The Simpleton1405241582 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 I did a search and there was only one thread talking about Lockerz and it was in this same forum. However that was about Lockerz invites. I'm not starting this thread to ask or offer invites! I'm here just to talk about Lockerz now that the hype surrounding it has died down. In case you don't know what Lockerz is, it's a site on which members answer a simple question daily, watch vidoes, and invite others to do the same, and such activities fetch them points (PTZ). They need to collect huge amount of PTZ and get a chance once every few weeks (or months? not sure) to exchange those PTZ for fancy prizes.On this site there doesn't seem to be much thought about Lockerz but I've seen on many forums how members were grabbing invites and creating duplicate threads offering invites again (because they'll get rewarded for inviting others). In this way a lot of people were talking about Lockerz and how it offered unbelievable prizes for doing almost nothing. I tried to see what it was all about and after being there for a month I understood what it was all about. The concept is very clever and very few people gain from it. It's like a game of chance. The prizes offered are indeed real but the catch is that you will be competing with millions of people for a few thousand (or maybe even hundred) prizes . So only a few members get rewarded and all the others, who spent months clicking and answering and doing what-not on the site have to wait for the next time, where it's again a game of chance. I haven't been on Lockerz in a long while and while clearing out my old website I saw a post about Lockerz, so I decided to take a look on what has happened with it. Lockerz now has a shop where you can purchase many of the items seen in the redemption center, and you get PTZ for purchasing these items. Apart from that not much has changed and it's still a game of chance. So is anyone still spending time on this site? If you're one of the few lucky members who were able to get a prize, then I'm sure you'll defend the site saying it's a brilliant concept and members will just need to be patient to get their prize. It's time to wake up and see the reality that this is just another of those sites from which the owners gain a lot and give the members a tiny bite out of their profits.

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 Nah there are many threads about lockerz if i'm not wrong. It's just that moderators might have deleted it. There were many spammers in asta recently spamming with some copied posts and referral threads but they're gone now. So i'm sure 4-10 threads are likely to be there for lockerz which are not deleted. I'm lockerz member but as i unabled to get more referrals and the point system is sucking hard now. it's really time waste to earn 2 points each day till ipod or xbox comes. without referrals it's hard to get into the gifts that we can buy from points.

There were many spammers in asta recently spamming with some copied posts and referral threads but they're gone now. So i'm sure 4-10 threads are likely to be there for lockerz which are not deleted.Well I did a search again just now in "All Forums" and it returned only two threads - the one I started and this one, which is about invites. So maybe all the other ones have been deleted. I expected that there would be a lot of threads because in its peak almost every other forum was filled with Lockerz threads and some forums had to keep a sticky topic stating "No Lockerz Threads Allowed". Anyway my thread isn't one of those threads so I hope it won't get deleted I'm lockerz member but as i unabled to get more referrals and the point system is sucking hard now. it's really time waste to earn 2 points each day till ipod or xbox comes. without referrals it's hard to get into the gifts that we can buy from points.I wanted to get the PS3 but then realised that it would take forever to reach the required number of PTZ and then I had to test my luck when the stock was refreshed, and even if I got it, it wouldn't be a PAL system so the whole process seemed futile and I left. Referrals (or "invites") get you 2PTZ each, right? Is there any activity which gives more than 2PTZ?! It's such a slow process and wastes lot of time. Sure, it's not technically a scam because it gives the prizes as promised, but a lot of people feel cheated because they aren't given a proper chance to redeem their PTZ. Are you still visiting the site daily? I would suggest that you do some freelance work instead of killing time on Lockerz. At least in that way you would earn good, legal money for good work and can be assured that you will be paid as per your own efforts and and your payment won't depend on millions of other people!!!

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 Well the issue with them is that they made the shop private and in order to get more email id's they're asking us to bring more referrals. This way it becomes tough. most of the forums banned lockerz thread. Even worst it's hard to convince that lockerz worked for many of us. This way it is getting hard to make more referrals for the system. Think about it how more hard we have to work for that now. Another thing is that now they made it tough such way that it takes 6 month or so for the good stuff to get from the shop and this eats more time. How you're going to earn more pointz if they're restricting you this much. Besides that how many are going to get their goodies in future if most of us are inactive on their system ? i didn't understood their revenue model either. This stuff is just way over my head when it comes to earning points and getting referrals. I doubt lockerz will stay here for longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
