Apparently they cannot tell me why I was booted other than some how I violated the ToU which is bull.... Man am I mad at Microsoft! I did nothing and now I cannot ever use it again when I know I did not a thing wrong....

Um, what exactly they tell?

[trekgraham]

That I violated one of the terms of use, linked the tou and said when I asked that they couldn't tell me. Said for privacy reasons. I did some lazy manually entered searches to get some points when I was pressed for time. Provided me with plenty of humor but I personally would not know where to start when trying to learn a way to cheat the system. I saw it as pointless, what little points I earned I used to buy a few entries to the latest giveaway

I got the same thing a long time ago so I took a bunch of points from the ToU and went term by term explaining how i didn't violate any of them, asking what mysterious thing i stepped on.
It took a few days and countless reps, but they reevaluated and gave me some points for my trouble.

As trying as it may be, stay polite!

pfft no, I've done that for a while.

but actually, i find its easy to go to the homepage, and using the middle mouse button (open a new tab) hit every single headline at the bottom. takes me nearly to the top and is super easy. it can choke up my aging laptop momentarily though with the influx of tabs.

They wouldn't change their decision nor tell me what I did wrong. Plus I'm permanently banned from it now....
