View Full Version : Results of tests on making friend requests on new accounts.

September 1st, 2006, 02:00 PM
After making 10 accounts and making 500 requests on each of them, I found myself locked out on all of them. So then I started doing tests to find out where you get locked out...

100 requests, with one request every 30 seconds. Account was still accepting new friends.
100 requests, with no 30 second pause between each request. Account was still accepting new friends.

Next day (Yesterday) I did...

150 requests, with one request every 15 seconds. - Still good today.
150 requests with no pause with requests. - Still good today.

I also tried 1,000 requests...I was locked out around half way through it. (Hince the 500 requests a day rule came in.)

So next I did a 500 request test to find out where I would be locked out....

427 requests went through/451 counting the ones that didn't go through due to requireing you to know the person. Then I was locked out.

Of course that account is still locked out today. It got locked out before I finished making the requests.

So then I did a test to see if I would not get locked out by doing less than 425 requests, at normal speed with no pause...

401 normal requests (Yesterday)...still good...er it WAS still good. Keep reading for the REST, of the story, on that account.

Forget the 500 requests a day rule...new rule is don't go above 400!!! (Disclaimer: If you got thousands of friends, I don't suggest you test the system and increase what you've been doing!!)

Note this is every 24 hours!!!! It does not reset at might night!!!! I just tested that out. On the

401 normal requests

account, I just tried sending out 400 more requests and 24 went through and then...locked out. I think we can say the lock out is 425...but I suggest 400 to be more safe, and wait atleast 24 hours.

The final test I'm doing right now is the 24 hour rule. I just did 400 requests on one account (All 400 went through.), and I'll wait OVER 24 hours to do another 400 requests. I'm guessing all of the next 400 requests will go through.

I'm using http://www.myspace-suite.com/ for the tests, since I'm on a Macintosh and can't use what you Windows users use.


From the end of the results.....


Here's my conclusion/test results summary for new accounts:

Original 10 accounts with 500 requests per accounts...

ALL got locked out on the first try, then three got unlocked, and the rest are still locked. Did WAY too many requests for a new account!!!!

Next 16 accounts....

Nine never got locked. Two of those were 400 requests, four days apart, the others were between 50 and 250 requests a day.

One account was 250 requests, then 250 requests 36 hours later. Locked and then ended up not locked.
One was me dreaming that I could try doing 'thousands of requests' THEN get locked. It got locked at 425 requests and then got unlocked!!!!

Two 400 requests account got locked and then unlocked. I probably didn't give them enough time between requests!

One got locked and then unlocked, and I didn't keep track of what I did with that account that make it get locked.

Final five batch of test accounts to see how long to wait for 400 requests...

One I did over 425, it got locked and is still locked.

Another one locked out at 325 requests but then worked a day and a half later.

One hasn't been locked out at all.

One went through on the first try...then a day later it looked like it had been locked and it's still locked. I don't know why it was locked out. It might of been a manual lock out and not an automatic too-many-requests lock-out, since I only did 400 requests.

One account got locked because I messed up and did over 425 requests, and then a day later was unlocked.

Conclusion

400 requests a day every three days should easily be able to not get locked. You might be able to try 400 requests every two days. Twice I did 400 requests on an account a little over 24 hours apart and they didn't get locked. But on one other account, I went about 36 hours between 400 requests and it did get locked out for awhile!

Stats

Number of friend requests: Around 17,100.
Number of friends: 6,459
Number of accounts: 36
Number of accounts that got locked but are now unlocked: 11
Number of accounts that never got locked: 16
Number of accounts that are now locked and look like they will be locked for good: Nine. Seven were from the original batch I did...when I did 500 requests, before I knew about the 425 requests rule. So just two accounts have got locked for good after the original batch.

I would love it if some of you others could make a new account and do the same 400 requests a day test, and wait atleast 24-25 hours before doing it again. (You don't have to spend time making a new E-mail address, a dead E-mail address will work just as good, as you don't have to verify it for it to work.)

I've seen some people say they got locked out and had 100 friends. I'm not sure how many requests they made to get that many friends.

The account that I've had the best success with geting friends was

http://www.myspace.com/105878313

123 friends from 425 requests to single chicks while

http://www.myspace.com/105488824

got just 61 friends from 425 requests, so I'm guessing they made well over 400 requests in atleast one day to get them.

I wouldn't take all of this as mySpace gospel just yet!!! If any one does this stuff and get's there account locked when doing under 400 requests over a 24 hour period, please post!!!!

Nintendo
September 2nd, 2006, 03:02 PM
Oh my...time for more tests!!!!

Yesterday I started at 1:00 PM and end before 1:30 PM for the 400 request test.

Today I started a little after 2:00 PM, just in case the 24 hours used a cron job. 34 went through...then it was locked out. Now I'll try a few 400 request tests and wait longer than 24 hours, and a few other tests, like 250 today, then 250 in 25 hours. 400 requests every 24 hours is not gospel now!!!

I have sent out requests to 480 people quite a few days in a row over 3 accounts and not quite as regular on another three accounts using Adderrobot.
I made the accounts and started to send out 480 requests straight away.

So far it's gone well except it's hard to do properly as Myspace plays up just about every time. It often freezes during the adding process and when I try to log back in it won't let me. A common Myspace problem here in Australia where Myspace has been down more often than up over the past few weeks.

Sometimes I can't log into an account and sometimes Myspace says the account doesn't exist. I have had accounts disabled but they have returned a day or two later.
Somedays I can't send messages, some days I can.

I think all this is more Myspace errors than Myspace doing things to my accounts on purpose.

The bottom line is I still have all my accounts intact, they can all send messages and Bulletins.

On one day and one day only it allowed me to ad over 800 in a single session. It took forever to approve all the requests but havent been able to add that many since then.

Add or Approve?

I've approved several thousand in one go....adding (sending requests) several thousand is another matter... adderrobot is fantastic for approving people.

Nintendo
September 4th, 2006, 10:11 PM
Even 250 requests a day is too much for a new account. 250 requests Saturday evening, then today...and it locked out. My next account due to lock out is 150 requests a day, lock out due tomorrow, when it passes a total of 425 requests...unless I'm lucky.

This is just friend requests, not doing any bulletins or approving other friends.

Cyclops

Nintendo...when you say locked out, is that tempoary or is for ever.
I only ask because I often have trouble logging into my accounts but a few hours or the next day it's all fine again. I put this down to normal MySpace glitches and not them looking at my account.

I haven't sent any Bulletins out on any of these accounts yet, I just send one message to my main account every couple of days to make sure it's still working.
Even then sometimes it won't let me send them but it always comes right.

So it would seem that it is safe to assume new accounts need to be aged before trying to use them to gain a large amount of friends.

Now we just need to know how old they need to be....

Good work Nintendo.

I guess there will be another 20 million accounts made over night as everyone scrambles to get some accounts started so they age.

Cyclops
September 5th, 2006, 12:09 AM
You can buy old accounts from around $10 +.
I have four but haven't started adding friends to them yet.

Nintendo
September 5th, 2006, 02:46 AM
Nintendo...when you say locked out, is that tempoary or is for ever.

Here's where that comes from....

Obviosuly, I'll keep my myspace page confidential... but my company purchased $7,000 worth of advertising with myspace... the result being that I've been able to work with a rep who has cleared my account, etc.

For everyone who can no longer send friend requests: you're acocunt has been locked down. Myspace considers a huge volume of friend requests basically spam and will tag your account. Unless you have an inside contact with a myspace rep, that's it - you may still be able to send events, but no more friend requests and probably no more messages - ever.

There is nothing the software (here or elsewhere) will be able to do about it.

Seperately, myspace is on the look out for "cam operators" - people that set up fake accounts so lure people into a porn/pay web site. I would assume many of the people on THIS site fall into that category -- all I can say if that you are RUINING it for the rest of us!

So, we basically have two categories:

1. "real" businesses who are trying to build a big friend list and promote their business... bands, nightclubs, DJs, etc. For all of you, I suggest you try to keep your friend requests to a reasonable volume. If you can locked down, the only option I know of is to buy advertising and have your rep unlock you. It will be $7k+

2. "fake" businesses who set up dozens of accounts and send out thousands of requests a day in order to lure people to porn sites. For all of you, you're f*cking it up for the rest of us who are trying to use MySpace as a real tool. More importantly, the time of MySpace being usable for your type of application is pretty much over. My rep made it clear they have a big team out there looking for this type of use... they are the largest web site in the world and have a huge budget now, so they have the time and funds to find all the fake operators. Within a few months, you'll just be spinning your wheels on this type of use.

Source: http://forum.myspace-suite.com/viewtopic.php?t=209
http://forum.myspace-suite.com/viewtopic.php?t=187 is also about the same thing.

That happened to me when I started with 10 accounts. I made 500 requests and found I couldn't do any more requests that went through. Then I hunted around and found those posts...and then started doing these tests to try to see where you can start with new accounts.

The thought of having to start at 20 requests a day pains me!!!!! I'm a speed freak!!!!

I got fives tests going on right now.

400 requests, wait longer than a day. (Both accounts are still good. First test was done Saturday.)
250 requests, wait longer than a day. (One account is locked down.)
150 requests a day.
100 requests a day.
50 requests a day.

Luckly for each of those, I made two accounts, hince I still got a 400 and 250 requests a day test going. The 150 requests a day account might end up locked down today....or it'll be the best news I've got with da tests.

Nintendo
September 5th, 2006, 03:19 AM
The 150 requests a day account is still good after doing another 150 requests on one of them. That's as many as 450 requests so far.

Nine didn't allow requests except from friends they knew, or was a friend/pending.

So I think it has, but I'm not sure if it has made a total of over 425 requests so far, from three days. After the next test, I'll probably know if it'll be locked out.

On the second 150 requests a day account, I'm waiting a day or two before doing any more requests with it, just in case the other one locks out.

The two 100 and two 50 requests a day accounts also still work.

Nintendo
September 6th, 2006, 01:57 AM
I FINALLY past the 425 friend requests mark!!! :D The 150 requests a day account went through again. That's as many as 600 requests so far, if you don't count the ones that require you know the person, that you can't do, or ones that are pending or are already your friend. Both of the 50 and 100 requests a day accounts are also still good.

Since the 150 a day one still worked, I tried one of the 250 requests accounts a second time. Now, last time I tried this, for a second time, two days ago, the account was locked out. This time it went all the way through with out geting locked out. It looks like 250 requests, wait a few days, and do it again might work.

I would try the 400 requests a day accounts again, except mySpace is due to shut down any time now, for a few hours. So I'll try later today. If it does go through, the next batch of tests will be to make five accounts and do 400 requests on them all. Then on one account, wait two days and do it again. On another account, wait three days, and so on until it goes through a second time. :D

You do know they do that every now and then don't you? (Not joking, they frequently change the "rules" and they don't tell you that they have)

Nintendo
September 6th, 2006, 03:04 PM
I just did 400 friend requests a second time on two accounts...and they are still good!!!!!!! It's been four days since I did 400 friend requests the first time.

Now I'll give all the accounts a 'break', so I don't end up locking them out with 400 requests, then Monday I'll do 400 requests on them all once, AND make five new accounts and do the same thing. Except with those five new accounts, each day after day one, I'll do 400 requests on ONE of them and find out how long I have to wait to do 400 requests again.

You do know they do that every now and then don't you? (Not joking, they frequently change the "rules" and they don't tell you that they have)

Hopefully, by the time they make changes, my accounts'll have enough friends and be old enough that they don't get locked out!!!!

Nintendo
September 11th, 2006, 05:32 AM
OK, this is INSANE...in a good way!!! I made five accounts to do the next batch of testing with, doing 400 friend requests on them all, then each day do 400 requests on one account to see how many days I have to wait before I can do another 400 requests with out being locked out. Then I tried doing 10 friend requests on an account that used to be locked out....and to my shock, the requests went through!!!! So of course I then went through all my locked accounts doing the same thing, and eight out of 15 locked accounts were now unlocked. If you have accounts that got locked a while ago, even just a week or two ago, try them again!!!! So right now, I got 25 accounts that are good, or up to 10,000 friend requests if I do 400 to them all today, and then wait until the fives test accounts are done testing before doing another 400 requests on the 20 non-test accounts!!

I've gone insane!!!! I'm nuts!!! Over almost 12 hours, I did almost 11,600 friend requests on 29 accounts!! :eek: Later today I'll check the profile pages and see how many 'friends' I got. :D

Luckly over the next few days all I'll be doing is messing around with the five test accounts. Doing one a day until I can do 400 requests again with out geting locked out. Then split them up in to hopefully eight accounts a day, doing requests to an account every three days, hince 24 accounts plus the five test accounts.

Drew

Surely you just had the program running in the background and checked on it every now and then?

Nintendo
September 12th, 2006, 04:05 AM
All I did was change the E-Mail address and settings when I went to the next account!!!!

I just never dreamed I would do even close to 10,000 requests in such a short time!!!!!!!

Drew

Be interesting to see if this sets of some kind of alarm at MySpace and gets your IP address blacklisted....:eek:

Nintendo
September 12th, 2006, 04:57 AM
grrrrr!!!! With there being millions of accounts, I'm guessing it would black list other users. Heck, just in my own town, there's a few hundred people on our High School group. I'm sure a bunch of them have DSL with QWest, da phone company.

And of course I was making just one request at a time, all-be-it every few seconds, and I'm guessing all the other programs do the same thing!!!!

Drew
September 12th, 2006, 04:59 AM
Guess it depends on if you have a static ip address or not, if you don't then it aint going to matter much, if you do then you could be stuffed.

Nintendo
September 12th, 2006, 05:44 PM
What the heck??!!! This is driving me insane!!! I do 400 friend requests one day, then 400 the next day on one account...and I didn't get locked out!!!! It ended up with 61 friends and 520 pending, so it wasn't from most of them not going through. So I then try doing 120 more requests...to try to get locked out!!!! 40 go through and then I get locked out. It looks like it acted as if it had been long enough since I made the first batch of requests, about 24 and a half hours. Tomorrow I'll make 400 requests on the four other accounts until one locks out. If they all go through, I think I'll still stick to rotating the 24 non-test accounts every three days, just to be safe.

I've just downloaded a copy to try.Does the regged version let you do multiple accounts?
The one I'm using (Friendblaster pro) only lets you use one account....and it was 50 bucks!!!!!!

Windows rules!
As a developer and programmer for the Windows platform and a long time user of both platforms, I'm going to disagree with that statement 100%.

Windows, most certainly does not rule ;)

I've used OSX along side WinXP (as well as *nix), and Windows is by far the least efficient at just about every task I have ever done a PC. The only thing easier to do for Windows than OSX is program. Which is why OSX is less popular - it takes a lot more skill to program for.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Windows for many things. I'll let you know when I can be more specific on exactly what though.

*thread derailed* - mods please move to it's own thread ;) We needed an osx vs windows vs *nix thread sooner or later.

Isn't there some mac program that lets you use windows software on it? There MUST be something like that available

From da site...

At this time, unfortunately no. A Mac version could possibly be seen in the future though. Although, you can run the program on Virtual PC, which is a Windows emulator for the Mac.

Nintendo, do you need a few URLs to use to test the effectiveness of bulletins with these accounts? I have a few that would work perfectly for this and willing to share stats and all heheh.

Not yet. When I got at least 20-30,000 friends, then I'll do some testing, and do some free bulletin testing in return for a testimony and stats, and probably make a clone site of bulletinboost.com but for a much lower price, as I don't think I'll ever get even close to 3,000,000 friends. So far I've got 4,278 friends, mostly just from the tests.

I think I'll probably try to get 5,000 friends per account, *maybe* up to 10,000. I would much rather have a lot of smaller accounts than going up to say 25,000 friends per account. At 24 accounts, just 5,000 friends would be about 100,000 friends. Then rinse and repeat with more accounts once the current accounts got the thousands of friends.

And I would probably have a daily limit on bulletins, if doing a lot could get users to report you for SPAM, increasing that daily limit as I made more accounts and got more 'friends'.

I'll make a thread in 'The Marketplace' when I'm ready for the free bulletin testing.

Nintendo

Nintendo
September 14th, 2006, 07:52 AM
Affiliate links!!! :D And probably make a Bulletin service site, hince the future free bulletings for testimonies/image of stats.

Yes, mySpace going down explains why it locked out way before hiting 425 requests!!!! I just did 390 requests on that account...and they went through. So I think, when it stops going through like that, the requests you make that don't go through from them being down like that don't count, so you can make them again when it's working again, since it was just 12 hours ago that I tried doing it the first time.

One account that did 400 requests two days ago...got locked out after just 325 request today!!!!!

One account that I did 400 requests two days ago is still good after doing 400 requests today.

An account that I messed up and got locked just yesterday...all 400 requests went through today.

I think that concluds da tests!!! I *think* you can get by pretty well with 400 requests every three days!

If you plan on entering mySpace, I suggest you try your own tests.

Cyclops
September 17th, 2006, 04:46 AM
And a big THANKS to you for doing that Nintendo and letting us know the results.
Although I haven't tested as such, my observations tend to show similer results to yours.
A few myths about Myspace have been debunked here.

Now we need to test the sending Bulletins side of the equation.

Nintendo
September 18th, 2006, 05:14 AM
Here's my conclusion/test results summary for new accounts:

Original 10 accounts with 500 requests per accounts...

ALL got locked out on the first try, then three got unlocked, and the rest are still locked. Did WAY too many requests for a new account!!!!

Next 16 accounts....

Nine never got locked. Two of those were 400 requests, four days apart, the others were between 50 and 250 requests a day.

One account was 250 requests, then 250 requests 36 hours later. Locked and then ended up not locked.
One was me dreaming that I could try doing 'thousands of requests' THEN get locked. It got locked at 425 requests and then got unlocked!!!!

Two 400 requests account got locked and then unlocked. I probably didn't give them enough time between requests!

One got locked and then unlocked, and I didn't keep track of what I did with that account that make it get locked.

Final five batch of test accounts to see how long to wait for 400 requests...

One I did over 425, it got locked and is still locked.

Another one locked out at 325 requests but then worked a day and a half later.

One hasn't been locked out at all.

One went through on the first try...then a day later it looked like it had been locked and it's still locked. I don't know why it was locked out. It might of been a manual lock out and not an automatic too-many-requests lock-out, since I only did 400 requests.

One account got locked because I messed up and did over 425 requests, and then a day later was unlocked.

Conclusion

400 requests a day every three days should easily be able to not get locked. You might be able to try 400 requests every two days. Twice I did 400 requests on an account a little over 24 hours apart and they didn't get locked. But on one other account, I went about 36 hours between 400 requests and it did get locked out for awhile!

Stats

Number of friend requests: Around 17,100.
Number of friends: 6,459
Number of accounts: 36
Number of accounts that got locked but are now unlocked: 11
Number of accounts that never got locked: 16
Number of accounts that are now locked and look like they will be locked for good: Nine. Seven were from the original batch I did...when I did 500 requests, before I knew about the 425 requests rule. So just two accounts have got locked for good after the original batch.

My results from memory.....
Opened 8 accounts.....sent 480 requests on each account for 4 days straight.

None got locked but all stopped adding at various times because of problems with Myspace....dropping out etc. That makes it hard to make a valid test.

But I do know that on the accounts that did go consecutive days requesting 480 frends none of those accounts were locked out.

So I still have those 8 accounts and have opened a few more.

Does this info still pretty much hold true to this day?

Just want to know before I start sending out requests.

Maybe, but it's getting very hard to get decent results from bulletins. People just don't open them anymore.

I don't bother adding friends to my accounts anymore, the numbers are too small to bother with. You need to send a bulletin out to at least 1 million friends to get anything worthwhile back but even then It's just not cost effective.

Are comments still somewhat effective?

depends what you want.. for links.. definately.. i've also seen an ok amount of visitors due to a chain of 'unique comment pic' + desireable profile on the posting account..

All my accounts eventually got locked/deleted! It might be best to start at 25 requests a day and stay there for a few weeks. Then gradually increase it.

Did you delete your pending requests on a regular basis?
An account with even a couple of hundred pendings might set off some sort of flag.

Is it just me, or a bulletins arent on the main page when you log in anymore? They're behind a "view all bulletins" link?

Viral Wrote this from Adder Robot:



Basic run down of adding friends and sending messages. This is basiclly an addon to my message tutorial.

[Ok im going to go very basic on this, you need to create the account, (random info for mass accounts) but for normal it doesn't matter.

You need to figure out who your account is going to cater to:


-Ages
-Sex
-Location



You now need to figure out how you want to send your requests, you may want to send them with a message just to get started, let me give you the run down on sending, how many, and when to send.

First Day
20 Requests - 20 Messages - Post a few bulletins

Second Day
20 Requests - 20 Messages - Post a few bulletins
Continue this for 2 weeks

3rd Week
100 Requests - 50 Messages - Post a few bulletins
Continue for week

4th Week
150 Requests - 100 Messages - Post a few bulletins
Continue for 2 weeks

6th Week
200 Requests - 150 Messages - Post a few bulletins

NOW! You want to make sure you dont abuse the rule of a MAX of 300 requests per day, or 300 messages a day, you chose yourself. Do NOT go over 350 actions per day.

Now some people on this forum have said that they sent out 450 requests in the first day and are fine. This is true, but you have to realize you will be frozen on sending messages by that time.

Now, I have yet to try this method, but from what i've been doing, I'm doing fine. I'll keep you all posted if new things come up, but for the time being, try this schedule, you'll have great results.

dont matter what your age of the account is,

if you get alot of ads, and have a huge account, it will just get deleted.

myspace dont ask questons any more just delete...

ive been into the whole accounts thing for over 18 months and myspace is probly the most ruthless now...

I remember the days when their were no limits at all thousand and thousands of ads could eb done a day with no dramas...

Times have changed!!!!

thing is myspace was built by spammers, now it is run by a multi national company which sucks...

What happened to Nintendo? I know he likes to try all types of marketing but I'm guessing he gave up on MySpace.

Alright those results are very interesting. However, on MySpace, you can send out 10,000 requests every day but only 500 of them will go through. The others just look like they are going through. I max out 500 requests every day and have over 60,000 friends and have never been warned nor deleted. They send out automatically without a 30 minutes (or any other interval). MySpace will not delete you for sending out too many requests. The trick is to sending out the requests to the right people.

These are the people that I send requests out to:
Musicians
Filmmakers
Comedians
MySpace "Whores"

You can easily find the whores by searching Google for the following things:
k+
w4w
whore4whore
pc4pc
pic3pic
add me

You can also browse the number "Add Me" groups on MySpace and send out friend requests to them

Now, you will get deleted if you...
Get reported too many times
Get blocked by 100 account
Spam in comments
Spam in messages
Violate the MySpace Terms of Service

However, nothing in the TOS (I have studied them closely) say anything about sending out too many requests. It only mentions spamming. And, if you look at my above list you can see that all those people are wanting to get friends and asking for more.

you have hit a pot of gold indeed nintendo.
But why send requests when you can get thousands of them with just one click?
i am sure everyone has heard of friendstorm and tonsofadds right? well i got the cracks for both of them to be able to get hundreds and thousands of requests daily.

about this subject, what people used to do back in the days was make 2 accounts when they first signed up.

User One for yourself and then just leave the other one how it is... plain and simple, after 4-5 months they would come back and use it and request a bunch of friends daily and accept the ones that had requested them.
