Entrecard, Possibly Banned

On September 14, 2008, in Portfolio Projects / DIY, by KrAzE

Well I wasn’t getting much out of the entrecard system so I thought I would try and boost my chances. The system uses a crappy system that has a drop button image that contains the user ID number and relies on a cookie on your computer to tell it who clicked. This is great for cheating. I noticed alot of people are repeatedly clicking my drop but my website hits aren’t really increasing..which means they aren’t even visiting my site. PEOPLE ARE GAMING THE SYSTEM. Just like digg, people are scripting to gain points.

Well since entrecard hasn’t shown me any improvements I thought it was time to try something everyone else is doing. I decided to game the system. It was really simple too. I took a mouse recording software, right clicked on my “drop” button, and changed the link to a random number… and wow it worked. So I loaded a little piece of software that randomly generated a number between 1000 and 28888 (since that was the highest number I saw in the “new users” section)

Then the mouse recording software generated the new number and I simply pasted the new number over the one that existed and the mouse clicked the load page button. Then it simply clicked the new drop button.

It worked. It was working. Then I got greedy and set the speed of the mouse to maximum. Three drops later it banned me and took all my money! HAHA! oh well right? It was an empty account when I started.

If they ban me thats fine, their TOS should include something about spamming but it does not… sad right?
