Can this be deleted please? Also if anyone could tell me who that guy is I'd really appreciate it. An IP address would be fine too.

MGB has a policy of typically not deleting posts made by users, especially in the trash talk area. :/

Naw MGB is active, he should be on in the next couple hours.

He DOES have a policy of editing posts, however.

What the shit does it matter? Who cares if some other zone has your settings. Do you know how many people have the VIE settings... yet those arent becoming wildly popular.

God, some of you sysops are well beyond stupid.

Cerium, It has to do with zone security, I'd like to know the method used to leak them and ofcourse to ban that user. Those settings wont do anyone much good without the rest of them, RS has very unique shrap settings which are the main part of damage there, so I'm not too much worried about someone having those settings and I'm not too much worried about any "copy-cat zone". I wont bother to try to ..strike back at you for your little mini-flame there as its obvious you are ill-informed, and must not know me too well to call me "stupid".

The main thing im wanting to know is who it is so I can find out who gave this person a private arena as I havent given out any to non staff.

Thanks.

Then it's probably a staffer.

But, it's not like RS sets aren't out there, even _I_ have a copy. Though, mine are a bit older(which in RS's case is better).

Clearly when he dove into Agent Smith, he was able to obtain the settings during the overwrite. Don't you know anything?

Seriously though, it was either you, another sysop that was stupidly given access by you, or you stupidly setup your Arena Mode setting to a value that lets anyone become the owner of new arenas.

Also, no one -- especially myself -- gives a shit about who you think you are or what you think you do in this game. Just shut up and die in a fire already.

I support Cerium.

Also,
Zone's settings are uploaded to client's memory.
Can rip them off the memory using softice then convert them to comprehensible ASCII.
I know of at least one person (though I believe there been several at el.) who used to go by this method in the past (although, this person did it to modify the settings in run time and cheat rather than rip settings, but it's all same once you have access and know where to look and what to look for...); so really, your zone isn't safe, never has, never will be.

Assembly FTW.

I collect zones' settings, not becouse I want them, but becouse I like garnering big archives...I'm weird like that.
Like, I have EG's settings, who would want that piece of crap, or trench, big pile of junk, pod racing, utter trash, some wing commander zone, star wars (which shadowripper ripped off from the RIP RiSC) gay zone which none plays but bots, kill9mm's startrek ds9, was kinda fun actually but never was done really good to be really fun and good as it could've been, halo CTF, funny piece of intestines jumboree, and many more.
Argueably a waste of space, but I have a terrabyte, and I'm a collector, and I'm out of souls, so...there you have it.
