Angel; How about the 999Max gold incident that happened today? Since we opened on the same day, it would be fitting. XD

Poor Angel. DX I just went through a massive storm yesterday. I hurt myself while doing it. DX

Baja; ::clings:: yay! I should PM my new newbie as well. Hm... I haven't talked to her since I sent out the welcome PM... wait. I haven't talked to her once! DX

Hey Sen.
I'm glad that I found the thread. I saw you had been talking about making one up in Orange's thread. What a whirlwind of events since yesterday afternoon.

Indeed. ^^

Our first report 3/10/2008:

Anyways, here you go:
A recent hacking attempt led to several users with gold counts reaching close to a million. Inevitably many threads were made referring to previous hackings and asking what was going to be done about the insane gold counts. Several users feared a rollback would occur, and people backspaced to their last know true post count to screen shot it as proof of what they actually owned. However, this hacking attempt caused a lot less hassle than the two I had previously seen. The majority of threads about the hacking seemed to contain the advice not to panic, not to spend the gold, but to inform an admin of your last known gold count before the hack and I’m pleased to say the whole affaire went rather smoothly.
An announcement was put up shortly after the first reports of suspicious gold were sent to the staff, asking for members to post in that thread with their last known gold count. The perpetrator of this either stopped or was stopped before too much damage was caused and the admin manually amended the affected users gold counts. Repeat threads were locked quite promptly and Menewsha was returned to its normal self rather quickly. Although the lottery remains offline, and will stay that way until further notice.
As of yet there are no confirmed reports of who did this hack, or what sparked it. However, as always, there are rumours, generally whispered by people with no actual knowledge of the event. There are rumours that the new software will make events like these a thing of the past. Whether that’s true or not remains to be seen.

I'm debating whether or not if I should do a report over the whole discussion between Galy, the Staff, the users who support both sides and the effects it would have over the site as a whole. Gosh, that sounds like a term paper. XD

Lawls. That's pretty much the bases of it. XD
But honestly, it has me puzzled. A lot of things were mentioned in many discussions over the issue. ::feels all reporter-like::

Well all Galy has ever done is whine and be insulting. Months ago I started avoiding anything she posted in because she was just so rude and abusive to me. I'm not suprised she got banned. You can only be rude and abusive to so many users before it bites you in the ass and LeeD doesn't take things laying down like I do. She crossed the line being rude and insulting to the staff and throwing wild accusations around.

No LeeD shouldn't have banned her so publically. That was wrong, but yes, she should have been banned, and a lot sooner than she was to be honest.

Oh yes, that I agree with. The whole thing has peeked my interest since I saw bits and pieces of the MC suggestion thread that Jellysundae created, that eventually became the whole art theft accusations.

It reminds me of an incident that happened at my former college. A professor was "playfully" bothering students and bothering them over simple things. For example, taking a cigarette in mid drag and stomping it against the ground. I won't go into further details, but eventually the professor was fired for taking and breaking a students laptop.

*nod nod* Well I mean some of the things she said to other users out and about on a regular basis was enough to earn a warning. But there's something about Galy. The staff admitted she was let off with a lot of things because of her past.

It wasnt just that discussiion (read flame sesh), it was a lot of things. LeeD had enough and that was the last straw. Then she made a blank thread with FUCK YOU at the bottom and LeeD publically banned her.

Hm yea. I'll have to fine the one thread (if it wasn't deleted already). I do think it would be satisfying if the truth of both sides came to light to put the rumors and accusations to rest.

Well Galys friends have been told why she was banned and been given a lot of the facts, but they refuse to listen to them and just keep comming out with the staff are lying and Galy is completly innocent and other crap.

That I have seen. Heh. I can say that I have been on the fence since the beginning (how I came to know about it). I know both sides aren't completely in the right or in the complete wrong. Both made some not so great decisions about the whole situation.

I know LeeD could have gone about it better, and should have done so. His ill advised actions caused a lot of this to be public. I don't know why he did it. Maybe he wanted the drama, maybe he didn't engage his brain, but it was pretty obvious this would happen.

However I do support him in banning her. I don't think users should be allowed to be so rude to everyone and a lot of people felt intimidated or afraid of her. She made me really angry whenever I saw her. And that is why I support his decision to ban her, but moreover, I support the staff as a whole, because most of them didn't actually have anything to do with her ban, but are still getting the abuse for it.

Angel; I completely agree. I know many of the "what if" questions are popping up right now and that is to be excepted; however, the main one that I know has been on the mind of a few is "What if LeeD had done it this way?"

Hey, Rad. How goes?

No matter how LeeD had done it there'd still be an uproar to be honest. But if he had done it privately a lot of the uproar would have been over PMs, IMs and emails. I know a few people have said that they would have done things privately but as LeeD did it so publically they were going to do the same.
