Diane D'Arte BANNING!   
Yuwie WRONGLY decided to BAN the file/account of DIANE D'ARTE.

Claiming that Diane had used some sort of an AUTOMATED SYSTEM to send messages.

Diane D'Arte is an artist not a computer programmer, she joined Yuwie to show her art - to make lots of friends and to send messages and comments to them. Sure the money bit was attractive, just like Yuwie wants it to be.
But Diane - knows that what ever she makes at Yuwie does not even start to pay up for the internet providing bill she has every month.

She has very few referrals - that only one or two may have been active.

So one day (last month) she decided to send a message to all her 6000 friends. Everyone one of them. So she starts from her control panel - clicks on the Friends icon, a window opens with a pics/list of her friends in alphabetical order. And start to send a poem message to all of them.

Works almost 14 hours on them everyday - for seven days. Finishes them all. She liked the idea as Page views where showing up - quite nicely, so she starts over again.

By the end of the month she gathers 47,335 page views - this included the regular mountain of messages and comments she got from friends and the daily messaging she does to all the "online friends" too.

Now you tell me is 47,335 page views a lot? .... because I seen many people having 100s of thousands done per month, they did not get banned!

The argument is - did she cheat? ...and how could she?

She did not cheat - she does not know how! ...she opened every friend's window and inputted the message (paste) as usual, she send it as usual, and it was recorded in the control panel counters.

To add to that, the CAPTCHA CODES ran while she did all this. She replied to each one as usual. they worked as this was an authenticated reply.

If she had an automated system ...... would Captcha Codes be by-passed? ...Does that mean that these codes are not safe enough.

So what else can a person do to be believed as a genuine human?

===================================

FINALLY YUWIE LISTENED!
DIANE D'ARTE's ACCOUNT HAS BEEN RE-OPENED

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR
COURAGE TO HELP OUR FRIEND
WE HAD 400 VISITS AND 100 COMMENTS

WHEN FRIENDS STICK TOGETHER
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!

Hi Frank, sounds pretty baffling to me! I guess I should keep my friends list shorter rather than longer?? Or maybe just minimize the activity?

you can send him a message, he can't hide from that!

thank god her account is unbanned again.

I understand why yuwie needs to check for automated systems, but this is taking it a bit far.

The captcha codes should be enough proof by themself.

And even if they still thought she was cheating, they could have at least sent her a message asking about how she got the page views etc.

I hope this doesnt happen to anybody else

Good job Frank!!
Reply | 6/12/2008 7:21:46 AM
Thats crazy kinda makes you not want to send comments to all your friends. Now i know why alot of people are not getting on anymore. They are being ran off. A couple of my referrals were very active and one of their referrals got locked. Now they don't hardly come on here anymore, some don't come on at all anymore.
Free diane please. Plus it doesn't help all the people that are turning others in for stupid reason all just to get a free referral.

Wow, 14 hours a day for a week and they think she cheated? Somebody needs to pull their head out of their......well, you know.

I think you have found the right words to help Diane coming back to yuwie. She is a nice person and I hope she`s getting back soon. Thank you for writing this blog! Greetings ... Antje

Hello Frank,

I think Diane should email Yuwie directly and explain her situation. She should have got an email from Yuwie with a reason for the lock / ban.

I remember I had got my profile locked when there was the videos section in August. I had inadvertently uploaded something against TOS. I got my profile locked and I received an email from Yuwie.

I simply replied back, apologised and explained that I did not do that on purpose and I got my profile back in a few minutes.

I agree that the CAPTCHAs should have stopped any bots.

*******************************************************************
Yuwie, please investigate this matter again. I wish all people were as active as Diane. This is what Yuwie wants. Active people attract advertisers, make money for Yuwie and for its members, who, in turn get more motivated and expand Yuwie's network even more.
*******************************************************************

Regards,
Mario.

Yuwie is not interested in active members, but it wants us to refer and bring in new members to get its total membership increased to impress those who want to advertise here.

They are also worried about existing members raking up page views for pay. It looks like they wants to earn money but not to pay its members.

Is Yuwie a scam?
Reply | 6/12/2008 11:17:20 AM
You are absolutely right Frank. Time for Yuwie to smarten up their act and start making some sense.
I do not believe that Diane used any automated system, and she has been unjustly banned.
Reply | 6/12/2008 8:01:10 AM
Well done Frank for caring enough to bring this to our attention.
Reply | 6/12/2008 8:06:10 AM
I want what that girl has been taking to keep her energy up!!! Seems to me that Yuwie is a bit TOO big brother and needs to relax!

They are making it difficult to make anothing on this site unless your tree is already built, grown to the max, and decorated! haha

I'm with you! And when Diane gets her page back please let us know... send out a bulletin so we can add her back asap!

Shame on you Yuwie. Too quick to the draw!
Reply | 6/12/2008 8:12:23 AM
I am deeply sad to see Diane' profile banned! I was shocked when she told me personally by email that she wasn't just blocked but banned! I just couldn't believe it! As what Frank said, Diane is a 100% artist, trying ot express her creative side with her friends, but no, instead of at least giving warnings to those being reported or otherwise, Yuwie simply without any hesitations, BLOCK OR WORSE BAN!!!
We are all side by side with Diane, as of this very minute I am constantly sending back & forwsrd emails personally to support her. She is one TRUE FRIEND! hate to see her gone, if she goes, I think I WILL TOO!
Reply | 6/12/2008 8:13:55 AM
I agree with you Frank!
Reply | 6/12/2008 8:15:49 AM
Sorry to hear about diane but if they dont have proof
that she cheated.She should not have her site locked.
Reply | 6/12/2008 10:10:56 AM

I agree with you Frank, I know Diane would not cheat in any way.
Reply | 6/12/2008 12:42:01 PM
I don't know her, she is not on my friend list, but if you say so I trust you & I 'll support her & I just add her to be my friend (sorry my english bad :)
Reply | 6/12/2008 8:16:14 AM
THIS DISGUSTS ME.
Yuwie wants us to be active, but not TOO active??? COME ON.

Yuwie wants new people to sign up, but then they see stuff like this, and either run for the hills or are too scared to actually use their damn account. No wonder people have so many dead referrals, if this kind of thing is happing left right and center.

We all work hard here. Those who work the hardest are punished by being banned? IT MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT. The more I hear this kind of stuff, the more I question why I am even bothering!!!

plz restore her Profile back

Ok firstly,

I want 2 say that i dont believe that Yuwie ever acts in its best interests for its members as a networking site (which as a christian site mabey not either for you wouldnt ban someone especially if captcha issues)

I already have felt yuwies lack of REAL KINDNESS to people & ESPECIALLY those 18 or youger!!

It makes me very concerned about yuwies future as a networking site to be quite honest with u as i believe that even now with us leaving our FREEDOM OF SPEACH
anyone of us could be targeted by yuwie for our honest views/opinions :-(

If you feel yuwie is fair even after this that has been bought forth (Which i feel mabey u may wish 2 re-check) then i say THEY ARE NOT!!!!

More stuff like this about Yuwies treatment can be found at this blog also:

http://ww9.yuwie.com/blog/entry.asp?id=405373&eid=388912

I dont know WHY they act like this!!!

But to be honest its ruining yuwies reputation as a networking site AND as a social site 2 say the least!!
