kk can do

Im sure it was nikky and some of his friends... some people really have no life.
*edit* isnt there an option where account registration has to be reviewed by a mod before someone can post? You could set it up that way temporarily or permantley if necessary.

Already taken care of

Good. I suppose it doesnt really matter who did it anyway . Done is done, and honestly I feel sorry for people that have nothing better to do with their time . Additionaly is there a way to delete pms on Zetaboards? I can't seem to figure it out for some reason... :blink:

JincS · « **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2008, 01:57:00 am »

Me neither. But if you do find out how, please leave them as evidence. I've contacted a few people who are looking into the incident.

You cannot delete pms on ZB, but you have infinite pm storage by default so it doesnt matter much. Idk if it's nikky, but he seemed to know a bit too much about what was happening and how it was happening, so idk anymore. He may have watched the thing happening and someone else was doing it behind and he asked them how though. It's really hard to figure out and we cannot even accuse anyone specifically because we don't have enough proof making it certain it'S a person in particular. But it's certain that the whole thing started from #tcpa IRC channel on Efnet, else, where did that Nikky photo in one of the spam account came from?

Doesn't matter, it could be remotley linked or someone could have just downloaded it. It's the same avatar he uses elsewhere I belive, so anyone could have acessed it.

JincS · « **Reply #22 on:** February 13, 2008, 02:11:00 am »

True. I've seen it on a few other sites. But not enough that a bot would have access to it unless it was told where to go. Let's not make too many accusations until we figure this out though.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #23 on:** February 13, 2008, 02:21:00 am »

true. I hope nobody retaliates either too. This may be what they are expecting us to do, to spam back or something. I would say let's continue doing our stuff like normal while still trying to figure out the guilty person

i'd rather be able to delete PMs I no longer care for. Just seeing "Just Fucking Stop" whenever I open up my inbox is annoying.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #25 on:** February 13, 2008, 07:01:00 pm »

yeah i know. you can archive them tho i believe. Maybe ZB will reenable this feature if enough ppl complain. But I won't complain right now so they release the converter faster and restore the old Omni forums faster

JincS · « **Reply #26 on:** February 13, 2008, 08:44:00 pm »

I got a response from the third-party I contacted about the incident. If at all possible, could you talk to the IF guys and see about getting a copy of the logs? The guy I talked to needs them before he can really do anything.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #27 on:** February 13, 2008, 09:49:00 pm »

I don't think IF have the logs, the only thing logged is the moderator/admin actions, not post content. Once a post is gone, it's gone, but do u think real posts are enough proof? Cuz there's a few of them in the trash bin (hidden)

JincS · « **Reply #28 on:** February 13, 2008, 10:17:00 pm »

That should be ok.

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 14, 2008, 01:13:00 am »

@liazon, move them to archive, that way u dont have to look at them anymore
