Studio Traffic Blocked My Account
Visit Hunting Venus.com Work At Home Directory
Logged in at Studio Traffic as usual yesterday to do my daily surfing and was hit with this message: "Your account is currently unable to surf, withdraw or upgrade. Please contact Live Help for assistance so that we can schedule a meeting for you. If you have followed our TOS and provide us with any requested information we can get your account services restored quickly." No warning, no explanation, just blocked!
This experience made me wonder whether the complaints about blocked accounts that have been appearing are true after all. Until now, I put those complaints down to malice but it is clear that Studio Traffic has blocked accounts for whole countries at a time. Now the USA, UK, Australia and Malaysia have been blocked and, it appears, will be forced to jump through hoops to get their accounts restored.
Suddenly, from loving Studio Traffic, everyone seems to have become afraid of it. The heavy handed methods of the management are largely to blame. The forum is strictly censored and recently they changed the TOS so that members are not allowed to advertise any traffic exchanges. As many of their members have nothing else to advertise, this is pretty hard. Now they are blocking accounts and not telling members why they are blocked or how they can get unblocked. To find out, we apparently have to download some special software that is full of pop up advertising (and who knows what else), contact Studio Traffic's Live Help and make an appointment for a "meeting". I have one problem in that I have never heard of the software we have to use and have no idea how it works.
The general problem is that people can't get help from Live Help: members are reporting waiting for 2 hours and more in an effort to get through. Someone has posted on a forum (not Studio Traffic's) what purports to be a transcript of a "meeting". The gist of it is that only members who are not in profit will have their accounts unblocked. Members who are in profit will remain blocked until February 2006 unless they agree to work for Studio Traffic as sales persons or on the help desk. This information pretty much accords with a complaint I have seen posted on surf exchanges from a Studio Traffic member who has lost a large sum of money through having his account blocked and closed down.
Whilst I agree that the management of Studio Traffic have every right to do what they think is necessary to keep the programme going, why do we have to have this ridiculous rigmarole of downloading software and booking "meetings"? It would have been more efficient to deal with this issue via email. I wasted such a lot of time today trying to find out what is going on and the answer appears to be that Studio Traffic have suffered through bad publicity, want to save some money and to get members to bring in more new members. The way they hope to achieve this is by holding members' earnings hostage and preventing them from earning any more until they satisfactorily perform a recruitment project. Those that fail will, presumably, have their accounts terminated and their earnings confiscated as indicated by the ex-member who has been making the very public complaints.
I wish I knew how the "meeting" software worked and what I could possibly do in the way of serving Studio Traffic. Guess I have no option here, I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I am sore about wasting time on this that I could have spent on making money!
