Please remove this hit.
It's a hit between my sister and me. Both became the same note from my mother. It's not interesting.
Thanks.

I just had my first hit!
Although it happened in an unusual way. I refered some who works in my office to the site, and she started antering notes. One of the first notes she entered was one of mine. I guess she must have picked it up in our cafeteria. Is this a legitimate hit or not?
It has happened again! I got another hit, but again from someone in my work who I referred to the site. So now I have two hits. Should I have them removed?

It's great that people from your office started entering notes. The hits are not very interesting. Maybe you can make a deal with the people at your office not to enter the notes from eacht other.

Well... how big/small is your working place? How do you feel about these hits yourself? The principle is that your money should circulate naturally - in this case I understand that you have no control over the exchange but on the other hand you do know the other users and can pinpoint the place where your notes may gather, and that's what makes the hits questionable / not interesting. If I were you, I'd ask the hits to be moderated - but I'm some sort of a perfectionist and want to share my hits with total strangers in unexpected places - it's more fun that way.

It's a bit difficult if you receive the notes for example from your working place canteen. :roll:

Thanks guys,

The area I work in has maybe 200 people, so it's easy to get the same note if we all go to the same cafeteria.
I don't feel these are very legitimate hits, so would like to get them deleted. How should I go about this?

Looks like we agree. :)
About the wish to have them moderated: you can either send a message to the EBT support team or as ans did above, write your comments here in this thread. As you already kind of expressed your wish, it shouldn't take long before one of the hit moderators reads it and acts upon it.

P.S. I forgot to mention that I really like your avatar. Referring to hidden talents?

Posting a message here is OK, or you could email the EBT support team to have the hit removed.

One solution is to use only 5€ notes in your work place. Then you can't get notes from the other people, but they can still get yours. If you could make 5€ the only accepted note there... ;)

Thanks everyone. Does this mean that the hit has been removed from the Intersteing Hits list only? I can still see it when I look at my user properties.

You'll see all your hits in your list of bills, moderated or not.

You should have told this to people here http://www.eurobilltracker.eu/index.php ... id=2085684 :)
Not saying this should be moderated, but what's the policy? First one got it from canteen and second one from betting pool of workplace, not too interesting..?

Some 4000+ notes ago:
2741 notes, 9 + 1 + 2 hits.

It's not the place where you get the bills, but if there is a clear link between two people. Family, friends, collegues,.... People who are going out in the same pub, going to the same bank,... Those hits will happen over and over and that's why they aren't interesting.
