Default FDX_ Bot Blocker Program FCIF

Check out the recent FCIF. Designed to eliminate Tech advantages to picking up open time. Will boot you off and require telephone call if you check VIPS more than a certain rate...

They didn't say what the threshold will be yet. Another score for the ND's who can't figure out the computer thingamajiggy

The question of the day is - Did the "squeaky wheel" complain to the company or did they read his whine here and react?

Fr8doggie - This is the best FCIF I've read in a while. Its NOTHING to do with ND's. The system can't handle the unreasonable "attacks" by the few to close down VIPS often and nowhere near open time release. The company response could have been MUCH more aggressive toward those few individuals attacking the system. Consider it a warning shot across the bow. If some people need that extra time to support their lifestyle, they may need to consider living within their means. No, I'm nowhere near management but agree 100% with this one.

Let's see ... if I start at a low value and ratchet it up by 100 inquiries/day until I get kicked off ... I'll have the answer in a few days ... I'll get back to you

(Pretty simple programming problem really, my high school kid could figure this one out)
