sc4fpse and the other botter/cheaters: The above is taken from the T&C of LSC. Up until a few weeks ago, FTers were able to get unlimited FF miles accrued at 1000 tickets per day to their accounts and we used nothing more than anagram solvers and manual typing. We always knew there was a market for the computer/gaming based prizes but didn't care because it wasn't affecting us.
NOW because of the botter/cheaters we can only get one of each redemption per account. Some of us have redemptions outstanding from last year that NEVER posted through no fault of our own. So don't blame us if we are not happy with those who spoiled it for everyone else.
