Ahem.
 

Whoever hacked my account, be it a mod or a random douchebag, don't fucking do it again, unless you want your IP traced and have the same thing happen to you on a much larger scale.

I suspect I know who it was. As in a certain someone who I was arguing with when all of a sudden the rude PM's from them disappeared from my PM box.

When that happened I reported it to a mod, and they said that mods can't get into our accounts or PM boxes. They tried once in order to regain a mod account or something and they couldn't. Fucked up and fishy business IMO

I already fixed everything, but it isn't hard to find out who did it with a little hackin'. Watch your back.

sorry, that sucks. But relax, move on... read my sigs

I did. It'd be better if they were funny. :)

What happened?

Changed my avatar and password and tried a bunch of shit. I stopped them though, which is very degrading since I suck at computers.

That sucks. Festered strikes again huh?

Probably...

likely....

how did you stop him? maybe your "the hacker", and is trying to stir up shit.

I was at work when this happened, so I have a witness.

I don't care about all this really.
If any cunt decides they want to fuck with my account, they're welcome to, I've got more'n one and post count registers so low for me I couldn't step on it, being underground and all.

That said...on the other matter - take screenshots of your pms if you are distressed by them or are keeping them to build a case or whatever - if this can happen and all, you should keep 'em stored elsewhere...

and THAT said - whoever is supposedly deleting messages, grow a set and say what you've got to say, and accept anything you've got rightfully coming to you by leaving them there - don't pull the cover-up thing unless you're a chickenshit little bitch.

how....or better yet...Why would somebody hack into someones account here?

I'm sure there's ways and means...there always seems to be

Any clues as to who's doing it?

What do you mean by stopped them?

And if it is who I think you're saying it is, what reason would they have to go that far?

And care to say what kind of messages these were, MM?

Just your regular derogatory troll bullshit. If I'm thinking of the same person you are thinking, they are paranoid and think everyone is in cahoots to slander their name. That they did nothing wrong and that the internet is conspiring against them.

Hacking into my account was to get rid of evidence that they said some things that were against the rules of this forum. Hacking into Posher's was likely to get a rise out of him, make him look bad and even to see who was plotting what. The fact that this happened just as another of my forum accounts that I mentioned on HDC got hacked is upsetting though. I would suggest everyone check for key loggers just as a precaution.

How would I go about doing that?

If you're talking about the asshat avatar, it was me. All mods have that power, and I was a little drunk and thought it was harmless and hilarious.

As far as the password and other stuff goes, you're either blowing smoke out of your ass and inflating a mild joke into an atomic bomb, or there's a serious problem here.

That's rather upsetting. I just ruled you out as a suspect because I told Rayne I thought you were one of the most trustworthy mods... Now you're drunk and fucking with my profile? Great way to run a forum.


And my password was changed.

I can't touch your password (as far as I know) nor can any of the other mods. That's a serious offense that needs to be investigated.

As far as the avatar goes, lighten up. What I did was akin to drawing a curly mustache on your picture with a black marker. I sacrificed no integrity by doing it. It was a harmless prank that I admitted to. I even saved your ghost avatar in case you want it back. If you're one of those people that gest butt hurt over someone putting a 'kick me' sign on your back, then by all means I'm sorry I caused you so much distress.

That is probably the best mod-power ever. Just sayin'.

Why don't you edit your own stuff? Or some other mods. Or better yet, don't get on the forum intoxicated. I mean, how many times has Return been banned by a drunken mod?













But, I really don't care since it was just the avatar. What worries me is the password. I'd rather it be a mod changing the pic (even though i'm gonna find some way to get revenge... with water balloons) than a hacking troll.

That would be 2, so far...but now that we know Flayed's a drinker too, I'm not closing the count just yet :p

Thankfully people can be unbanned now. And living with a mod probably helps with the speed of things. :D





Except she'd make me beg. :(

Was that ever a secret?

I'm not a banner. The only accounts I've ever banned were obvious spammers and trolls. I'm much more likely to change your avatar to David Hasselhof. In a penguin suit. With a moustache.

Really? That must have been before my time. Good story?



LMAO. Please. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE I WANNA SEEEEEEE IT

i must say - as a a long standing member i find this very disturbing - the power of mods is quite unsettling and largely unchecked

BAN HIM! :p

hee hee...ok...now that the "rest of the story" is out.....that's pretty funny....cause Posher is SO an asshat.



just a little drunking fun....nobody was banned anyway ;)

I'm an asshat because people believe i'm one. It's really that simple... You set someone up for a certain behavior and then you reap what you sow. But then people complain when I bitch about stuff, as if you didn't help spawn it. :)

I think the main concern is that if you have the ability to change peoples avatars and edit their profile etc that you could also look into private messages if you were so inclined, and I would say that having moderated as part of a job before, you CAN make said alterations to peoples account, both this and the pm thing are something that should only really be done in the case of emergency, user request, and/or complaint relating to messages.
So when you don't take one seriously some might assume you wouldn't take the rest seriously either. That's the concern I see here.
Posher, I believe that if your password etc has been changed, your house mod can probably look into it?

She's pretty busy. As long as none of this happens again, I don't really care.

This is the FULL extent of our capabilities:

We can't access anyone's account, in any way, nor can we access passwords or PMs...In fact, this mod panel that gives us these limited options to alter 'potentially obscene' images on profiles, can't even be accessed from this forum...

I'm a foot to the left of where that image was taken. :eek:

3 feet...Your measurement estimation ability sucks...You'd make a really shitty carpenter :p

Just like Jesus

Were you his foreman?

I don't think Flayed would be the kind to mess with passwords but do you think you might have been drunk enough to not remember doing it? Although, you'd have a job changing someone's password if you were drunk...
