Darth Groovy Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 There have been a number of issues, where people are posting links that cause you to donate points to some other user when you click them. This is not just going on at Yoda's Swamp, it is happening in other forums, but I felt obligated to warn you. The issues at hand have been resolved, but that does not prevent us from stopping some other user to come and post a similar link. If you see a suspicious link like this, first of all if you do not know the member, don't click it. If you click a link and loose points, report the post immediately, and do NOT under any circumstance quote the post, that causes the link to show up more than once, and makes more work for us, and more points for them. If you have lost points recently do to these childish games, please contact an admin, and tell them where and who exactly you lost points too. Thanks in advance, Groovy
Jo Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Thanks for Posting this Groovy, wasn't sure when if any mod would. I wish an admin had come along first and made an announcement of it, but oh well. I find this trick quite clever, but more so i find it low and dirty.
Reclaimer Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Thanx for posting Groovy this Happened to me just yesterday 300 points down the hole.
TheHobGoblin Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 I never heard of this but thanks for the heads up NOBODY WILL GET MY POINTS NOBODY hehehehehahahahahahohohohohoho!

HertogJan Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Well I'm donating anyway, but still I think it's pretty childish What will the punishment be for ppl who post such links?? Maybe it's better to warn them directly by giving them the HORRRRIBLE consequences I think their points should be donated to Father Torque, who can donate them to ppl who need them Of course the victims should get their points back first...
WolfmanNCSU Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 You know, when this whole point system started and I saw how a user could donate points, I wondered if this was thing. Running a script or a URL that would donate points to another user. (Not that I wanted to do it, but just from more of a debugging issue) But I am lazy and did not do anything more than just briefly think this. I was wondering more how the community would react about the points from a socialogy aspect at the time. Kinda surprised about it just now showing up, but really dissapointed that someone would take the time to do something like this when the reward is basically pointless.
Surfnshannon Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 You know what the sad thing is...these are users who have been part of this forum long enough to know better. This whole thing with the "let's donate to this person who will remain unmentioned until he overloads the system with credits" get's on my nerves.
Thrackan Solo Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 * GASP * You think your safe on these forums, you think it will always happen to that other forum, but when it happens to yours your like

You might not want to tell everyone.
Sam Fisher Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 GreenJeanz does not exist in the database, but instead it goes to ****k.
Thrackan Solo Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Oh ok I see what you mean.Thats pretty sad thats its all over points:rolleyes:
Sam Fisher Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 No wonder how Thrik got 10,000 points, he just posted that link at all of the forums.
Thrik Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Erm, no. I'm not involved in this business at all - hell, I didn't even know about it until roughly an hour ago when I read this thread. Go back to begging people for credits so you can be on the richest 10 people list (remember when you kept PMing me about that?) and keep out of things regarding a brain.
Remi Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Man, the lengths some people will go to... Here, have some more points, Thrik. ;
Antilles_CL Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 I don't get this...Thirk is an obnoxious ignorant person and yet people still give points to him?? What's up with that!
Thrik Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Why do you people insult me? I'm not being obnoxious at all, in fact I've hardly said anything in this thread with the exception of defending myself. Let's all forget about arguments and laugh at these two PM's Sam sent me in desperation to be a point hoarder like me. You said that you would not spend any points, so how about giving me 500-1000 points? Why do you hoard them? Can you help me get to the 'top 10 richest persons' please? I need about 600-700 points.
Antilles_CL Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Thrik, Just sit down and have a nice cup of STFU okay? I don't like you for the mere fact that you take take advantage of people...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Originally posted by Thrik Let's all forget about arguments From a complete outsiders point of view, it seems like someone's trying to dodge the issue. The issue that this thread is all about. Just an observation. Oh, and you might want to watch the flaming guys. We've got a thread for that you know I hope this situation can be sorted out, because it's causing a lot of hate in here. Not good. Peace, B.
Thrik Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 I agree! Semicolon, quit the flaming. I'm not doing anything wrong at all, and I definitely haven't taken advantage of anybody. Grow up.
