In my early search if I don't AB for a while on an account and do 2.9-5.5 seconds on refresh I can do really well pull in loads of valuable items and low value items. After that You have to bump the refresh times up just cause of the constant restock bans. At that point if you keep it you'll only pull stuff in from the igloo or attic if you have access to that.
4-7 even 8 seconds works good for regular use of AB, Otherwise if you skip days or etc you can do a low time. Yeah increases risk to freeze a tiny bit but the chances are slim to none.
The easiest method is make a barebone site, have the basics. Then let the community take you in the right direction but at the sametime you have to make your own to show that there is real development behind the scenes. The people can make suggestions in the end you have to run your own website or product. Otherwise all it takes is one majority of people to come around and make a suggestion purposely to take something in there favor. I've seen alot of crazy suggestions that in reality just help certain times of people who just want profit or play the game to stomp over others.
Yep it happens, Just an FYI. If your account gets frozen and you bought NC you can open a claim and get your money back. One of my accounts was frozen and a day before I bought NC. Opened a claim and paypal claimed my favor. Used that money to buy NC on another account
