I have received the below message and while I understand why it has happened - it is not my fault.

I am/was trying for the 24 hours in video games badgelet.


I know very little about the subject (Which is why it is the last one i am going for)

Therefore my scores are fairly low and I AM playing the same subjects because I have to - its a very hard subject to research so i am relying on playing a couple of games about a specific game and hoping they come up again in others.

I was up to 154 points playing this way.

Now I've been blocked for 24 hours it means I cant play for the other 46 points.

It seems as if this is designed to stop me winning the badge.

Help would be appreciated

Thanks

Can you try playing in (untimed) game mode? As far as I know the block only concerns page mode submits.

(You can change modes from the bar between the header and question 1)
