You know what? I'm going to go out on a limb he and suggest that there is incredibly real possibility that you're the guy responsible for this. And with every post you make in this thread, I'm getting closer and closer to hitting the nuke button on your account. Your consistent defense of, "Hey, this wasn't really a waste of time - it's great that you did all this work" is simply not resonating with me. Sorry.

So - I'm just going to say this, and I'm going to leave it: ALL of this was a complete WASTE of f*cking time - take my word on this! And once I firmly and fully identify exactly who it was in this community, I promise, they are GONE from this website for good!

I have enough clues to work with, so it's only a matter of time...   :)

Agreed al that time wasted could have been used for more badges and more PL features!

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

But his enjoyment is from trying to fuck things up here, as you can see he was clearly more interested in causing a shitstorm rather than having things improved here And he was only here every day because he circumvneted the rules by making alts, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do that.

You're going to nuke my account, because I'm trying to tell you that the hard work you put in wasn't meaningless, and that it will have long-term benefits with the site? Though I can't tell if you're serious or joking about suggesting that I'm the culprit and that you're getting close to nuking my account.

I think it might be time to stop poking the bear dude...

I remember when I was going to do something similar because of one of the mods being crooked as hell. I got over it though and realised why ruin the site for everyone else. Thank God he isn't a mod no more. Congrats on sorting out the site though.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I've got to admit, when I saw the red star and this thread I thought I was in trouble cause of my really shitty and irrelevant post about playstation all stars being at e3

I don't think that's something to joke about. You are accusing a member without any proof and lowers his reputation on this site. 

 

I was once a mod / server admin for a small gaming community aswell, and this alone makes you a target for certain people. That's just how it is. If you know who it is, then deal with them accordingly, but baseless accusations won't help. Joke or not.

Don't threaten users; don't accuse people of causing harm when you have no proof.

If you have been designing and implementing tools/features to limit spam message, and you've done a good job, it shouldn't be wasted time.
If you have designed your tools to be flexible enough to mitigate further attacks, it shouldn't be a waste of time.

The site was clearly weak to this kind of attack, and you're claiming to have fixed that.
Unless you are lying, and this is just a bandage fix, the site should be stronger against these kinds of attacks.
That's not a waste of time: it's an investment in the future of this site.

As this site grows larger (adding features, fixing bugs, and improving usability should help with that), these attacks will become more frequent: you cannot leave vulnerabilities like this open to exploitation.
Attacks will happen: it's your job to ensure the damage caused by these people/bots is minimised.
Personally: I see this as your failure.

Honestly, the real waste of time is attacking users, based on nothing but your emotions.



I'm just glad this got resolved. The spamming was getting bad. Not me, but a lot of my friends had issues.
