Hey. So i’ve been on BobRTC for about a month now, and racked up enough XP to start posting numbers in about 2-3 days. Ever since then, i’ve been posting lots of numbers, and they’ve all worked, until recently. I would post a number and it would give me the success message “Refresh the phonebook to see your entry” or whatever, but it would never show up. I’ve check the “Fresh Numbers” tab and it never appears. I’ve used the correct dial format link and tried going there, only to be logged out of my account. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
I have found this to happen a couple times to me. I searched on the number and discovered it elsewhere on BobRTC.
In other words, it had been uploaded by somebody else previously and hence, my upload was canceled. BobRTC won't allow you to post a duplicate number, and with good reason.
@Markiemm#108855 What exactly is “shadow ban” and why would it happen to me?
@ColonelSanders#108869
You entered a phone number of a genuine rehab center into BobRTC. This is what... your 6th alt account now?
You are either the dumbest scambaiter ever, or you don't seem to realize that when you enter a phone number into BobRTC, people call it straight away. And when you enter a phone number of a real genuine rehab center, people complain, as they should.
So how long are we going to play this game, CrazyMange? Nobody wants to sit and dial non-scammers and you seem hell-bent on entering crap that has nothing to do with scammers into the BobRTC phonebook.
This is a funny thread. HAHAHAHA
What an idiot. These are the kinds of people that try to ruin a good thing. That’s my biggest concern with BobRTC - calling legitimate numbers. This will draw complaints and if there are several it could lead to issues with BobRTC.
That's why I always make my first call a legitimate inquiry. If they answer "Social Security Administration" it's game on. If they answer "Microsoft Refund Department" it's game on.
6 alt accounts. What a dumbshit.
@1888TechLineOfficial#108903 Absolutely. I appreciate the reminder as that’s something I have not done previously.
@JONATHAND#108901 CrazyMange 's previous phone numbers included to escort services and to legitimate Federal phone numbers. One number was severe enough that we put in tripwires into BobRTC so that if you ever enter particular types of phone numbers your BobRTC account is immediately terminated automatically. A mod doesn’t even get to look at the phone number your account goes bye-bye right after you click submit.
If this keeps up, the XP required to add to the phonebook will be raised higher. If he still wants to keep doing this then we will have no choice but to switch over to full manual review and only grant a trusted role to scambaiters who can demonstrate they know what a scammer is. That will cause a delay in getting phone numbers dialable but it will at least greatly reduce the risk of calling legitimates.
@kenzo#108929 Thanks for your diligence. Sorry that there are idiots out there that try to ruin a good thing.
This is why I always call with firertc/textnow
Before making it public
Don’t take any risks especially on sites like badnumbers
I agree with the idea of verifed/trusted If it gets too bad
