Blatherdome 4: My Resignation

[Col. Khaddafi]

Onar, I was going to use my own words to answer to your request for having your account deleted, but I remembered that I would just use your own words when you were refusing to delete accounts on your site over inconsequential drama issues. Thanks for saving me the time

[Col. Khaddafi]

So I was never a gutter member. And have no horse in this race. So will someone please explain to me what the absolute fuck is happening in this thread? There's accusations of lies, Godwin's Law, etc. and I have no clue what's going on.

Oh yeah that is something that definitely deserves his own thread. I've been discussing the machining of some super-duplex billets at some factory but now I am available again to take care of serious forum drama business

So who haxroed what? Or is being accused of haxroing or what? wut?

[Col. Khaddafi]

I'm waiting for some independent confirmation but if everything goes well I'll post a detailed rundown of my findings tonight. I've been piecing stuff for the last 3 weeks in and out (in between irl work).

[( G_R )]

I don't even

[rezombad]

Please break it down as if I am a complete idiot and you are talking to me one on one. Because I'm an idiot and I have to be talked down to.

My account of things:

- A post by *someone* appeared, with a picture *someone* (same person) submitted to the Dead Gutter (may god keep it) a while ago.
- *Someone else* didn't think *someone* would ever pop their posting cherry in DTR by posting that particular picture of themselves, and started voicing concerns about that account being hacked by *a given administrator of this site*.
- GR checked the post and easily realized what had happened, as it is something easily done by administrators and that actually happens on a daily basis when admin account posts are changed to the person who posts them.
- GR stepped in the thread assuring to everyone that no account had been hacked, whatsoever, as this is not the case.
- GR then demonstrated how that could be done without hacking accounts, by changing a post of himself to appear as if posted by this site's creator, an account not easily hacked by means of Admin CP access.

- *Someone else*'s concerns were eased by this demonstration, and that should have been the end of it, except a *third party* was still equating this mod abuse to hacking.
- GR then proceeded to acknowledge that it was mod abuse, and (again) made it clear that no one here has claimed to NOT be morally corrupt.
- *Third party* then proceeded to ragequit a mafia game, with a post that started with the words, and I quote "Call me a little bitch".
- Upon reading said words, GR couldn't resist and made a joke post telling *third party* that he was a little bitch.
- *Third party* took it personal and replied with hostility, which was met by a GR in a not-so-good-mood because fuck Mondays.
- GR then proceeded to return hostility in the form of trolling, then quoting his sig, immediatelly followed this smiley: because he realized that the thing in the sig did not apply to said post.
- GR's mistake was forgetting
that subtlety and sarcasm are not well parsed by web browsers.
- *Third party* made his sig about GR, linking him to the Nazi flag, which could be an insult in some cultures. lol not mine.
- GR took the opportunity to have some fun with it, but he made the same mistake noted above.
- *Russian person* stepped in calling GR a liar, for Jeebus knows what.
- GR proceed to ask what it was about.
- *Russian person*s answer was a carbon copy of the answer Talore had given GR the day before on Talore's helpdesk.
- GR wants to laugh, but he's too baffled to understand what he's laughing about.

you call fellow staff " third party" , is this not a insult?


ok GR , Pend told his true feelings , rather then either answer or let it be : you insult him . That is why I wish to block you and leave this site.

[( G_R )]

Because feelings?

[( G_R )]

And *third party* is not a member of staff.

[( G_R )]

And what good would it be blocking me if you were going to leave the site?

[( G_R )]

I want to block myself now.

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

Jesus fucking Christ

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

Way to leave site... Log off... forget password

[rezombad]

I think I get it, I had all the pieces but wasn't sure how they fit together.

So pendy thought hax, you said 'not hax, any admin can change who posted a post.' pendy says, 'mod abuse' you say 'lol watevs'

buttmad ensues

ExarionUniverse1 posts cryptic buttmad



--That the long and short of it?

[( G_R )]

You sir have earned my thanks.

[( G_R )]

But who will earn my 69th thanks? THAT is something to ponder about...

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

Give it to me you dirty fucker

[Col. Khaddafi]

I want to block myself now.

Well you can! I just edited the forum software so that admins can be added as foes!

Case solved, everyone can be happy now!

[rezombad]

adding admins as foes creates XSS vulnerability.

[( G_R )]

You have to tell me how you did it, I really tried that this morning, to no avail.

Aha! Something I cannot HACK. GJ.

[rezombad]

Now ignore everyone on the forum.

[Col. Khaddafi]

lol J/k love you hermano, I can't stand to live without reading your posts.

Oh, there it goes. 69

Despite all the propaganda, I'm no haxxor expert (It took me almost a year to detect malicious attacks on this website) but I believe this shouldn't be an issue, but do tell.

[Col. Khaddafi]

thank you for thanking!

I'm just blathering. I'm way too busy to pentest anything nowadays.

[Col. Khaddafi]

Oh, you're just making topical posts like Stardust. My bad.

[rezombad]

Apology accepted.

[Kaitscralt]

All admins should put each other on ignore so that we can never summit

[rezombad]

You have to coordinate by proxy, making your proxies the most powerful users. Able to spread disinformation and doubt among the other admins or the userbase in general.

[Kaitscralt]

I like that idea, can I use Teia as my proxy again
