    Some How some Way a Certin Forum Member got access to the ModCP where they should have have, this has caused them to be able to edit member Profiles

    Below is the List of Profiles he edited over the last 3 days,

    Sorry I did not catch this sooner, I normally monitor the log files closly, must I been asleep .

    Like I have told everyone before, nothing can get by me, every action the mods take is recored, so how this person thought he would not get cought I dont know

    Frankly, I don't find it amusing that the fucker got into my profile and changed my website addresss, which was my buisness site, to the Elemental Designs website.

    I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but that is not funny.

    I think if they are going to be digging in peoples personal stuff and changing buisness website links, they should be banned. I don't give a fuck if it were my wife that did it, that is bullshit.

    If the fucker that did this has any privledges, I suggest immediate revocation of any Mod, developer, etc status.

    And whoever did this, very fucking funny, and fuck you.

    How do you know who did it, if they logged in as a moderator?
    Or was this someone that inadvertantly had moderator power, who wasn't supposed to?

    At least they didn't edit mine... my password strategy must be working! :gunsmilie:

    I don't see anything different on mine. ;)

    Missed ya Jeff. Glad that you are able to come back, and not be gay. :lmfao:

    And BTW, I'm having a little difficulty with Trillian. The last time we talked, I moved our discussion screen out of the way to the bottom, and now I can't see it. That is why I didn't respond last time. I tried. I wasn't ignoring you. :bye:

    Anyone know how to fix that?

    1-2-3-4-5 isn't a very good "strategy". Just ask President Screw.

    Just the Clear up the Confusion, it was my Fualt, When I was Editing the Moderators for all the Forums, I inadvertaly Selected "Members" instead of "Moderators" for the member Group that moderates the Site Feedback Forum, This Software Allows the Selection of a Single Person, or a Group of People to Moderate any forums, some of the Lesser Used Forums I have made Moderatable by any Mod, thus the whole moderatore Group is Selected


    This Person was/is in no way a Moderator, and Should have never had access to the information.

    I dont know how long it has been like that, I do know thay before the 16th of this month Me and Seth are the only 2 to have taken "moderator actions" and all of them were called for. Most of the actions were my doing

    As far as how I know who did it, any Action Taken at a moderator level, i.e. Delting posts, Moving Posts, Editing Profiles etc is Logged and show up in my Administor Contol Panel, it is all Seperated by Name of the "mod" and tells me what action was taken, by whom, towards whom, and what time it occured..

    I have sent him a PM warning, I will not publicly disclose who it was, but my Mods will moe than likoly be notified soon so they can watch this person closly.

    He has also Stated to have recived a PM statng he has the Ablity to edit it, I am still looking in o that one, Maybe it was a AutoPM generated when I made the error, anyone else get a PM like this?

    No Chris.

    While I am able to do that, I will not go into your personal space. There are certain lines that should not be crossed, and that is definately beyond that line.

    I never look at anything that you, or any other member cannot access. The only moderation I do (and really need to do) is seperate posts that have gone off topic, and the blonde moment I had when I hit "edit" instead of "quote" on Chris' (BlkX's) post in the thread about glassing door panels. I did correct my error when he pointed it out ;)

    :ban: the moderator !!! :p

    i'm not trying to piss you off but that's pretty freakin hilarious....

    while the stuff never shoulda been done, at least it was generally harmless stuff, and you're the only other person who noticed that it had been changed, or i'm sure someone on the board woulda brought it up to you on here....

    sorry to everyone who had theirs done but it coulda been much worse :2guns:

    It kinda aggervated me a little, but it was nothing too bad. However, the more I thought about it, I wondered why would have written that, which led me to believe that it wasn't you bc it made no sense.

    Either way all is good... B)

    I don't think it was harmless. The only reason nobody caught it was because this was posted about an hour after the change was made. What if it had been weeks? or months?

    What if someone were looking at peoples sites looking for install ideas and sub ideas and clicked on my link and saw the ED site? Maybe they buy 2 15As, yet if they would have seen my site, the may have bought 2 B15s. That is alot of cash out of my pocket, and I don't consider that harmless.

    I'm not pissed at the humor you find in it, but calling it "nothing" is simply vastly understating what the cost could have been to me. I still see no humor in it, and I still feel the fucker should be banned.
