Password Compromised.

FIREWALL · 10-16-09, 12:32 PM

While checking out a thread I saw a post I didn't make.

I think I know the Who and will come up with a new password and a good a$$kicking for that WHO.

This pisses me off as I use the same password for other Wesites and will have to change them too !

SteamWake · 10-16-09, 12:40 PM

Relax if you go look it was edited by a moderator.

They dont need a password to do so.

HunterICX · 10-16-09, 12:47 PM

@Firewall: your post -
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...00&postcount=2

has been modified by a GT moderator, it was of bad taste.

DUDE!

FIREWALL · 10-16-09, 01:07 PM

I was never PM'd for that action.

And Neal makes a point of doing that.

I don't even to Neal, give authority to "change" the wording or makeup a new post.

It should have just been removed and a pm sent.

I would like to be PM'D with a copy of the alledged post I made.

This isn't over. It caused me alot of hassle changing passwords.

AVGWarhawk · 10-16-09, 01:09 PM

It shows it was modified by a moderator at the bottom...fine print. See it? It gives a reason. Moderators do not need to PM if a change is made. I changed words to what I wanted that was more fitting. Why does this all seem new to you?

Here it's like calling someone an A-HOLE.

That's why I don't use it. And it jumped out at me on SteamWakes thread.

AVGWarhawk · 10-16-09, 01:20 PM

Well, you can not expect everyone to understand local acroynms or verbage that is understandable only to that location. In Baltimore, dude certainly does not mean arsehole. Deep breaths!

FIREWALL · 10-16-09, 01:57 PM

@ AVG You might want to look at post #10.

If my bladeles fan was in bad taste....

btw. The reason I use a #3 font is because I can't read the fine print.

A simple pm would have save all alot of grief.

ps. Neal,WEBSTER, and at least another moderator have ALL pm'd me with Demerit 5pts., clean it up, or "You said What!!!.

AVGWarhawk · 10-16-09, 02:05 PM

Well, I guess it was not done this time. After all, moderators are here to serve you.

Here is a thought, next time do not post something that might warrant a response for a moderator. Problem solved.

Really, Firewall, looks to me you went off without checking it out. Compromising a password at a forum is not on the top of the 'to do list' for hackers. Look at the bright side, it is advised to change your password about once a month anyway. Now you are covered for this month.

geetrue · 10-16-09, 03:04 PM

Now that the problem has been solved with the password ...

Can we all take a guess at what the password is: beer, homer, simpson, catalinaisfinewithme, subsimforever, dude (east coast version only of course)

FIREWALL · 10-16-09, 03:45 PM

I will close with that I believe a Moderator has the Right and Duty to Edit: foul or demeaning language or just delete the post. If in their opinion it's offensive.

NOT erase the post and type in their opinion and makeing it appear it was my statement to other members coming later to the thread.

That post by Moderator had MY avatar beside it.

At least one other member didn't see the small print at the bottom of the post either.

I'll discuss this with Neal.

Skybird · 10-16-09, 05:31 PM

Firewall,

the post was edited and was marked by the mod that he had edited it, and why. Sometimes we do it the short way without starting a big business over it. It depends on the details of the "offence".

Now calm down.

Because, you know, forum rules also say something on another detail: that if you have an issue with one of the mods, you should not challenge him in public, but contact him in private. that includes that you do not lecture a mod in public or undermine his authority in public.

Xabba used to do a damn fine job here. I think he is one of the very best mods we ever had for GT forum. He gets the balance quite right. Whatever there is, solve it in PMs with him.

And if you think about it all, I'm sure you will sooner or later recognize that it all is not worth the fuss. BTW, replacing your codewords regularly is a good practice. I do it twice a year, no matter if there was an incident or not.

Now relax, calm down, and smile again. Life's still nice.

Dowly · 10-16-09, 06:38 PM

Drama drama, I like.

First of all, I have to say. Firewall, this is an international forum, you propably shouldnt take offence if someone calls you 'dude'. Jebus, in some country it might be offensive to use the word 'you', we just cant know it here with so many nationalities. So chill!

Second, I do remember reading the supposed post made by FW, and if it wasnt edited after that, I dont recall it being very harsh or anything (it also can be that I just down remember it right).

Third, moderators/Neal can edit your posts anyway they like, even to say "I make love to Santa" if they want, it is Neal's site, there's very little you can do about it. You did accept the terms of yaadiyaa when you signed up, diidnt you? It might not separate each and every thing, but it basically says you agree to play with the forum/site's rules. So cut the darn drama, ok?

NeonSamurai · 10-16-09, 06:44 PM

We sometimes edit posts where we change text in a post due to what we consider inappropriate content, but do not issue a warning or infraction (those come with a pm) as we do not feel that one is warranted. Unfortunately the system isn't designed to clearly indicate where we made alterations (this isn't always a bad thing though as it can save potential embarrassment for members) but it is clearly shown that an edit was made to the post and who did the editing and we typically leave a reason why we made an edit. Its not uncommon not to send a pm in those cases as the reason for the edit is usual clear enough.
