BLINK- Turn the 5pointers into 15

[douglassville]

Just a thought, After you leave Blink for a while, when you go back they ask you to sign in for that 10 pt. thing each tim. So why not go back throughout the day for those 5 pointers and get 15 instead ?

yeah i posted these before but someone told me it was illegal

It may be illegal but it works.

Check your points ...
The 10 points for their "security" check only applies once per day, no matter how many times you do it.

one time but no more.....you get the 10 only once a day no matter how many times you go in and out. What I can't understand is, if they know it's you logging in again and won't give you the 10 points-why do you need to do it....your already logged in with your name and pass word, don't they trust their own site?

I've always wondered why they continually do that throughout the day

My understanding is this (I could be wrong. I have been before.):
They aren't worried about your security (much). What they want to do with the verification number is prevent folks from using the kind of auto-clicking utility that used to be common. With an auto-clicker, you just went away and let your computer do the clicking. Advertisers weren't too thrilled since that meant clickers weren't looking at their sites.

So different programs use different means to foil the auto-clickers.

When you get the verification screen at Blink the number is random-generated and presented as a graphic, so the auto-clicker would (presumably) not be able to read the numbers and enter it for you. That just means a human has to be there to type in the four numbers. I couldn't say that it's impossible to start up an auto-clicker after that point. Apparently Blink believes it is.
