mySpace Warning: Don't get friends too fast!!!!

It's nice to see myspace suite back up and running again, how you getting on with the experimentation Nintendo?

 

One account went all the way through with it's second batch of 400 requests, and then I messed up and didn't change the E-Mail address and thought I was starting on the last test account, and ended up locking it by doing over 425 requests on it. On the final test one, the first request didn't even go through, so I'm not sure what happened to that account or if they manually locked that one.

Later today, I think I'll try the two I did two days ago again, and any of the other three if any of them are unlocked. Then next week I think I'll start the every three days cycle on my 24 normal accounts doing eight a day, each account about every three days. A bunch of those accounts have gone through a few times now.

 

Im guessing that in the past their cant have been any limits set on getting friends for some people to have gained hundreds of thouands?

 

I don't think there was a need for it then.

 

Good point there actually

 

One account that did 400 two days ago...got locked out after just 325 request today!!!!!

One account that I did 400 requests two days ago is still good after doing 400 requests today.

An account that I messed up and got locked just yesterday...all 400 requests went through today.

I think that concluds da tests!!! I *think* you can get by pretty well with 400 requests every three days!

If you plan on entering mySpace, I suggest you try your own tests.

 

I was wondering if there is a limit as to how many peoplle can request to your friend?

 

Hearsay:There is none for incoming friend requests.

 

Well, you can get by 400 requests every three days, while some people do 200 a day for weeks now and are ok, do the math . Do less everyday and you'll just be fine.

 

yeah i agree with you, you guys are no better than the porn spammers, same stuff different game

 

Dont you know Nino only wants to be loved by as many firends as possible

 

I have been doing 499 requestions on sub 20 million accounts for ages now and havnt had many problems.

if you set up a account thats brand new like 110 million range and start doing like 500 requests a day you will get burnt real quick,

also if you keep the account with a load of content on it this is also a point that myspace reps will take into concideration before deleating your account,

new accounts with no content and high friends numbers are just asking for trouble.


any way myspace isnt even that effective any more for markeitng I have been using different options for my marketing and these have proven to be more effective then myspace overall,

 

What tools are you guys using to advertise on myspace? As far as I know there is only one myspace tool that allows unlimited accounts for a one time fee.

Can anyone correct me on that?

The tool I use goes at the speed of a manual add, and I have never had a problem with adding 500 friends a day. Are you guys noticing a recent change in this or has it always been like that for you? Never had a problem with it...

 

Here's my conclusion/test results summary for new accounts:

Original 10 accounts with 500 requests per accounts...

ALL got locked out on the first try, then three got unlocked, and the rest are still locked. Did WAY too many requests for a new account!!!!

Next 16 accounts....

Nine never got locked. Two of those were 400 requests, four days apart, the others were between 50 and 250 requests a day.

One account was 250 requests, then 250 requests 36 hours later. Locked and then ended up not locked.
One was me dreaming that I could try doing 'thousands of requests' THEN get locked. It got locked at 425 requests and then got unlocked!!!!

Two 400 requests account got locked and then unlocked. I probably didn't give them enough time between requests!

One got locked and then unlocked, and I didn't keep track of what I did with that account that make it get locked.

Final five batch of test accounts to see how long to wait for 400 requests...

One I did over 425, it got locked and is still locked.

Another one locked out at 325 requests but then worked a day and a half later.

One hasn't been locked out at all.

One went through on the first try...then a day later it looked like it had been locked and it's still locked. I don't know why it was locked out. It might of been a manual lock out and not an automatic too-many-requests lock-out, since I only did 400 requests.

One account got locked because I messed up and did over 425 requests, and then a day later was unlocked.

Conclusion

400 requests a day every three days should easily be able to not get locked out. You might be able to try 400 requests every two days. Twice I did 400 requests on an account a little over 24 hours apart and they didn't get locked out. But on one other account, I went about 36 hours between 400 requests and it did get locked out for awhile!

Stats

Number of friend requests: Around 17,100.
Number of friends: 6,459
Number of accounts: 36
Number of accounts that got locked but are now unlocked: 11
Number of accounts that never got locked: 16
Number of accounts that are now locked and look like they will be locked for good: Nine. Seven were from the original batch I did...when I did 500 requests, before I knew about the 425 requests rule. So just two accounts have got locked for good after the original batch.

 

When your accounts have aged a bit do you still expect to have these restrictions on the accounts Nintendo?

 

I have no idea. I don't think I'll ever test that and try for 500 requests. By the time you got thousands of friends isn't the time to do testing!!!! I got 27 accounts to mess with, so 400 requests every three days is more than enough for me!!!!

 

Nintendo are you doing the 400 requests in a day all in one go, or 20 at a time throughout the day?

 

You can just do one account at a time on this program, then another account, then...Few hours doing nine accounts, then the next day another nine accounts, then the next day another nine accounts. Then rince and repeat.

 

How about the ethics of pretending to be someone else?
There might be many people shut in at home thinking that you selected them
specially to be their friend. Imagine their surprise if they knew you were just
building a list.

 

since there is no limit for incoming requests, it would be nice to have a program that log in and then log out after 1 minute and automaticly relogin and then relogout.... and keep doing this. that way im sure it would be easy to get lots of requests from people since most people look for "last login" when browsing.
i notice lots of friend requests coming in everytime i log in, so..
