Sounds reasonable to me for them to ask for additional proof that you were at the locations you claimed to be if their system flagged you for review.



Or they've wised up to the cheaters (drive-bys, auto4sq, etc) :rolleyes:

C. Topguest Rules.
You represent and warrant that you are actually at a location by sharing a check-in at a place with Topguest. Topguest reserves the right to refuse to give rewards for checkins that Topguest, at its sole discretion, determines to be fraudulent or otherwise inauthentic.

D. Service Rules
You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities: (i) copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Service in any medium, including without limitation by any automated or non-automated "scraping"; (ii) using any automated system, including without limitation "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., to access the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Topguest servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser (except that Topguest grants the operators of public search engines revocable permission to use spiders to copy materials from Topguest.com for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials); (iii) transmitting spam, chain letters, or other unsolicited email; (iv) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (v) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (vi) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (vii) collecting or harvesting any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service; (viii) using the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes; (ix) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (x) interfering with the proper working of the Service; (xi) accessing any content on the Service through any technology or means other than those provided or authorized by the Service; or (xii) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including without limitation features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Service or the content therein.

Topguest may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in Topguest's sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.

All aspects of the Service are subject to change or elimination at Topguest's sole discretion. Topguest reserves the right to interrupt the Service with or without prior notice for any reason or no reason. You agree that Topguest will not be liable to you for any interruption of the Service, delay or failure to perform. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Topguest Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Topguest shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User's action or inaction.

Got this from Topguest!

What do I do now? What a lazy answer!

Do I wait, do i argue, Do I request my account be cancelled or do I launch a class action against Topguest?

But if they think your check-ins aren't legit and suspend you, how else could you prove that you were actually there? I'm an Instagram user and have never had a problem. If they ever question my check-ins I would simply refer them to my pictures.

I'm willing to bet most of the people who were kicked out were foursquare only users.

Wow I just asked a question on Topguest's Facebook page and they deleted my post and they blocked me from posting!

I guess I will be contacting the CEO of Topguest directly!

Anyone having log-in issues today? Trying to log into my account and it just goes back to the homepage without logging me in.

Wondering if my account got taken down. :confused:

It seems like they did a system wide audit this past few days to root out the heavy abusers. I use foursquare and don't exactly provide my actual identity unlike Facebook so people wouldn't know where I am at any particular time. Using four square is more private and to feed my check in addiction to get badges. If they really want to verify, they can check my other check ins. It's not like I am doing drive by check ins. I don't particularly agree with having to have receipt in order to get points but it's their program son they are allowed to do what they want. I got an email back just a moment ago that my access was restored. Sure enough, I was able to log in.

I havent been shut down yet, maybe I should take a break. I live .4 miles from a hilton and I would totally love to earn a free night using top guest. I value my time but theres almost nothing I wouldn't do for free points. Its fun for me, kind of like a hobby.
