Hey Vonk you should be admin again man. Just a thought.

I have ABSOLUTELY no time lately and I like 'not' doing things

I'm really really inactive around here... I don't mean to be, life has just been really busy. In a good way.

I don't mind helping out like this

You can't just like, look once in a while and make sure we're not being h4x0r3d?

Any resolution on what was happening?

The same thing as usual

some mod was being a ninja douchebag, and won't own up to it

Fuck off before I ban your ass just cuz I can. It wouldn't be worth the effort for me to lie about it. If I was messing with people's shit or saw who did, I'd say so.

Honestly, either the board moderation is not secure or someone isn't telling the truth.

Which is it?

well it's obvious that you either can't see everything that people are ninja-modding then~

someone fucked with a post, and rather than just complain about it, I edit'd some of my own posts to bring attention to the matter that we have some douche bag mods doing stupid shit that really shouldn't be moderators~


I have zero issues with people moderating but ninja editing posts in a lameass attempt to be funny is just gay

That's the first time I've seen Mart get pissed off. lol

Well if we take everyone at face value and there is no lying going on then:

Posts are being edited by someone besides the original poster
If it were a moderator or admin logs would indicate who and when edited the posts
There is no indication in the logs of posts being ninja edited by a mod or admin.
No admin has removed information from the logs

What we are left with is someone has compromised the board. Either they have gained access to individual accounts (where they could edit and individuals post without it being logged), or gained some type of administrative access where they could edit posts and logs or do back end edits somehow circumventing normal triggers that log the edits.

My knowledge on how exactly logging is tracked for message boards is lacking, I'm assuming however that the front end interfaces do the logging and not back end SQL triggers on tables. That being said if someone figured out how to edit data in the tables they could edit with no trace in the logs.

Frankly if someone had this sort of access they are keeping it pretty low key, and I'd sooner suspect one or more user accounts are compromised which would generally point to a few people having posts edited (and therefore appear to be targets of mod/admin e-peen abuse) with no actual evidence (since from what vonk said user edits are not logged).

I'd recommend at least for a time that one of the admins turn on and configure user level logging, and that anyone who's been a victim of post editing that has not been claimed by a mod change their site password.

Uggmo is back?

the post that was ninja edit'd was done so in a very Lyionesque manner

Sure, it could have been any other mod, but it was done in his style, and fits with his typical MO

there was no PM sent as mart seems to indicate he said he did

He told me he edited one of your posts as a joke and he sent you either an IM or a PM about it when he did it. That was the only edit that showed up on the logs that was in anyway relevant to this whole thing...which is what I said. Now whether you didn't get the IM or whatever, I don't have control over.

Who deleted my posts originally?

Lyion said it wasn't him from the get go. He did edit one later on though as a joke.

I keep logs np.

oh. ps.

I don't think my two accounts have been compromised.

Not like I share a public computer or anybody in the world actually has access to my PC -_-

Wasnt me. I've only logged on his account a couple times lately, and it was to check logs to see who was editing.
It really isnt in the logs, yall.

Was such important information posted on the board that was deleted to get in such a tizzy over? LET IT GO.

it's got nothing to do with what got edit'd, what got deleted or whatever

it's just really lame when someone fucks with shit then won't own up to it

i can live without reading personal conversations unless it involves porn

Its a free message board, who cares? They don't have to answer to anyone, especially you. Is it Hypocrytical that one of the biggest flamers on the board is now a mod? Yeah, but who the fuck cares. Care about something you can change, not what is very trivial and uminportant. Why are you getting so upset over a message board?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

it would seem to me that breaking the rules can teach a person how to enforce them

i think jay is doing fine and i don't give a rat's ass who is mod

now gimme a fuckin advice forum fuckers

or an amoticon..i feel so ronery

:gargamellow:

Noone is going to take advice from you Gargamellow, sorry but you are more unstable than I am, and thats saying something.

Oh and for the record, I think Jay is doing a fine job as well, it was just a hilarious decision to make him a mod.

ya..keep telling yourself that
