Shundi Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 JohnG, I hope (you're a smart guy so I'm sure it's barely worth mentioning but for others) that you didn't use a username or password combination you use for other sites...could be a great way to farm personal info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 JohnG, I hope (you're a smart guy so I'm sure it's barely worth mentioning but for others) that you didn't use a username or password combination you use for other sites...could be a great way to farm personal info I used my same username, but I used a random password, a throw-away email (though the site doesn't require activation of membership so any false email would word), and an incorrect b-day. But yes, people should be careful - would be an easy way to hijack accounts on other sites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 They didn't ask to reprint my Photo tutorials, either. If this is (as it seems) Klinks site then we have a guy who has shown much contempt for Puggy turning around and stealing his work. Kinda makes you wonder how low a guy can go.

(Klink makes amends for being a [censored]..)" So, he offers an olive branch and rips off my work at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Much like I'll never return full-time to RWI until I get an apology for the Rubber Puggy incident they swept under the carpet, I doubt I'll be making Replicat my home.

Dave123 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 He has taken alot of RWI's subforums and members work and just added it to his forum... Even has 'VIP dealers' like Josh and the rest,making 'announcements',who are not even members.... A transplant of one forum over to his,not right.

fakemaster Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Dave. Knock it off with the Fakey forum thing. I have no beef with you. On that note. John.

LegendofSpeed Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 It is quite sad to see the username cybee banned here...not that I am questioning it... but he's a great guy and obviously, these are Klink's words and not his... so i don't know if it was actually him or Phil using his handle... either way, it's bad news... I recently sent Phil an e-mail to see if there was any way to mediate everything that happened.... he did a lot of bad things, but he's like that one member of your family that you want to help and not completely cast aside... that e-mail was unanswered and now, about 3-4 weeks later, I see this... I can not believe that Phil would destroy what little prestige he had in this community by creating a board that was full of lies.. he is obviously creating usernames and then posting as those people... i have been told that eurotimez is there and has a section... but i have also been told that every post is a copy of RWG posts.. but done as eutrotimez.... i can not imagine eurotimez being there per my convo's with him, and if he is, i will fully apologize.... but to see his username there with a section and posts without confirmation that it is truly him is troubling to say the least..

The crazy thing about it all, is I believe that it is illegal to impersonate another person, and something like this, could potentially come under a UK statute, Malicious Communications Act... I may be wrong, but if I'm right, who ever's doing this could wind up in serious trouble, if people were to take action for being impersonated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would go over well..... Any better ideas? I know it's probably not something which would be taken particularly seriously, unless said impersonation was to be making extremely defamatory, libelous or malicious statements, I was just pointing out the potential legal implications of impersonating another person... If anything, Pugwash would probably be in a better position to have action taken, due to unauthorized use of his intellectual properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
