I got a "warning" notice from using mylot search bar.

It said something that they've seen some suspicious activities from my account. Yeah, I was using the search bar quite frequently because I am searching for things at a fast rate. Heck, I'm multi-tasking...maybe too much? They said that I should try searching again later. Can't I use the search bar again? I guess I would have to use the google site again. (*sigh*)

I have not used Mylot search for sometimes now, but I think it was just a way of telling you to slow down or to make sure you read through the search results before proceeding to searching more information.

Ya, just make sure you slow down next time. You mean you are not allowed to use computer for a long time?

That is true. I just wish that if they've seen some suspicious activity around the search bar under a certain user's account, they would apply this program that you call "anti-cheating" these days. But oh well, I guess waiting for having my account cleared from suspicions is the best possible path to take right now.

I also got warning notice from the search bar before. I think if we search continuously and quickly we get the warning signs and we should try to avoid searching quickly as far as possible.

i also have not been using mylot search for quite sometimes and that's because i wasn't that active and too busy with my offline work. but anyway, i guess mylot just presumed you were logged-on from too many computers while you were multi-tasking and at a fast rate.

Kindly explain why MyLot would presume I was logged in too many computers?

I have gotten the same thing in the past. I am a teacher and spend a lot of time at home working on lesson plans and finding other resources. I may look for activities and then change my mind and look for worksheets. With math I may look for a very generic term like geomtery and whittle it down from there as I find sites that i like.

I'm not yet banned. I wish MyLot won't ban me without any fair reason to do so. I use the search bar everyday since long before. But I only got the message now when I was searching too fast because my time is limited in front of my laptop. I don't know why you would be scared to use such a feature of MyLot frequently...it does not bite, right?

Yeah, now, I realize that. Next time I will. I think I will have to cut down my search speed for a bit. I really did used the search bar too fast the last time because of a bunch of things I looked up to from how to earn online to earning strategies to anime and manga to certain anime characters.

A pleasant day SinfulRose, I am not really using the search bar here, as I am just participating in every discussion. However, it will be best I think if you will ask the Admin about that so you will gonna have a clear cut about your queries.

Do I really have to? I can already use the search bar again, you know. I just waited for an hour or so and then *Whoosh* I am searching again and was just rewarded for it.

I have not had a warning about suspicious use of mylot search yet, although I do use it a lot and recommend it to newcomers. Guess when I get to a very fast search rate my warning will come.

Maybe... This time, I'll try putting an interval between my searches. I hope such a warning won't appear again.

I don't use myLot search bar much because I have read in the past discussions about warnings such as that. I do use it only before posting a discussion, I would search if there is any similar discussions that has been posted.

I see... Well, I am still here, up and running and earning around the site. I'd just have to place an interval between my searches, maybe this would prevent such a warning to appear again in a later date.
