Re: Swagbucks deactivated my account!
I think by 'unnatural' they mean someone that does several searches in a small amount of time which really isnt that unnatural but who knows.
There are programs that people use that you just open and they randomly search words in order to get swagbucks and if they feel you mimic any sort of behavor they feel is cheating they pull your account.
Ive never had a problem with swagbucks but it certainly seems like a ton of people are having their accounts completely closed with no real proof of wrong doing and you can only assume that at least some of the people werent doing anything wrong.
To the people that had their swagbucks closed - when you originally get the email about searching habbits being abnormal do they tell you what it is you have done to flag your account so that you can ensure its not done any longer?

Re: Swagbucks deactivated my account!
Can you ask them to deactivate my account? Lol. I'm one of the few people I know who really doesn't like swagbucks. I did the toolbar thing, and it would disappear and then reappear from my laptop, without any rhyme or reason. Then we got a virus, and my hubby is an IT guy, and he said the code said it was from swagbucks. So we completely uninstalled everything (or so we thought) and a few weeks later, the stinkin toolbar showed up again across the top of my screen.
I personally felt it was way too much hassle for few $5 gcs.
Just recently though, I was accused by Google Adsense for "fraudulent click activity" on my blog. I've opened a ticket for them to look into it, but it's been a few weeks and I haven't heard anything. Seriously, if I was going to fraudulently click my own ads, I would have given myself more clicks.
All these big websites now, they have bots that just scan activity & flag it, so who knows.
