Help with Premium SSW question?

Wed Apr 19, 2006 3:51 pm

Hi there.

I've had premium for several days now. I have been using the Super Shop Wiz and LOVING it. It's worth paying the $8/mo just for that.

Anyway, I was just wondering, I noticed the first time I maxed out the SSW, he told me to come back in 10 minutes. The next time (same day), 20 minutes. Today, I got 30 minutes, then 40 minutes.

Will this wait time always continue to go up by 10 minutes? I know I went at least one day without maxing him out, in between the 20- and 30- minute bans.

Do I need to wait more days in between, ie if I get banned, wait 3 days before getting banned again?

Also, I haven't been counting... can anyone tell me how many searches it takes to get ssw banned?

Hi :)

The SSW ban is kind of random. I've been banned after 2 searches and I've been banned after 15 searches. I haven't researched this, but maybe it's particular items that get us banned sooner or later.

As to the time you're banned, look at your clock. A SSW ban usually only lasts until the next hour. So if you're banned for 10 minutes, your clock should be at :50 to the hour, etc.

:o Whoa... what are the chances of that... that I got banned first time at :50, then :40, then :30, then :20, on the exact minute, not :22 and :38....!!

Thanks for the input... can anyone verify this, as it seems to be an amazing coincidence! :o

No, they round up (or is it down?) so it's always a 10 minute increment. At least, that's what it's always been for me. Isn't premium great? I would really hate to go back to regular. (I still have referrals, in case anyone needs one)
