Lockerz points revoked
For the past week there has been news on the Lockerz website that there has been points that were gained illegally and they were going to take them away. So finally they did that yesterday I guess. I get this e-mail today:
I remember when I received a crap load of points in one sitting, but I wasn't refreshing the page. It would simply give me points when I went from one section of the site to another. When I went from redeem to electronic prizes to dailies to my profile page I got like 10 points. I didn't notice it at first but I saw that I had a lot more points that I originally had when I first logged on. So I logged on later and the same thing happened so I wondered if they knew about it.
Has this happened to anyone else?
You Have to Earn Them
As you may know, several times in the last month or two there has been a small glitch in the Lockerz web site which allowed members to get PTZ just by refreshing. In some cases, members got PTZ each time they went to a different page within Lockerz.
It looks like you earned 36 PTZ through refreshing. Clearly it was never our intention to give PTZ just for hitting refresh. So, we are going to take back the 36 PTZ that you may have accumulated that way, intentionally or unintentionally. Those PTZ will be removed in the next 24 hours.
We know you may not have even realized that you were accumulating PTZ in this way, and we certainly aren’t suggesting that you did anything wrong. But, we do have to maintain the accuracy of the Lockerz system, to be fair to all Lockerz members.
We make no judgments about you or your membership, and welcome you as an ongoing responsible participant in the Lockerz community. So, keep logging in, keep earning PTZ, and remember to check out Lockerz on Tuesday, September 15 when we replenish PTZ Place.
