    What kind of risks come along with scoresending? I know that tnt will review any abnormal scores and that can get you frozen, but what other risks are there? I've heard that if you send a score that doesn't receive any np, there's a very high chance that you'll get frozen. Is that true?

    Like everything that is cheating, there is always a chance of getting iced.

    Score sending however, I think is safe as long as you are sensible with your times and scores.. And obviously research before sending any scores. I wrote a guide in relation to making a safeish list for score senders which is in my siggy.. Take a look if you're planning on running one.

    As for a score sender that sends but no np's received, I assume ur talking about the old Slaughters... I wouldn't recommend using it. I used it a few times when it wasn't working, and was iced but reason given was unrelated. The reason it wasn't sending is due to a code change on the gaming side of things... for this reason it may send out red flags if you are still sending scores using that old coding...

    Seriously though, for 100 forum cash just download the new one to be safer...

    Be Smart... Be safe...

    I think that'd be a refund overkill. Plus.. everyone had it for long enough to get some use out of it before it died. Unless you had downloaded it like the day before it crashed.. a refund probably won't be coming ;)

    XD I was one of the lucky ones to get a refund, but I don't know if many more are gonna be refunded, if any.

    No one will receive a refund on the program... It was on the site for ages and was working when downloaded... If it was downloaded when not working its the users own fault because it was plastered all over the boards that it wasn't working. From my understanding of the rules, that means no refund.

    The new one is 100 points anyway... which is nothing.

    Nope, you are completely right. Don't want to appear robotic :)

    I've had TNT review a score of fashion fever before. x_x SSing doesn't seem the safest way to make nps imo.

    High risk but with proper use of ip disguising and money transferring to different accounts you can make loads (do NOT do score sending on your main account because the freeze rate is rather high)
