For the past two months, (good or bad) i've been RS twice a day, usually 4 hour blocks. On half price day, more than that.

This whole week, every time I go for AB for four hours, they ban me for the rest of the day.

Is TNT being trigger happy to everyone, or should I go quiet for a week or so on RS?

[Elindoril]

I was RSing most of yesterday, not a single ban, then again, I don't have ridiculously small refresh times anymore.

[watashiwakaizoku]

my refresh time's like 8 ~ 9.5 seconds. and i've only gotten restock banned once in the past month. i alternate my hours tho, i.e. 1 hr AB, 1 hr idle etc. or sometimes 2 hrs AB, 1 hr idle. No idea, maybe it's because you're AB-ing 4 hours straight? -shrugs-

[kbbbb]

Just checked my settings watashiwakaizoku and my refresh is between 4.2-6.2 . Yeah, could be a GOOD plan to jack that up.

Despite the dodginess on the account (the mixture of greesemonkey script usage, AB and Ad clickers) I was figuring the amount wasted on NC was a good cover as well as the custom art.

Oh and TNT may not be impressed by the fact that I dressed up one pet to look like a deranged serial killer (i'd post it but...TNT could track me down)

Will have to jack up the refresh rate.

hmm i RSed for 44 hours i think and it just got around to banning me earlier today. Dunno, but like they mentioned I don't have rediculous refresh times.

[iargue]

When will you learn that TNT doesnt personally RS ban people.

This is done 120% automatically by a system.

Man, i'm not game enough to try that. Just doing it in 4 hour blocks, or 3 one gap 3 blocks.

How long are you banned for? Worked it out yet?

I go to school for 6 hours and leave abrosia running that whole time. Sometimes I get the RS ban and sometimes I don't but as argue said above, it doesn't matter. It's not individual anyway so don't worry bout it. It switches to igloo so you can still make profits
No worries

[bIgbLACkaLIEn]

I used to actually rs igloo when I got banned back in the day.
That was some pretty funny stuff.

[Boggart]

I sometimes run accounts at once with the same settings... (whoops ) and one would get RS banned but the other wouldn't

Just really sporadic.

Wow, that really is random.

RS bannings and iceings must have a 'luck of the draw' element to them. (unless the account is really misbehaving, ie SS ridiculously)

I've been rsing and abing for a a few hours in the past couple days every day and I havent been rs banned yet.

Wow 6 hours i dont let it run for more than 3 hours *dies*

[Nearx]

So when exactly do you get a ban then?

[ThaMan]

Xael i wouldnt leave it on for 6 hrs every day, just a thought. Thats kinda a lot of time yknow

I thought i was doing great, made 3m in a week spending 3-4 hrs a day at stamps, and then the next day i earned a free trip to iceland. You dont know what too far is until you go past it, so try to stay safe

[Boggart]

well I was semi-legit restocking yesterday for about... 2 hours? and got rs banned

Then I left abrosia on for 6 and didnt' get RS banned I just should stick to AB from now on

[Noitidart]

I see this a lot and say the same thing but let's try to figure this out jointly.
It's theory and hasn't failed yet so:
Don't exceed 1200 refreshes a day and you'll never get banned. using a 3-10 pause rate. Like argue says these ban are automated. I think their computers calculate bans on refreshes per time.

How many refreshes do you all all do a day? Let's see if we can get a better number then 1200. Be sure to give your pause rate too! Oh post how often you get RS banned too.

[IcyApple]

im running at 8 - 30 sec refreshin rate.. for 2 - 3 hour per day seems fine here =O

[Noitidart]

Nice icy see that definitely proves its a refreshes per time. But the same setting issue that's weird. Maybe it takes into account past history of week? So if you did 1200 a day max that week then you're cool? I don't know more research is needed.

[willy101]

what's RS?

Do you ever get any items with that crazy refresh time?

[Noitidart]

RS is restocking willy. Buying items in the neopets main shops and then stocking them into your shop and then selling them.

Yeah that's a good question. Do you get anything icy? lol

Ah I see thanks. Well I keep getting main refresh banned on 8 seconds. I'm thinking of increasing it to between 8-15. Though I only get a few items now...

Anyway sorry for the noob questions thanks for answering them.

[Noitidart]

No prob willy. RS banned in 8 seconds? Thats really fast lol
Were you RS'ing before that?

[manophear]

I think the lower end of the refresh rate is given a bit of leeway depending on how much the higher end is.

I do 3s-8s and I probably get rs-banned once every eight or nine days. If I lowered that to like 3-5s I'd probably be rs-banned within a couple of hours
