Scripted Drops

[shearyadi]

Someone has been asking this matter in the EC site forum and the admin has answer to ask the help to their support, but since my last experience it's more faster to get answers from them after posting in here, so I post it here

I was checking my transactions today and found many scripted drops mentioned there and I was being debited 2 ec / scripted drop, if they think I've been trying to cheat then I demand a proof that I was cheating! This is not pleasant experience and was bad for the EC after I was so confused about my selling adverts being only paid 25%

Not sure exactly what you're asking at the end there?

I do know that it's easy to make a script to game the system. The issue is supposedly they know this and you'll get banned fast. I realized it almost immediately after I signed up and went through my first chain dropping episode or so.

What does being debited 2 credits mean? I think I"ve seen that before.

I'm not the first one that get banned by that scripted drops penalty, the other member has post the same thing on the EC forum. And, I didn't use any script to game the system, I was wrongly accused

If you drop card to other blog, you have 1/2ec credit, being penalized by doing scripted drops you have debit 2ec credits on your transactions report page.

Maybe this can help you figure out what I'm saying about those 2 credits debit:

There are places where it looks like you are dropping 2-4 cards in 1 second. That appears to be faster than someone can do without a script. EC penalizes you for using a script to drop. If you were not using a script to drop contact the admin and they will fix it for you.

Droping 2-4 cards in 1 second? That's their problem if their system added records like that for my drops.

Let me tell you, It took almost 1 minute for each drop that I made with my local Indonesian internet connection, even after i click on drop yours button, it took a minimum of 2 seconds before the thanks appear. This is really ridiculous!!!!!!!

On closer look I should have said 2-4 per minute. Sorry. That would not be scripted dropping. Use the form on your dashboard and contact the admin and they will refund your credits. Entrecard is still pretty new and working out all the kinks.

I've send the admin an email and until they do refund my credits, I stop doing any drops.

It is a matter of time before bots start working in Entrecard. The first attempt at bots were stupid in that they left a very regular dropping signature in the log files. If they used a random number generator to time random gaps between drops, it would be difficult if not impossible to track.

Also, don't make it public.
