1) Hiding claim buttons/ having fake claim buttons or disguising them to trick users into clicking on adds.
I don't get it too. We're actively taking such faucets down from our list.
2) Using unfavourable time consuming captcha for the user.
SolveMedia often takes a while to complete, but it's one of the revenue sources for faucet owners. I haven't had the problems you described with Are you a human. Actually I find Are you a Human to be the easiest and fastest one to complete. Personally I hate reCaptcha, I never get it the first time I try.
So there's no "the best captcha". Each user prefers other system, no way to make it work for everyone.
3) Faucets that do not indicate they are insufficient in funds.
I agree. However faucets are taken down from our list automatically on the first "Insufficient funds." error, nothing else we can do really.
Really annoying especially when you've had about 3 incorrect captcha's thrown back at you before hand when you have indeed entered it correctly.
There were reports of scammy faucets that always showed incorrect captcha error 3 times. No matter whether you've solved it good or not. If you find a faucet like that on our list, please report it to us and we'll take it down.
When is it going to be understood that the more time you waste of the faucet users the more likely that less adds will be clicked and they probably won't support your faucet anymore in the process. Greed will get you nowhere in the long term, it just gives faucets a bad rep.
I agree
. That's why we don't put every faucet on our list, but we review it manually. The problem we have are faucet owners that first submit a clean faucet only to change it to something terrible once they got approved. With hundreds of faucets we can't effectively monitor that unfortunately.
My recommendation to faucetbox owner... demonstrate a high standard and don't let any of these 'greedy and scammy faucets' on your payment system in the first place. Faucetbox will then be known for its integrity and users will trust that any faucet you have on your books are legitimate. Faucets that use any kind of misleading and underhand tactics to trick the user should be banned.
That won't work. What will stop a scammy faucet for claiming that it's using our payment system even when it doesn't? I've actually seen such "faucets" already. When you use it everything looks alright and it even displays the message that coins were sent to your FaucetBOX.com account. But when you check your address, there's nothing there. And we have no trace of the faucet in our system.
What we can do and we try to do is keeping a list of clean faucets. But, as mentioned above, it's hard, as faucet owners tend to change their sites over time and we don't have an effective way to monitor that. We'd need to hire someone on full-time to do just that.
Thanks for your message
