Domo Backpack ate my head....
Crazy adventures in this world we call, GAIA.
I am *now* a true Gaia Online user!!!!!
I can now truly call myself a true Gaia Online user, because I have recieved a [Mod] PM. blaugh OH JOY~! Now, let's break it down sentence by sentence and see what's wrong.

User Image


Of Course Gaia Staff does not have the ugly [MOD] word infront of their names. Those only goes to the [NPC] characters that DO NOT PM users and asking them for their password. Secondly, Gaia doesn't go around PMing people who have been reported for hacking. First of all, that would be stupid because it's like giving a heads up to the Hacker. So he can have time to escape with his stolen goods.

And "please message us as fast as you can with your account username and password..." is pretty stupid...why do you need it? All throughout Gaia and in the PMs, Gaia ask people not to give out your password...(but some people actually get tricked easily and ignore the big bolded warning signs).

Then there's that IP ban. Gaia doesn't do IP bans because IP bans...well I'll leave it at that. Plus, if they are Gaia Moderators why do they have Sincerely, Gaia Adminstrators at the end?

OH they made my night!


So remember guys...Gaia Online will never ask you for your password. Nor they need it to begin with. The only people that need the passwords are the people who wishes to steal your stuff.

If you're not sure just look at Complete List of Admins, Mods and Helpers.

And remember, Gaia staff have COLORS in their names not the ugly [MOD] word.

Dedicated Moderator
Helpers
Globals Moderators
Omni Moderator
Administrators
[NPC]s Are NPCs for a reason. Non-Playable



[edit] ~> Plus look at the recent increase of fake [MOD] accounts:

You're finally assimilating back into a civillian-Gaian lifestyle. I'm surprised they would do that to you, though.

Must be the Halo.

Apparently natural selection and karma isn't working fast enough to get rid of these idiots.

Though it is pretty funny some simpleton is sending something like that to try and trick "Arwen". rofl

Arwen is now a true Gaia Online User. But apparently people still aren't aware that I am a mod. I got sent one of those about a month ago. >_O Either he was a very dumb hacker or sent it intentionally. ...which would still make him dumb, but my job easier.

This must be a very memorable moment for you.

I get one of them almost every week, suprised they only got to you now. xd


commentCommented on: Wed Dec 20, 2006 @ 01:20am
What baffles me is that people actually fall for this...
I got my first one of these PM's on my main account a few days ago. I must say I had quite a laugh about it.

Hello, I've gotten a few of those types of PM's on my other account. I know exactly what gaia warns people of, and when I get those types of PM's I report them. It's also good of gaia mods to warn people about that so good job all gaia mods n.n

Here's another variation of this, which I"ve recently got.

Quote:
You have been suspected of hacking other gaians. We as the gaian admins require your password to check your trade history for any signs of hacking. If You cooperate and we do find signs of hacking your banning will be temporary. If you choose not to cooperate your banning will be permanent.

-The Gaia Moderating Team-

Dear Gaian, Our server that lets us go in automatically has had a malfunction
So now we have to do things the hard way.


The last sentence is the stupidest of the whole message xD
Plus "temporary banning" after finding someone guilty od hacking? xD


commentCommented on: Fri Jan 05, 2007 @ 12:15am
Lawl!


Does anyone see the horrible spelling they have?

"[mod]adnim"


xDDDD

that's really scary how many [MOD] accounts there are. >_<


commentCommented on: Thu Jan 11, 2007 @ 10:25pm
Screw L.O.T.R

Internet Stupidity

This wins the golden globe. xD


Roffle, I'm still not a true gaia online user, I've never gotten one of those messages.

H'oh Noes!

Mind you if I ever do get one I am totally replying with

Username: FudgeCake

Password: H'ohsnappzzzwhatismypassword?

Holy crap! The [MOD] Accounts, that scares me.....a little.

Then again it's not anything truly suprising, gaia's increasing scamming and hacking problem is getting uhm..... Serious?

ROFFLEz

My best friend tried to hack me a few days back because I was trying to ruin her life apparently. The Drama! D<

Like a hacker PMed me on my friend's old account and said really mean stuff and I can't exactly remember. So my friend called me (we are friends in real life) and said "Stop Them, figure out my password anything!" So I finally did and changed her password to something no one will every remember. Actually I slammed the keyboard. And I know keeping your password to yourself is a rule in the ToS, but my friend and I thought that if we change the password than we could maybe stop the hacker.


commentCommented on: Wed Jan 17, 2007 @ 01:38am
Ah yes.

I hate those pms.

I'd like to add (I'm telling something to a retired mod? eek ) that it says to read the ToS and Rules and Guidelines. In the ToS it basically says to keep your password to yourself.
