Why is Harry banned?

I saw his name in grey, then saw "Banned" under his name.

What did he do?

I think he got hacked

No, he was annoying the staff with his IRC Network… thingy.

Thats stupid then… they need to stop hating on harry

Mass highlighting and mass noticing on IRC too as far as I know. It's probably just a temporary ban.

Umm.. I thought IRC was separate from forum bans. Kinda gay if it isn't.

he's always getting banned, oh well, he always comes back too.

Way to just try to fit in with everyone else

Seriously guys… every time someone has to comment on Harry. If he's banned then he is banned for a reason. Harry should not receive any special treatment and be just as equally judged as everyone else is.

Quite frankly he has been given serious leniency to what he has done on forums/irc countless times and has been constantly treated as a "special" case. Which personally I'm getting sick of.

Now, while I think the shit he pulls on irc is bull shit, on the forums he's fine. I think the staff is have a hard time separating them. They get so pissed at him on the irc he says your wrong hes banned(just thought of this, not true).

I agree with Narcle, He's been a douche to me in the past. and always seems to be on the edge of the rules. I will say that he has shaped up recently on the forums however. Enough to warrant an unbanning/special attention/treatment? I have my views, but they're just that, mine :p

Were you on last night?

He changed his signature to something really offensive, he had pornography as it for awhile and swore in every post and was spamming, etc. He was banned for a reason.

We sure he wasn't hacked?

I can reasonably assume he just changed his password.

And someone like Harry probably has a pretty strong one…if you know what I mean

He needs to mature a little bit also and not push people the way he does.

To elaborate. He has been given plenty of chances and he is always trying to see how much he can get away with. He is constantly walking the line between too far and almost too far and has yet to see any consequences.

And saying that the staff has a hard time separating this is far off…I think it is harry that has a HUGE problem separating this. He always brings shit up about people on IRC and how he doesn't like something. HE BRINGS IT TO THE FORUMS…so if he is going to bring the IRC shit onto the forums then the staff have the right to do as they wish.

He is banned because he was supposedly hacked. Not because of the IRC Network thread.

Then why is he still banned on the irc >.> ?

The IRC is different story. I was just stating that he is banned on the forums because he may have been hacked. The ban on IRC has nothing to do with this ban.

Alright, then I retract all my previous statements.

This hacking is annoying, are we going to have to add a scrambled lettered picture to the log in screen now to stop macroing?

Well, unless harry was lieing about how "strong his pass was" they aren't just randomly guessing passwords.

1. pass
2. red
3. purple

5. password
6. mynameisearl
(numbers + letters)
7. lpearl123

8. LpEaRl123
(spaces)
9.hy 49593 pH
(long)
10. 4 J ab3 109 B4a h
ect..

define 'strong'

because if you get to line 7 in terms of security strength or past you need a damn good cracker. i.e. brute force strength instead of notepad list.

What kind of hacking are we looking at?

Forum side? Harry's computer side? Both? Does anyone know?! :confused:

I don't know what it was, but he was bragging on how strong is was. But if it was really strong then they might be using an exploit. But then again why wouldn't he go for the admins. My moneys on harry pass was shit.

True, he would go for admins. (this rules out exploit in my opinion)

I bet Harry was key logged via trojan/virus or a cookie stealer.

I doubt he was cracked/brute forced.

A bunch of people have been being hacked though

I hate the word "hacked"……it just seems to be a "get me out of trouble" card.

Keep him banned. Im sick of his crap. Its gone waay to far.

Possibly, but how would we know for sure? Can you really permanently ban someone off pure assumption?

You guys are real smart, what if you had been hacked should we have just left you banned? Think of what it's like to be in someone else's shoes for a minute.

i was 'hacked' by this person and i still have no clue whats happening about it all

and im almost positive that it is all being done by stealing cookies because i never told anyone my pass, ran any new scripts/programs but got my pass stolen by typing random letters in a thread Zasz or the man posted about a potential scammer

also if anyone was on last night they would have seen the posts by harry

Good choice admins :)
Harry farewell hopefully.

did u not read any of the thread?

he was banned because he wasnt in control of his account

yea that's what they all say…
lol w/e. Still happy that his name is gray.

the same guy changed my pass like a week ago and nothing has been done

and why are you so happy to see harry banned?

It's very easy to see if he's hacked by if another IP accessed his account.

Also, scroll up in the thread for why people are. There's a difference between insisting fairness while looking ignorantly at what has come to pass and fairness while evaluating the evidence - don't blindly defend him purely because he can not or as you dislike the staff or the job they do, but defend him because you have seen what there is and think that he honestly deserves another chance. It also helps when you don't assume he was banned because the staff are being immature and suppressing his "freedom of speech".

From: therealbonfield

I'm assuming because Harry got mad at him for mass-inviting to a convo on MSN, so he posted a thread about it. He didn't like that, so he trolled Harry back. The trolling went on for a little while, then it got locked. And here we are now, with an apparently still mad p1nky. Though there may be another reason I'm not aware of…

The hacker made a poor choice as I doubt Harry needs one's help to get banned :rolleyes:

Harry had to do it. We will never see him again.

That was me who posted it.

The site might have stolen the cookies then. Still does not explain why it did not get my password.

I typed my ACTUAL pass and username there the first time. However, I changed my password after I saw 110mb in the URL (almost instantly after I submitted the form). But I also entered random things in it after I changed the password…I'm not entirely sure how they hacked you guys though.

Now as far as I know he got "hacked" after Markus b& him from IRC, and then "the other guy" started some huge flamefest and posting gay porn etc. Pretty convenient timing for the other guy to start some butthurt rampage.

And immediately after I hear he started flaming or whatever he did I knew 100% he'll pull the "i got haxd not my fault :<<" card out of his ass and use it and voilá, unbanned and he's innocent. And of course no-one will question this and he will get away with his crap again.

In Harry's case I'd like to see some evidence he even got hacked… Or could I just enable a proxy and start posting all kinds of filth around and then just say "hey, it wasn't me!" and get away with it? I really don't understand why he deserves special treatment.

A question was asked, and it was answered.

There is nothing else to be discussed..

No… I was gonna mention him to be banned either way. Its like hes bringing 4chan to srl. His posts were mostly snobby, and obnoxious. I dont care if you agree with me or not, but im sure atleast half of this community wants him out. Him being hacked was a blessing.

Well i would of been upset if i was not unbanned after my hacking.

So someone clarify this to me, do you get your shit stolen if you type to some thread?

He wasn't hacked.

From: Markus
He wasn't hacked.

you could sorta tell by the way he posted stuff

its pretty immature just for getting banned from IRC

so was he the supposed 'f4 hacker' or is that somone else?

Someone else I think.

That is just what I was thinking what happened, and to add to this theory, it was conveniently timed quite shortly after he was banned from the IRC.

Lol, this reminds me of the auto trade off where two people would "hack eachothers accounts" (by trading/changing passwords/ IPs) on runescape and macro until they get banned and when Jagex comes bitching in they just claimed they were hacked and get unbanned everytime.

Quite annoying, for all we know Harry was using a proxy and "hacked himself" maybe you guys should at least unban him until this is all sorted out so he can defend himself?

Innocent until proven(sufficient atleast) guilty?

so he's perm banned X)?
