Someone who I thought was a friend there revealed the name of my gimmick account, resulting in the loss of all my items.

Now my mission to take over anarchy will be delayed a couple more months, until I can get more money to buy weapons and defence.

*sigh*

Shame this forum doesnt have any RPG elements attached (or does it?).

So you're pissed off because you got caught doing something you weren't supposed to be doing?

Did you not think that at some stage you may have been found out?

A bummer that a so called friend dobbed you in though - I can certainly understand why you'd be pissed about that.

I hope you give them what for.

[Penny]

hahaha ... thats the risk you take when you create gimmick accounts I spose!

I accidentally dropped a friend in the NZD shit one time...noticed some odd things happening and alerted Webby...though I was not aware it was the person I knew using a dupe account.

When I found out I was most horrified...I still owe him a banoffi pie.

[Teelo]

Actually the gimmick account cost me 6SP and was valid in anarchy only
The guy dobbed me in to a usergroup who dont like me.

My flatmate and I wrote a spider/stats tool to reveal so-called deleted and private photos on NZD. Don't tell webby. DO tell people that anything they upload to NZD is still available after deletion.

We were also the ones who figured out how bronze members could get 200+ photos on their profile. I got caught on that occasion. They called me a hacker, I called them no-hoper ASP losers.

While we're on that subject..apparently Raine and my figuring out a hole in their parseing code that allowed me (and the people I told about it) to post in formatted text..was me 'attempting to subvert NZDating security and protocols' or some bullshit like that.

Got me banned for 2 weeks, but spawned the idea of NZB...so thanks Webby!

Hilarious. They're full of bulls***. I'd never trust personal details or social interactions in the hands of a group like that. There's no accountability, and apparently no logic or sense at work.

Actually, now I've shared my mischief it might be wiser to take it down please Kall. Cheers.

[kall]

What mischief is that man?

[nih]

Indeed.

You are a good man.

Oh, and on the Personal Info note..they approached me and said 'We suspect you of linking to nzdating.com from other websites with the phrase 'web nazis'. Please give us your Name, address and phone number so we can give them to the police'.

I declined, and advised I would take the alternative according to their TOU: Account Deletion.

They then went to Sparklechick, as she was using our Couples account, and accused me of misuse of NZD and asked for her details. She did the same as me.

Why couldn't they have gotten a WHOIS of the sites concerned, or contacted the hosting provider? Because they are nutsacks.

(Oh, and...yes, I did link to them using that lovely keyphrase...not that it is against ANY law...for a month after I had removed the links, googling for the phrase 'web nazis' would give www.nzdating.com as result 1 of about 680,000.)

Well done, I love it.

There's something very wrong with their behaviour. It's a shame they're not threatening to sue you, as you could go for a declatory judgement and have the issue resolved both for you and future victims of their bizarre regime.

I bet they stop at NZD 3.0 and start buying each other uniforms and jackboots. Third Reich on!

[eomachine]

I'm still over there. weening myself out I think. The webbies have gotten so bad lately, banning left right and centre for no obvious reasons.

Since this thread has gone horribly off-topic, will a moderator please close this thread.

[nih]

Don't close it yet.

I've never understood the purpose of halting an active conversation, regardless of whether it has exorably moved away from the original topic. A thread like that has many flavours and ideas, and has the maturity of lasting for days or weeks. A thread like that is everything an NZD thread is not. And it's a given that unless someone is super-excited over the topic (read: gay for it) it's not going to be re-started under another thread. And if it does, nobody is going to post to it.

Closing the topic ends the discussion, possibly never to be raised again. Let's make NZB free of this sort of guideline eh?

[Penny]

well I could split it...?

[nih]

I thought about this. It might fragment the conversation. It's easier to join in the thread if you can see where it came from.

[Penny]

ok...so back to the off topic topic... I read your post and what you did... Man how come you never showed me! That'd have been interesting to see....

[nih]

I don't think I knew you then dear.

[Penny]

oh man, we known each other for ages.....
