    So I am doing something right now that is getting me frozen a ton, which I expected, but having 48 newbie accounts frozen in the past week, am I close to getting IP banned? And if I do get IP banned which I think is likely, is there a way to get around the ban?

    thanks

    Yeah if you keep getting frozen off the same IP, for the same thing, you will be IP banned but its hard to tell how many times till, if you do get IP banned you can change your IP or use a proxy, but thats about it if you wanna get around it

    Yeah, I keep using the same IP and get frozen for the same thing. I would use a proxy, but I don't like being slowed down haha. And yeah, it should be pretty easy to get around the Ip ban now that you mention it. Thanks

    It would be better for you to use a proxy while doing the tests that you are currently doing.. A proxy doesn't slow what you're doing down a whole lot. At least that way when you're finished you still have your own IP which is always going to be faster to use.

    Yeah there is no set amount of accounts that need to be frozen. But the more you get frozen the more they watch you.

    Erik, you know, honestly if you want to know review scores, just check the high scores tables at the beginning of the month....there's always someone out there who does know the review, even if you don't, and will submit just below in hopes of a trophy. Assume the next score up is review.

    I think he was also trying to work out not only review scores, but times too. Like how fast it has to be before it gets reviewed etc. But I agree.. there are less drastic ways of going about the research XD
