CAUTION New Entrecard PENALTIES – No Warning, No Explanation

11/19 18:12

You

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.

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,

Carders, Do Any of You Know what this 24 hour cool off penalty is all about ?
