Why are they bothering?
Written by damiende on January 27, 2008 – 1:37 pmAs some of you have noticed I recently had a case of bad spamming.
Why do they even bother every comment has to be approved by me and it takes me just a few seconds to delete childish comments. This time around I knew who was behind it and where he/she came from, thats why I approved those comments. I did it so that my other readers could see some people would do. The irony is that the only thing that came out of it was that they put Allakhazam in a bad light. Hell they even pretended to be the founder of Allakhazam while posting various childish comments. I even got a sms telling me that Allakhazam rulz and that my blog would get hacked.
What do I make of all this, first and foremost that my blog has struck a nerve. And that just makes me more determined to keep on blogging. I still post over at Allakhazam and will keep on doing so just for fun. Gotta love a place where the members are the moderators.
If some of you get a serious case of spamming I would advice you to just delete the spam. Unless it gets personal and you know where the poster comes from. Then you should approve their comments for a little while so others can see how they behave. If you know the forum he/she comes from say so. And if you do know their identity on the forum he/she comes from tell them that if they don’t stop you will publish it.
And of course you should behave at your best. Never scoop to their level.
Until next time

Blizzard cracks down on battleground cheaters
Written by damiende on January 13, 2008 – 8:50 pmRecently cheaters has appeared on the official forums and complained about getting a temporarily suspension for going afk in battlegrounds. I have to say I enjoy the fact that they lose honor and items gained from honor.
Some people might argue that its kinda harsh to punish afk cheaters with a suspension and even a ban. And it might be a bit harsh to ban someone permanently. At least they should give them a temporarily suspension first. Players getting suspended is also affecting other players, some of these players might lose out on raiding and stuff like that. So my guess is that in near future we will see a bunch of cheaters that are getting kicked out of their guilds.
The spam in Ironforge the other night was intense. It looks like the goldspammers are taking turns creating accounts and start spamming. Its getting really annoying at times and I wish that they will be slapped hard with a class action lawsuit. I did a little checking on the website they advertise for. And it’s registered in China. When you register a domain you have to give up your real name and address and failure to do so is enough to lose the domain and hosting. Its tempting to contact the hosting company and tell them about whats going on. Who knows maybe they will do something even if they are Chinese.
All I know is that Blizzard will have to do something soon to stop the spammers. If it gets worse then its now people will get seriously mad. Yesterday it was so bad that as soon as I reported one spammer another one started up. If things are going to be like that in the future lots of angry players will report these morons. And even quit like players did in Ffxi when the rmt problem got to bad.
My time in Azeroth is spent doing quests in Blades Edge Mountains and doing some battlegrounds. I even took a trip to Area 52 to finish a quest. I have one week left before I start working again and my goal is to get to at least level 69 before that.
Until next time
