I came clean with DT. I sent him a link to my double account that I used all of I think twice, both within a month of creating it (once to post and once to upload an attachment because we had crap for storage space back then). Also, I created it before most of you were even here, circa November 2004.


oh yea... i joined in June '04! I am a veteran member that rarely comes on anymore sad.gif

And if he did rig polls, why didn't he play the raffle and the magic boxes also?

Because then I notice. The past 10 raffle winners give me a very nice list of names to check. wink.gif

Anyway, time for my backlash.

DEAD... you DID expose a security threat, which was beneficial to us (which means I won't ban you outright). But you've clearly violated the rules, so you're fired. DEAD is also to be suspended for 17 16 days (one for each extra account tongue.gif). All the minerals stored on the extra accounts, they're going bye bye.
[edit]Reducing his suspension to 8 days, only because he gave a good explanation.[/edit]

To prevent such things in the future, I'm setting up a random screening system. I'm going to check ten members at random every day for double accounts. Hopefully, DTBK will join me as well. So... if you've got more accounts, you're going to be found eventually. Think about what you're doing.

Shocko, what is more important: a little poll that he rigged, or the fact that SEN is not prepared to reveal double accounts?

And besides, we all know that Syphon rigged one poll by adding his name in, and nothing happened.

What did the hacks do? They removed topics, suspended staff.. in other words - did bad things. What did that result in? It resulted in improvements of the code, which is good.

No pain no gain.

ADDITION:
Moose, you should lower the amount of days of suspension - all he did was help you, and encourage you to increase security. Would you prefer some random moron creating 16 accounts and spamming our forums with them, or DEAD creating 16 accounts?

Basically he saved (or lowered the chance) you from the potential moron that may show up.

Allow me to take a look at the rules.
"1. By participating on this website, you acknowledge that you possess a working, functional brain, will make use of it, and are capable of playing nice in the sandbox with the other kids. You will be expected to respond to logic."
"5. Demonstrate common sense in your actions..."
"If you get busted for breaking one of the rules or doing something very stupid, you will be dealt with accordingly."
Three rules agree that what he did justifies a small punishment and not some big dramatic SEN-shattering war. wink.gif
Unless you care to explain how blindly following rulebooks without any regard for reasons or logic is making use of your brain and demonstrating common sense. tongue.gif

Do you truly think that he did it for some other reason other than showing Moose his inability to find double accounts?

With the hackings it was no joke - SEN got some damage. This did 0 damage to SEN, and revealed and got attention to a problem, that must be fixed.

Zero damage? What about rigging polls? In particular, the big OSMAP one? tongue.gif

And seriously... if he wanted to prove there was no automated scanning for double accounts, he could've just asked me.

Yeah, a lot of people asked you to improove moderation a long time ago. And after LONG TIME, you finally made moderator changes. We all remember how you went like "sorry dude, but I found out that you do nothing" about some tutorial keepers, and stuff like that...

To get your lazy ass moving there must be a powerful kick.

By hacking i ment my account, which was hacked before sen got hacked.

Yes, it's such a pathetic excuse for it. He may of done it for just fun, maybe even to rigg a poll of his choice but non the less it doesn't change that he did it. And the fact his excuse was so lame i don't think you can take it seriously.

I hope that he didn't use the accounts to rig the OSMAP poll. Hmm, well I'm not saying he did rig the OSMAP poll, but seeing that if the 17 votes were used it would have made a big difference and instead of being 112-132 it would have been 112-115. Well sorry to hear that you are demoted, I thought you were a decent moderator.

Also please stop saying "it's not serious, it's lame". When will you understand that it's quite serious?

Don't get me wrong, what DEAD did was wrong, and there should be consequences for his actions, I'm just saying it's not really as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. He changed the outcome of one poll that had little (if any) effect on SEN. Calling him a "double agent" and a "terrorist" plotting to destroy SEN is a bit extreme...

Shocko, he believes it was successful in that it made an example of how un-monitored double accounts are because of how long it took them to find it, not because of the sheer number he had.

It's still not an experiment I'd do, but whatever floats you boat.

you have really poor grammar, but thanks for standing up for me, i never even thought about the fact that yes he broke the double accounting rule technically 16 times.

and is saying "it was an experiment to test the admins"
honestly a good excuse?

It's like devilesk (all though i don't believe he did it) saying
"i hacked SEN to test the admins"

you can ban devilesk permanently for testing the admins but cut DEAD's suspension in half for testing the admins.

like i have hated devilesk for a long time ( not so much now ) but still this is like extremely unjust.

The rift amongst members is incredible. You either lose respect for DEAD because he made other accounts and rigged a dumb useless poll or you still respect DEAD because nothing about him has actually changed. Do you all follow suit so easily?

I think what he did was actually a great experiment. Because he made them six months ago, don't you find it the least bit interesting that the most recent addition to the administration was the one who figured it out? Now I know IP and Moose have plenty else to worry about than cracking down on multiple accounts and I'm not trying to blame this administration for anything. It is just quite interesting to me that DEAD was discovered so late.

Good job, DEAD. I still respect you.

It is justified to me simply because it proves they weren't exactly doing their job. Granted, 16 extra accounts is going a little overboard, and I don't necessarily condone his behavior. This is just very intriguing to me and I am actually glad he did it to some extent.
