WHY DO WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING THIS DRASTIC PROBABLY BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY WAY WE WILL EVER GET THE ATTENTION OF ANYONE AT SLIDE/SPP. LADIES AND GENTS THERE ARE WOLVES IN THE HENHOUSE AND TO DATE SLIDE HAS DONE LITTLE TO NOTHING TO FIX THE D.A.M.N.E.D PROBLEM. I WAS READY TO QUIT THIS APP A FEW DAYS AGO BUT MY WIFE TALKED ME OUT OF IT BY REMINDING ME I HAVE NEVER RUN FROM A FIGHT IN MY LIFE. THIS MORNING I AWOKE TO THIS MESS http://superpokepets.com/spp/trading_post/topic tid=AAAAAAAAAAA5XNmLa8626puQey8OQXZt&page;=1 DEBBIE, A FRIEND OF MINE, HAD HER ACCOUNT HACKED AND ALL HER GOLD ITEMS STOLEN DAYS AGO. WHAT WAS SLIDES RESPONSE TO HER EMAILS...WELL READ THE POST. IF IT WASN'T SO SAD IT WOULD BE FUNNY. IN RECENT WEEKS I HAVE WATCHED MY FRIENDS GET THEIR ACCOUNTS SUSPENDED FOR DAYS BECAUSE THEY WENT OFF ON A SCAMMER AND USED A CUSS WORD BUT THE SCAMMER WAS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE BUSINESS OR SHOULD I SAY STEALING AS USUAL. MAKES ME WONDER IF THERE ISN'T AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN SPP AND THE SCAMMERS. I MEAN IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING STOLEN YOU NEED TO BUY MORE GOLD TO TRADE WITH TO REPLACE WHAT YOU HAD STOLEN. GOOD FOR THE BOTTOM LINE ISN'T IT PERSONALLY I THINK THIS IS A BIT BACKWARDS ISN'T IT. REWARDING THE WOLF SO TO SPEAK. NOW TIME AND TIME AGAIN WE ARE GIVEN A SHODDY PRODUCT AND WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG WE ARE TOLD THAT IT IS OUR FAULT. I CAN TELL YOU THIS. I AM A MASTER CARPENTER AND IF I DID SHODDY WORK FOR A CUSTOMER MY A.S.S. WOULD BE IN COURT DEFENDING MYSELF IN A LAWSUIT. BUT ON SPP THE SCAMMERS ARE ALLOWED TO CONDUCT THEFT AS USUAL. ANYONE REMEMBER WHEN A SHOUTOUT OF THANKS WAS GIVEN TO A KNOWN SCAMMER THAT WAS SO SWEET OF SPP WASN'T IT AND SCAMMERS ARE NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM. WE HAVE A FORUM THAT HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON IT. HOW MANY MODERATORS I THINK THERE IS....OH YEAH. ZERO!!!! ONCE IN A BLUE MOON YOU SEE AN ADMIN POP IN BUT THAT IS USUALLY BECAUSE SOMEONE IS THREATENING LEGAL ACTION OR TALKING TO THE FBI'S CYBER CRIMES UNIT. TO THE ADMINS HERE. TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF CRIME AND THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BUT YOU DON'T MAKES YOU AN ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT TO THEFT. IN DEBBIE'S CASE IT WOULD BE FELONY THEFT. I GUESS THEY THINK SINCE THIS IS JUST A GAME THAT IT IS NOT BREAKING THE LAW. WAKE UP SPP, WE SPENT REAL MONEY ON THESE ITEMS YOU SO NONCHALANTLY DISMISS. I DON'T CARE IF IT IS A BUNCH OF PIXELS THAT I CAN NEVER HOLD IN MY HAND. THOSE DEAD PRESIDENTS YOU TOOK FROM ME WERE REAL SO THAT MAKES THE THEFT OF THEM VERY MUCH REAL. IN ADDITION TO THIS TECHNICALLY SINCE THE ITEMS DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SERVERS AREN'T YOU RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY AND STILL THE LIST GOES ON...... HOW ABOUT MY SECURITY PROGRAM POPPING UP A CUTE LITTLE WINDOW TELLING ME SPP IS NO LONGER A TRUSTED SITE BECAUSE THEY LOST THEIR SECURITY CERTIFICATE. BTW I USE AVG FOR MY SECURITY. SAME PROGRAM USED BY THE FEDS. SO IT IS A GOOD ONE!!! HOW ABOUT OUR CUTE LITTLE FIASCO YESTERDAY ON THE MASTERPIECE SALE. WHOOO BOY. ANYONE WHO MISSED THAT NEEDS TO GO VISIT THE TECH ROOM AND READ THAT ONE. IT'S CUTE. HAS ANYONE HERE EVER PM'D AN ADMIN OTHER THAN MIKE AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE OR RECEIVED IT WEEKS LATER. THAT IS EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM A COMPANY THAT ADMITTEDLY IS A 500 MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR ORGANIZATION. HAS ANYONE HERE EVER BEEN PUT INTO TIMEOUT THE MESSAGE YOU GET SAYS YOU ARE BEING PUT INTO TIMEOUT SO YOU CAN THINK ON HOW YOU ARE INFLUENCING THE GAME. I AM SORRY BUT IF MY FRIENDS GET TIME OUT FOR USING A CUSS WORD BUT THE SCAMMER IS ALLOWED TO MERRILY KEEP ON STEALING WHAT IS THAT TEACHING OUR CHILDREN I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT TEACHES THEM. IT'S OK TO STEAL AS LONG AS YOU DON'T CUSS WHEN YOU DO IT!!!!!!! HOW ABOUT SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS KEEPING THE TIME STAMPS ON POSTS IN THE FORUM CORRECT I AM SORRY PEOPLE I AM JUST A LITTLE TO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW TO KEEP TYPING BECAUSE THE MORE I SIT HERE AND THINK ABOUT IT THE MADDER I GET. RIGHT NOW I AM READY TO TELL SPP TO TAKE THIS ACCOUNT OF MINE AND SHOVE WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY REASONS WHY WE SHOULD BOYCOTT THE PURCHASE OF GOLD PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD THEM HERE BEFORE THIS POST IS DELETED. I AM FAIRLY SURE IT WILL BE AND I WILL GET ONE OF THOSE CUTESY LITTLE MESSAGES TELLING ME I NEED TO LEARN TO PLAY IN THE SANDBOX A LITTLE BETTER WITH MY FELLOW SPP-ERS. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM BEYOND THE POINT OF CARING!! SUSPEND ME, BAN ME DO WHAT EVER THE HEII YOU WANT. WHEN THE ONLY RESPONSE YOU GET FROM SPP IS AN OSTRICH IMPERSONATION, THEN WHY SHOULD I CARE. DON'T KNOW WHAT AN OSTRICH IMPERSONATION IS THATS EASY...BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND PRAY THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY....LOL YOUR FRIEND IN SPP BRUCE
