Cheaters Beware! A friendly reminder from dotblu.

Occasionally we discover a flaw in the way that blubucks are accounted for that can be exploited to gain blubucks in ways we hadn't intended. Most of the time, it's pretty obvious if someone is using the exploit that they've discovered something we hadn't intended. We know that it's tempting to exploit these bugs, but if we're really going to make dotblu better, we need to know when something like this exists, otherwise we can never fix our mistakes. We're thankful to all the honest users on the site that bring these bugs to our attention when they find out about them, a properly functioning game makes dotblu more fun for everyone.

But exploiting these bugs to inflate your worth on dotblu is not tolerated, and we will take appropriate measures when we find out about cheating. If you're exploiting any bugs, you can be assured we'll find out about them eventually, and you're taking a risk that all the time you spent building up a wealthy profile was wasted.

I am very tired of trying to play games here at dotblu I love the game gem swap and it seems that everytime I try to play or I get a game going I get kicked off. I have tried to report this many times but I never get a response and the problem continues. I am really getting frustrated with this happening all the time. I get kicked offline and receive a message on the screen that the user can't be authincated. I don't know what this means but I hope that this gets fixed soon. I would hope that I get some kind of reply also.

donna- I have experienced this game flaw like you and I have devised a solution. although it may not work for some computers. if you have a refresh button in your tools, click it and the game should go back to normal. will
