Well, any cheating still has a possible chance of you being frozen. Even if you send 1 score that's perfect there's still a very small chance you could get iced for it. Heck, you could get iced for it even if you dont.
I've been score sending for aaaaages. At first I didn't know what I was doing and it resulted in me being chain iced time and time again. I used to do quantity over quality - i'd send hundreds of scores to get mass neopoints really quick. I thought that I could transfer the neopoints out before I get iced.. but it just doesn't work. The times I was using were too low for the games I was choosing.
Once I got over my obsession with quick neopoints, I decided I'd try and get some trophies. Pretty much the same result, I got greedy and tried to get as many as possible in the shortest amount of time. I.E 40 gold trophies over 2 days on reset day. Just doesn't go down well. Even if TNT doesn't catch you, people on the boards start getting suspicious and sending in forms and shit, it's bad for your account so its pretty much ruined anyway.
Here's where I started to learn. At this time I had hundreds of shells and I'd stick with one sending scores here & there slowly just to see how it turns out. To my surprise, I didn't get iced. I just kept sending safe scores over the course of a couple weeks (game avatars and the occasional trophy) and it was working brilliantly. I started to build from this and do it across multiple accounts & then I started getting the hang of it without too much drama.
