Buzzcity - Blocked, and AM contact?

Howdy,

Getting into mobile marketing bit by bit, expanded to Buzzcity the other day for the intl traffic.

1. How do people contact their AMs - if there are any [for blocking low quality publishers], and how does one get in contact with them? I've used their contact form a couple of times - with no response in 5 days now, and conveniently their US office had no phone contact details.

2. What's a flashing "Blocked" mean? I'd ask my AM - but they seem to be hiding in their hobbit holes. I set a few campaigns - and a couple went from pending approval to blocked.

Thanks for the help

each account is categorized according to what your first few campaign's niches are.
if your 1st campaign was a dating ad, they classify you as a dating account and you can't run any other type of campaigns on it, hence the term "blocked" showing up.

you need to create a new account, just use the same email. then add it to your master account so it's easier to switch between accounts.

thisoldhat ey? I remember you, in a negative way.

Ah, thanks, that sums it up.

Do you now? The only negative impact I made was years ago at blackhatworld - and that place is scrub city.

you can ask to change the category of existing account instead of opening a new one

See, that kind of relates to my first question - since I can't get in touch with these people.

My 1st campaign on buzzcity was for a dating offer, with no success (read here please)
I've created a new account just to run a gaming offer (this is pretty crazy imo)

In my master account i've added the "sub" account,
what's next ? do i have to fund the sub account too ?? (this is even more crazy..)

Why would that be crazy?
You also have the option to transfer funds. Check the tiny link at the bottom of the add funds page.
