I got frozen despite the fact that I only used autofaucets made by faucet owners on their own sites themselves. I had exactly 9 of those opened when the "your account has beed frozen" message came. 1 of the faucets wasn't even active (ran out of free claims) when the message arrived!

All of the autofaucets claimed in an interval of 20sec-5min.
Out of 8 autofaucets there was only 1 that claimed each 20 sec and 1 in one minute. Everything else claimed in 2+minutes => in no way, shape or form could i have achieved the forbidden 120 claims/1min, 1000 claims/10min or 4000 claims/1h.
I had exactly 1 wallet for each claimed coin and 1 account ever registered on the site
Some of the autofaucets required rechecking and captcha solving which I of course did. Got a lot of spam ads too and had to "fight my way through" to get the autofaucets constantly running (and yes i'm very very sure the owners made profit out of me!).

I left my notebook on over last night since I was claiming a rare coin. All of the faucets were disabled when I woke up (ran out of autoclaims, got error messages (probably because my internet rebooted) etc...). Neither did I have that many autofaucets at that time at all! I found them all today and set them up during the day!

The message I got from FaucetHub is this:
"Fraud Report
Have you broken any rules?
You have a Fraud Score of 10.1
You have been caught doing fraudulent activities 1 times.

We have zero-tolerence for botting on any of our partner's sites."

Botting?! Fraud score?!!
You guys srsly have to work on that one!
Also why don't you warn users first per PM if they commit something "not allowed"?

If I'd receive an auto message from support that my "fraud score" (of which I had no idea existed since i'm a bloody noob!) increased to 0,1 I would have at least looked it up and asked in forums of what I was doing wrong. Just freezing my account right away in that situation is really BAD behavior!

     

Pray that your balances are not gone and be not like my case:

It seems like the problem was not in my doings but in autofaucet owners who do not register their faucets into auto-faucet-status on FH. Thus the system thinks I was claiming to much.
I had no IP changes. My IP stayed the same the whole time.

@mex: I found out that user named "kambas" had the exact same issue as myself on April 04, 2018 and it was solved on the same day. If you want I can provide you with autofaucet links in order to find out which one was not labeled as "autofaucet" in FH system so it thought I was a bot.
Let's work on that problem together and think about how to prevent such things in future!
