Sandy21 Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I am so sick and tired of the Dreaded Blue Screen after answering a few survey questions.. Unfortunately we were unable to record your participation. This may be due to the fact that you already participated in this opportunity or there was a suspected violation of our terms and conditions. You will be redirected to your panel platform. This appears on a blue background, after about 2 or 3 minutes into a survey. I pride myself in being completely honest when taking surveys. I have no idea what the survey is all about as it just started and what could I have possibly violated? I'm getting this screen more and more as of late and I find it both annoying and insulting. Anyone else get thus Dreaded Blue Screen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnecticutMarc Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I get "Unfortunately we were unable to record your participation." and "This may be due to the fact that you already participated in this opportunity or there was a suspected violation of our terms and conditions. You will be redirected to your panel platform." from time to time. I just simply ignore that babbling and go elsewhere. BTW, all of that adds strongly to my belief that most if not all of the survey writers are actually severely mentally deranged. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawn_b_adams Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 I dumped all the panels that gave me that nonsense. @ConnecticutMarctotally agree with you on your thoughts about survey writers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy21 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 I heard from Tellwut today regarding another matter but they also informed me of the following: "You are constantly being flagged by the supplier for security reasons. It generally happens if you have been taking similar surveys from other survey sites as well." Maybe this is why I am repeatedly getting this screen? I only belong to three panels at the moment and the only one I am active in is Tellwut. So I doubt I am getting that blue screen for the reason they mentioned. I emailed them back and told them as much and asked how I can stop getting flagged by their supplier for security reasons. So far I have not heard back but that was only a few hours ago It is very upsetting to me that I am being flagged for security reasons as I truly try my best to be honest and open in every survey I am permitted to take. Anyone have any ides or suggestions? I am all ears as i find this kind of thing "flagged for security reasons" an attack on my integrity. Maybe I am just being too sensitive but it surely discourages me from taking surveys. Thanks for any input you may have! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schludermann Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 I’ve written about panels tracking members by forming an identification ID based on your machine configuration. You should try to avoid completing surveys from the same browser and if at all possible and app version of the panel from a mobile device. It will probably take some work paying close attention to which websites you are diverted to after passing screening. Always watch the address bar at the top of the screen and look for changes to the survey psge. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy21 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 I've been back and forth with Tellwut support over this issue and I do see as they do as well that SSI is behind this dreaded blue screen. I HOPE THEY FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP because today I have taken and completed at least 5 Surveys and each and every time I get absolutely no points, just this dreaded blue screen. I have not violated anything, have not taken the survey before and I have no idea why I am not getting my points. This is very frustrating and upsetting and I am NOT taking any more surveys today and wasting my time. I am also going to write to Tellwut Customer Support and let them know that this problem has escalated and is impossible to deal with. AM I EVER ANGRY! I think I will send them this post as well. The BiG difference is that this Dreaded Blue Screen used to be in the beginning of the survey. NOW it waits to rear its ugly head after I finish the entire survey. That's why it's so horribly frustration and a huge waste of time. I finish the entire survey and THEN it shows up. Sigh I guess I am alone in this frustration. Wish there were others that had the same problem as I bet it would get fixed a lot faster if lots of us ran into this. (And at least half the time I don't even know it is SSI until I finish the entire survey!) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to do what surveys they send to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy21 Posted September 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Tellwut has gotten back to me twice, saying that they have reached out twice to their supplier and have not gotten any response yet. In the meantime I find I have FAR less surveys to take and I almost qualify for none, especially those worth more points. I still get the Dreaded Blue Screen but not as often, perhaps because there are far less surveys for me to even try. Of course all this means that I am barely able to make much money with Tellwut as I have in the past. They were my best moneymaker, not that I belong to many panels anymore. I am wondering if anyone has noticed how many more members are joining Tellwut on a daily basis. Maybe this makes finding a survey that has not closed all the more difficult? I still get emails about external surveys but even if I immediately click on them the second they arrive, they are always full. Maybe another panel is about to bite the dust for me? I just can't seem to do well with them anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dumped them over a year ago. I won't tolerate being treated like this. Qmee used to be my biggest money maker, but then they declined, started treating me crappy, and I dumped them. I'd just dump them and move on. Nobody should put up with being treated like crap. The thing is that these survey sites treat people like this because people will put up with it. I think if there were less people that tolerate this kind of crap, that the survey sites would get the message and start treating people better. Sites will treat you how you let them treat you. Don't let them do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
