According to Home Pages friends, Canadians are cheats

I have been a member of the Home Pages since almost the beginning, and now I find that my country has a high incidence of click fraud that we will be no longer allowed to participate. Now I have never cheated, have not done any click fraud, used the same computer all the time, but now for some reason, I will no longer be able to use their searches.
So why is this happening? Is it because Canada has allowed so many people in from countries that are notorious for cheating, that this is happening?
I am not a cheat, why should I be blamed because of some people in my country?

I had the same problem a couple of months ago. They said the same thing about Americans. I think it has to do with people searching too many times. Some combined Homepages friends with PackJack and Trivia Places which resulted to ABNORMAL searches.

I never thought of that. I thought it was because a while ago, Canada welcomed all people and the cheats just snuck in.

The old adage, one bad apple .... . Afew selfish people who want to make easy money cheat, and spoil it for the majority. It's the same old story!

trouble is that many do not know that they cheat. That is whole trouble about it.

It is not fair to treat you that way. In fact, I find treating you that way to be insulting. There are millions of people in Canada and not all Canadians are crooks and murder Canadian Indians. A lot of Canadians are good, honest people. They had no right to lump you in with a handful of crooks.

As a fellow Canadian I agree! Why in the world should we be punished for something that someone else who happens to live in our Country has done! I have never cheated either and I haven't even thought about it nor would I ever cheat!

Well that's not fair is it? I guess you can just stand tall knowing that you never cheated and unfortunately its guilt by association most of the time.

That means that now if there is program that says you get paid for searching, I will be sure not to join as they might change the rules in mid stream. I guess they just want people on their own countries and those of their neighbors.

Yes we have to suufer many times due to the general impression of the whole country though you may not have done single dishonest work whole of your life. There are many site where we Indians are not allowed to work or banned after some days, like recently i have heard about ciao....but teh no solution for such situations....only if we be dishonest to state our residence wrong...like other than those which are banned but that may also lead to some problems later on i think, and that will be also a kind of cheating again.

I guess I don't know what this site is but as an IT consultant it seems a bit fishy that they would resort to this type of banning so to speak. It seems illogical and POOR business to blame a country and put everyone within it on a ban.
With that being said they could have actually put the time into stuff hired some great coding personnel to develop something where you can't entirely cheat. Now there will ALWAYS be exceptions as nothing these days or ever was 100% un-hackable.
I think it has nothing to do with you rather their laziness to actually come up with a proper game plan to fix this and not outright call a country 'cheaters'.

OMG.Im sorry to hear that.But how they can cheat.I think HPF is so weird site for me.Since i donk know the system correctly.I was search for more than 50 search.But i only get a little amount of money.And then they ban my account.I dont know what is my fault?I have only one account.i only search,why they ban me?So i think we have bad experience with this site.Hope we can get a new one.
