Cspace: Hmm....Didn't know you yourself were this strict...But I know what you're doing, you're trying to bring federal laws onto the internet...Very unwise if I may say so because it won't work. Government wasn't designed for law and order, it was designed to keep people who think too much in line...Like myself...Which is why I choose to be a hacker and "defy" the laws of both physics and logic...

Trying to bring federal laws onto the internet? Lol, all I'm doing is securing our own website. I mean, someone flames... ok, that's an inconvenience maybe. But when someone starts doing something along the lines of hacking or compromising our users' privacy/security, something needs to be done right away. Regardless of whether it's a law or not, I think it's my obligation to maintain the safety of the community.

This is the context of the rule:

Any real life scams, hacking attempts, and direct privacy breaches (also including the posting any specifically identifying information without permission; includes an address, phone number, last name, hacker-usable information, religion in a negative light, and political affiliation in a negative light) SHOULD BE DELETED AND REPORTED TO ME. Scams will result in a 3 month suspension, hacking attempts will result in a ban, and privacy breaches can flex between a two week suspension and a ban depending on the intent and extent.

-----------------------

Is this not the same kind of stuff as those signs in people's sigs everywhere that say:

You are running {Internet Browser} an a {blah blah blah} connection. your IP is {blah blah blah}

Is it? Or am I dumb?

That's just a few benign Javascript tags, normally either used to tell a website what features you can handle and who not to let in (if applicable). There is more to an IP than just the number commonly seen, and a port scan's only purpose is to see what holes are left open by a firewall basically (either by a hacker or by someone securing your network/system). Those dynamic images can also do more things than just that (such as download software like keyloggers and viruses), although I severely doubt Big did. Infact I will say with almost complete certainty that he did not.

For our members' privacy, however, is why this was done.

****************************************************

I just hope everyone understands not to even joke about doing something like this, because I am not so lenient when it comes to security for obvious reasons.

Heh.....Hehehe.....You're lost...All of you...Cspace nailed -most- of it on the head...

Dragonman: Wrong, really, I'm a hacker....have you banned me yet?

Phieta, (Message): Obviously you've never heard the riddle of "The Little Black Box"? It's an old riddleish type rhyming poem that went on about a curious lad who founded a black box among some ruins his kid friends played at. Put quite simply...That black box held everything he ever feared and everything he ever hold close to him....Think of it like your IP....Everything you have.....Inside a little black box...Now belongs to them, to manipulate as they see pleasing. It does amuse me so how I can inform people like this.

P.S. To the Note: Trust.....No one...

Methinks you scared a bunch of people...Lol.

Methinks rucus sounded a little corny with his defying the laws of physics and logic. That little story about the black box and trust no-one. Anywho I dont get half off this stuff cause im not some big time hacker. Exept when I pretend Im neo.
