"Virtual Flogging"

I'm back and I'm purple. It seems that I've been made the scapemonkey for what transpired at the weekend, but I'm still not convinced I did anything other highlight a site bug. Anyway, I'm not bitter - just rabid and foaming. You can give me a virtual spank in this thread if you want. My butt is alrady raw red though, but still, do your best.

i hope you have learnt a lesson =)

Welcome back monkey man

e-mail who though?? When I dicovered the problem, I didn't have any of the staff's e-mail adresses, they weren't available on the site, and there was no way I could find them out.

yes... E-Mail

Yes, I remember that happening to me too, when I hacked the site, they didn't ban me, but one member of staff shouted at me, and blamed the whole mess on me. And I could swear that at the time, there was a site improvement competition going on where I suggested that there should be a clearly labelled page where people can privately contact members of staff about problems concerning the safety and privacy of the site, but surely they took that suggestion into accout right?

But didnt SR state at the time that if anyone finds any other problems that shouting about it on the forums wasnt the way to go about things?

Reported a site bug that would have enabled you to do anything from posting pictures of porn, to making the site unusable (yes, that could have been done). Then it got out of control. There's no way I could have put it in the Site Bugs forum without someone picking up on it. Got banned, became a ghost, ghost got banned, got re-instated.

What did he do?

*prod* the sort-of newbie........

I was unfairly treated. It was plain hypocrisy to award someone months ago who found out you could log on as other people, but then ban someone who spots another site bug. That's why my ghost came and scared Snuggly into bringing me back. I do admit that I did a couple of examples - and that is what I am apologising for. The original one was in the Site Bugs forum.
