Needless to say, I'm a bit shocked because I was posting up a stream of jobs on that site's behalf a while ago, and I was just about to provide a comment for their "How To Write Better Ads" section, and right after I posted that, I found a ban notice staring me back in the face.
Unless I've misread the TOS, I doubt I've done anything wrong, unless you count me logging into the same account from different locations: at home and at work.
But I could be wrong. Do let me know if there's something I've missed.

I JUST GOT BANNED TOO FROM THIS SITE A MOMENT AGO. i JUST SIGNED UP TO THIS SITE AND WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO FIRST. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOLD ME THAT MY ACCOUNT IS BANNED FOR LOGGING IN THE SAME IP ADDRESS MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM SURE THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE USING THE COMPUTER AND I JUST JOINED THE SITE FOR GOD SAKE! WHAT A JOKE.

First, go easy on the Caps Lock, it makes you look as if you're shouting.
Second, more importantly, you've brought up an interesting detail. The ban notice I received was until the 13th of January 2009. I think something's amiss.
Just a hunch.

Uhhh lot of complain of gettin banned from WFHHQ, so atleast they have started the IP log system.
now its the time to be careful for all the dynamic connection people (including me)
i think from now on i should not restart my modem.
its better to be on safe side.
its actually quite a long time i have heard about people gettin banned there.
anyways lets be careful next time.

i'd just checked my WFHHQ account and found out that i'm also banned in this site.their reason is that i'm logging on multiple accounts with the same ip address.hmm i'm the only one using this computer and no intention of creating multiple accounts..tsk3.and they said i'm going to pay them $100 and that's really absurd!i know in myself that i didn't cheat them nor violates their TOS.And the saddest part is that i'm close reaching their minimum payout:-(

after looking at your discussion i opened my account to find out that i too got banned from this site because of logging into multiple accounts from the same internet connection as they say but i know that i am the only one who uses my computer and i didn't violate their tos or create multiple accounts.now what should i do how can i show that i am honest.i think many got banned because of this i think the dynamic nature of internet connection is responsible for this.but it's no one's fault they are right from their side and me and many other are right on our side.

its not dynamic nature of internet connection, its dynamic internet connection means your ip address is not unique it keeps on changing.

its dynamic internet connection not dynamic nature of internet connection (realized it later ) which means your i is not unique and keeps on changing.

Oh my I got banned too . I had a problem with ghosted as a lot of times but I was able to refer a few members from their. I hope I can contact the admin. It says that I got banned until January 13th and that is today. I am the only one who uses this IP because I'm just the one who tries to earn online here at home how can that be possible that I have multiple accounts?

Wow, it sounds like lots of people are having similar problems there!! I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. It really doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. I was thinking of actually checking it out, but after reading everyone else's problems with them, I might just stay away!

I've heard about that place and tried to learn whether it's legitimate but it won't give me ANY information unless I join, which raised my suspicions. Have you been paid from that place? What kind of work do you do there?

Hrmmm! Do you have a lot of jobs that can not be verified? They say they will do it for that. I don't know that site is weird sometimes. I have not really grasped how they work. Somedays its this and somedays its that. Who freaking knows.
