The more I read over there, the more pissed off I get. These people use bots on multiple accounts and up until recently seemed to be more interested in the computer game/Zune type of prizes. They were ordering them and selling them on Ebay. They don't appear to have a clue as to what FF miles were until recently, then they discovered they can use miles to get gift certificates for shopping via points.com. So now they are targetting miles as a prize. LSC monitors that forum and that is probably why they have the new restrictions in place.

They have threads on there promoting use of bots, telling which bots are good for which games. I just wish LSC would find some way to bot-proof their games and loosen up the restrictions. I have never used bots, I use an anagram solver on a split screen and manually type the words in. Oh and get this: LSC throws up Captchas at fast typists in the middle of the puzzle so THOSE people are programming bots to type at a certain speed to avoid the Captchas.

Well now we know WHY everything is buggered up for the rest of us! Redeeming more than one account to the same airline in less than a week seems to trigger a rejection. I also learned that LSC uses USPS addresses to prevent multiple shipping to the same address so they have several threads over there on how to disguise your address if you don't have friends addresses to ship to.

I think these people are the reason for the Black Hole of Christmas too as that is when they seem to have stepped up efforts for FF miles.
