The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 So, the message I get from the original "Hey, Mike" thread is: 1. Account theft is okay, as long as it happened a couple of months ago. 2. If you're a victim of account theft and you had a really inane password, then you deserved it. Is that the correct subtext? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are we seriously assuming that Leena just somehow, of the top of her head, GUESSED the passwords of 36 different accounts? Like, seriously? Yes. They were all very simple.

But, oh wait, THEYRE POPULAR I WANNA BE ONLINE FRIENDZ WITH THEM. No it isn't. If you can't see the world of difference between "Here, have this password and go fuck around with it" and "I think I'll steal this person's account so I can cheat in meaningless online polls" then there's no help for you.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I didn't explain myself clearly. Previously, there was an account where one poster shared his password with another poster, and then it was further shared with others without his approval. That would be wrong. And the account was used for posting, and sharing PM information, making it significantly worse than this situation. Why wasn't this brought up? Because the kids here aren't jealous of him and want him gone because they make them feel inferior. Besides, this issue was addressed months ago. The admin who banned me, even said that this wasn't a bannable offense at the time. The real reason this is being brought up is because I offended the kids here in The Chocolate Socket. Which is the purpose of the forum. Doesn't make much sense, huh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Account theft, involving hacking, backend access or some sort is bad. Account theft involving someone actually guessing another’s password I see as a joke personally. Virtually all of the rules on the board deal with insulating folks around here from harassment, either by reducing the inflammatory content of posts (flaming, trolling) or by reducing opportunities for such content to happen by repeat or anonymous offenders (PBPs, duplicate accounts). If you aren't going to ban somebody for outright stealing an account, then what can you ban somebody for? What's the distinction between a stolen account and a duplicate account? And please don't mention that the accounts were bogus accounts, because the opportunity for other forms of account abuse (repeated PM harassment, anonymous flaming or trolling) is still there, regardless of how active the account is/was at the time of the theft. Considering that the accounts weren't used for any other purpose than anonymous voting. And 99% of them were dead accounts with zero posts. We're grasping at straws here. But, by all means, continue to try getting me banned. Did I even mention you in my post? Consider it a direct response to Mike's explanation in the thread. He cuts the check for the site, so I would assume that he doesn't need any help defending his own decisions. And, judging by your comments here and elsewhere, you don't really have much to add to the discussion anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
