Sure, I'll get right on opening that back up so you can rape me some more. Or not.

Do you not get money for the ads if its viewed through an iframe? I don't see how that would be against the rules.

And secondly I did give your website proper credit, look in the about.

Eos Wrote:Auto refresh violates the terms of service. A very simple google search will show that gets your account terminated by them quite quickly, and judging by my earnings for the last two months, I'm guessing that's how long you've had this up because both months they invalidated nearly a quarter of my revenue as illegitimate.

Zakar Wrote:I can limit the lowest amount of time to auto refresh if you would like.

2. Only I used the server checker. There wasn't a ton of people using it.
Maybe one other guy, and he doesn't even play MS, so I doubt he used it often.

I've had that server checker in total running for about an hour, at TOTAL. Theirs no reason for that to take "Nearly a quarter of your revenues".

Eos Wrote:Auto refresh period is a no no, and it might not have been you that was the chief abuser, but enough sites were doing the same thing for some idiotic reason or other to make this a necessary change.

If you're the only one using it, why not just use the site itself? :f6:
How hard is it to have my window up, instead of your window up, if they're both going to the exact same place and doing approximately the same thing.
Not like every browser in the known universe doesn't have an auto refresh option either built in, or available via extension at this point, and those oddly enough are considered legit.

Zakar Wrote:And it was. Also if I auto-refreshed in the browser, wouldn't that have the same effect?

Eos Wrote:Not to them. You'd have to ask them why, but most likely because the end user choosing to do it is rather different than the site forcing it on them.

Zakar Wrote:Well I'm sorry if your/my GMS Status Checker, affected your profits.
