AH is just trying to get one of his DL's to take the fall for him

[Alexander's Horse]

The Mingbots are closing in

[Ming]

Hmmm... AH said he was sending me an email... nothing received yet. No real information from anybody then.

So... If this doesn't change "shortly"...
AH and EVC will get two weeks, and Hydey will get one...

It's up to you guys now... this game will end very soon.

[Alexander's Horse]

Hey leave Hydey out of this, he's just a crazy mixed up kid.

*a nurse shepherds Hydey from the siege house through the Mingbot cordon*

EVC! Get that gun out of your mouth!

[Ming]

Well AH... I got your PM. However, as we all know, you could easily have created the evidence you provided.

So here is the deal.
EVC, please contact me via the email account you are registered at Apolyton with. That is the only way that I can even hope to know that it's actually from you. Don't use your PM since it is obvious that others may have your password.

You won't be able to post, because as of now, you account is restricted. And it will NOT be activated UNLESS you communicate with me via email.

And, if you don't respond soon, AH will also get restricted since he really doesn't provide any solid evidence escept a possibly made up PM.

Time is running out for you AH... you better get your buddy to respond for you. Because even if what you say is true, you have broken many rules!

Oh, and your PM did serve one purpose... Hydey is off the hook!

[Alexander's Horse]

Hey that isn't fair Ming. I provided you the evidence you requested to get me off the hook. I don't have any way to contact EVC - my home comp is down, so I don't have icq and I'm at work anyway.

I'm cooperating

Hey EVC! Give it up Man! The game is up!

[Ming]

Hmmm... why don't you give me permission to review your PM's...
Then I could see if you actually received the one you sent me

[Alexander's Horse]

How do I do that?

*next he'll want to see my underwear drawer*

[Ming]

I can look up your password and then use it to access ANYTHING in your account including your PM's. However, I don't do that for privacy reasons. That goes beyond the bounds of my authority.
They are called PM's for a reason. I will not that violate that.

However, tell me it's ok, and I will go into your PM file and see if you actually received a PM from EVC's account (notice how I phrased that)... While it may not be absolute proof, since you could have used your access to his account to send yourself a PM... but at least it would be as start in the right direction...

I would only look at any incoming PM that is attributed to EVC, and nothing else. If it is there in your file, the burden will then fall onto EVC to prove differently. You would be off the hook.
While you did break rules, at least you are helping us sort it out.

So... what do you think?

You mean that vBB use a reversible encryption of passwords in the db?

WHy did I ignore this thread for so long.

So here is the deal.

... if it was a game you guys set up... I don't care.
But one of you gets suspended. If EVC can prove that AH got his password from his PROT log on... you are toast AH. If AH can prove that EVC gave him the password, and it was all a game, EVC gets wacked.

This is the deal I'm cooperating with: Note the phrase "one of you gets suspended."

And by the way, as far as I know I don't have access to passwords on the PROT site and I don't think EVc has ever registered there - though I did get one post from someone purporting to to be him.

[Ming]

While I did indeed say exactly what you quoted...
Later on in that very same post I also said:

And if neither one of you is believable, you both get the ax.

So I'm still following what I posted. What you offered up isn't very good proof, since it could have been "made up" in less than a minute or so...

So what do you think. Can I look at any PM you received from EVC. If it is there, and it matches the date... you win

If not... this game will end now, one way or another.
Without that proof, I have a IP address and server match that YOU used his account. That is against the rules!

Up to you.

Sorry, perhaps you could show me where in the FAQ (blessed are those who follow it) it says you can't use someone's else's account with their permission? We aren't even talking about a DL here (I don't know what you'd call it actually).

But never mind about that

Before you look at my PM's I'll have to clean them up. The password is "F*ck you Ming* or something like that - so I'll have to change that first

Also I have a mountain of PM's from dozens of posters complaining about your poor moderation decisions and calling you all sorts of names that aren't fit for polite company.

I'll have to delete those first okay
