  1. Haven't been on this forum in a while! Here's my 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Superbee
  2. I see your 136, and raise you: 307/1 (KD: 307) NQ2
  3. Okay.. this is an.. interesting conversation. Social Engineering is using any communication means to gain access or information illicitly. It's engineering the responses or scenarios you want, socially. Phishing is what it sounds like, fishing. It's throwing out a line and waiting for a bite. Like say someone created a fake F|A website that looked exactly the same, but when you logged in using your real information, instead of being checked by the SQL server, it was sent in plain text to the person owning that fake website. They'd then have your real information to log on to, using the real website. It's fishing though, because you never know if you're going to get a catch or lose it. Both of these methods generally require each other in context, such as social engineering someone to your phishing website, or using the phishing details to social engineer someone else. The method the OP is talking about though is plain social engineering, you don't need to create a fake website to get the information. You just need to talk to a person, pretending you're someone else, to get what you want.
  4. Funny how FixYa has an iPhone app, "Apple" as it's top brand, and is a private company founded by partners (Aka the companies they plug). Gotta love interwebs.
  5. Some OC taken at a private garage I had entered unlawfully..
  6. Oh, so it's you that puts those mines in that flowerpot! I always wondered.. Nice tutorial though, even I learned a couple things.
  7. Well it didn't start on 4chan like that sick #Cut4Bieber shit.
  8. I don't even know what award this would go under. It should be s!lent #2, the server name is F|A BEGINNERS #2 XPS. 231/5
  9. How dare you say my massive walls of text weren't necessary! :<
  10. Roadkill was trusted with his admin level, whatever it may be, simply because the general staffing felt he was ready to make those high-level choices on his own. If he chooses not to confer with other members on his actions, that's his choice. I think taking this to a public forum with such apparent "vendetta" and "anger" is slightly uncalled for. If you want to continue with your statement that he was in the wrong, maybe you should PM him on the forums or in-game and get the answer to your questions. If you want to have a discussion about XP Whoring, then this thread would have purpose. But from what I can see at this late hour, it seems like you're just holding a grudge at this point.
  11. You're getting the wrong impression from my statement, please try not to put statements into my.. fingers.. that I would never say I believe every player should get treated with respect, period. Admin levels mean nothing on a game, when it comes to respect. I'm not going to call you a faggot because you're a level 1, and then kiss Joe's ass because he's a 20. I believe every player, no matter their level, xp, name, gender, nationality, or any other factor, should get treated with the same respect. As for the rest of your statement, I have done nothing but agree with you over and over in my previous statements. I personally have no problem with your gameplay, as your "XP Whoring" was helping the team and not breaking any current F|A rules. Like I've also said, the conditions and circumstances are always varying, and should be looked at in each complaint when it comes to a grey-area such as this. Continuing, as it's a "grey-area", it should be up to each admin's own choice as to how they'd treat this situation, based on those conditions and such. If, say, there's one player doing it, and they're active at it, it shouldn't be a problem. If there's 4 or 5 people doing it, which would be destroying the balance of the teams, they should get a warning or same-level appropriate action. It is a Fun server, you can do what you want, and in this case I believe, personally, that you were in the right. But I'm not going to go around saying you can do what you want based on your activity on the server or forums, I'll go around saying you can do what you want simply because it's a server and clan based on the principle of having fun, and every player has that right. That's all I'm saying. I'm not calling you out or trying to argue.
  12. I'm not saying the admin in question made the right or wrong choice, I'm simply stating my opinion on XP whoring. However, I just want to point out that, again in my opinion, if you're a "community regular" or not, you shouldn't get special treatment that other players wouldn't get (Besides the obvious trust of admin levels). You're still just a regular player, just like I'm still a regular player. That being said, I wouldn't consider your actions "special treatment" in this case, as I would allow any player, given the circumstances, to do what you were doing.
