Noticed, some of the same ads were already preventing your EC Paid ads from being shown on widgets that were queued. to test it we refreshed the page up to 6 times to finally see Our EC Paid Ad, Last.

That Sucks

FYI This is a WHOLE NEW PENALTY FLAG

Check out the chart below copied directly from Entrecard’s Book

This Flag Does Not Appear Anywhere, in this list – but it cost us Again,

This is the First of these Penalties – from Two Weeks Ago -

we have alot of credits to spend on ads; and within the next month we’re going to be spending them and advertising even more than before – if we’re not removed before we can.

It seems like such a sorry strategy to block your biggest droppers from dropping, because they are technologically faster than you.  simply put, we use a drop list and we have always used the same list.

the entrecard servers hate drop lists because they can’t track you when you skip their toolbar.  that means you are a wild card to the system until you reach your dashboard, and reach 300 drops.  the system will ignore your drops in the toolbar, and that pisses the servers and apparently the security server scripts off.

Being a Good Blogger means more than dropping, which is why you find our comments all over the place; our notes on peoples dashboards, and lots of interaction within our circle.  we dont’ feel very confident with the rules in the present entrecard rulebook;  since it seems to grow weekly, without notice or need.  sort of like the new penalty flag’s.

Maybe it’s really time to look at what your time is worth, since apparently Entrecard doesn’t think it’s worth the time you spend clicking to Advertise.

Next Week we’ll be exploring Blogging Circles and Advertising Effectiveness; across our Three Blogs.  some posts will help to clarify the situation, since it seems to become muddier all the time.  Entrecard needs to mature and accept that Rules are Rules.  Basically,  if we have to live by them, then they shouldn’t change them daily, to support their point without consideration of their community.

That’s Just Too Much like Voodoo Jello to be good for anybody,

Check out the chart below copied directly from Entrecard’s Book

This New Penalty Flag Does Not Appear Anywhere, in this list – but it cost us Again,

Message	Meaning
Get One, Please login	These messages are shown when Entrecard believes that you haven’t logged in. Please go to entrecard.com and log in.
Thanks!	This message is shown when you have successfully dropped a card.
Go! Go!, Alright!, Wicked!, Yeehah!, Awesome!, *WOW*!	These messages are equivalent to Thanks!, they are shown at various numbers of drops per day.
Invalid	This message is shown when you have failed a security check, this can happen by accident once in a while, however if this happens to you regularly you should contact support.
300 per day	This message is what you get when you hit the 300 drops per day limit
600 per IP	This message is what you get when the IP address you are accessing from has dropped 600 cards in a day
Own card!	This is what you get when you try and drop on your own card
No Widget	This message indicates the Entrecard widget scanner does not believe this site has a widget. If you get this error while browsing, please send the URL of the site to phirate via PM.
No such user / Deleted	This message indicates the Entrecard account for this widget has been deleted
Cooldown X hrs	This message indicates that you have triggered security countermeasures. You will not be allowed to drop a card again until the cooldown period has finished (the counter will continue to update). If you have not done anything that should have gained the attention of the security system, please use the feedback form on your Dashboard and we will arrange a security reset. It is likely that you also received a Scripted Drop Penalty which removed credit from your account, this can be resolved as well.

I’d suggest you pay close attention to this video, as you may have a potential terrorist situation occurring in your home, at this moment.

This is a full Segment of Supernews – this episode is all about the First Thanksgiving and Why it Happened. Michael Moore travels back in time to the first Thanksgiving to warn the native americans of the horrible evils of the white man. in typical villian fashion Dick Cheney follows Moore back to foil his plan.  The Giant Turcules at the end is the real treat. Unfortunantly this is the reality of what Thanksgiving Has Become.

The Reality of the story also should include this video; which is a part of the immigration debate, from the arrival of the first white folks into north america. there was obviously alot of thought put into this piece because it certainly makes you scratch your head and say wow, more than once.

Feel free to visit our No Bloody Thanks Blog Protest, and read the reality of what the Native Americans really feel about the invasion of their land. we warn you, christopher columbus is not who you may think he is.

after this, we think you’ve had enough for the week. we’ll be posting a nice Funky Podcast for your enjoyment Friday.

Remember, Watch Those Fables, they could kill ya

Scripted drop penalty

-

585

tonite when dropping, I got a penalty for who knows what reason. not a normal penalty mind you – but something totally new, a Cool Off time peroid flag.  yes that’s what it looks like above. it’s the response you see on a widget after you drop on it, and the penalty is  imposed.

I don’t want to think that they Invented This Penalty For ME, but it’s not in the Entrecard Book – Anywhere, and It’s Not Google-able

Whooo Hoooooo !!!!!!!!! UPDATE – 15:22PM

hello,

your drop credits are back in your accout now.

hello
what does it mean when you are dropping and you get
24 hr cool off, on a button ?

then none of your drops are counted ?
are we now limited to less than 300 drops per account per day ?

I’ll be looking forward to your response email.

It’s Amazing what happens when You Guys Comment and Pay Attention to a Situation on Entrecard. We’ve found out that the biggest way to get their attention; is TO GET YOUR ATTENTION.
So Today is The Day I SAY THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PAID ATTENTION.

They have restored the account to full use and replaced my missing credits. Thanks Guys, because Your Visits and Our Blog made them realize that WE ARE FAMILY, and I got all my Bloggers With Me !

For Those of You who enjoy EntrePOD – this is the latest episode, Mystery Penalties and if you ask nicely I’ll email you a special link to the soundtrack – sans the vocals.  post your request to get a link in the comments.

Suddenly the widgets stopped changing, and Wham; it appeared when I reached approximately 140 drops. amazingly it only happened on one of three accounts.  that is also part of the mystery.  I’m waiting for them to write me back and explain this new penalty and clarify what reason they think I need a time out; not to mention a fine of 585 credits.

maybe my dropping 900 cards a day is finally getting their attention. or maybe I’ve reached that threshold that they set for members who consistently drop high numbers daily.  eitherway it came with no explanation.  no clarifying email has followed yet, and it even allowed me to drop an additional 300 cards on another account after the penalty was given.

I’ve checked the entrebook for any info on the penalty and there’s none.

I think this is a NEW Penalty, and if you’re not careful they may impose it on you.

actually I think it’s because I asked a question the other day about a missing ad credit reimbursement which was rejected.  the ad never played because the site was removed from entrecard. I wrote them asking them to reimburse me for the non display of the ad – they told me to write to the owner of the site; who by this time was no longer a member of entrecard.

My Ad is not showing because this site has been down all day.  do I get a re-run on the ad tomorrow or a refund for today’s Non Run ?

Hello,

No, we do not issue refunds when the site you advertise on is down. This is because it’s beyond our control.

Entrecard Support

Do You Really Think That’s Logical ?
you can see for yourself that the ad is not running,
so I am due a refund under the rules in the tos.

plain and simple – see the book.

Best,
