Response to the Web Spamming by PictureFrames December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

Hello everyone, I just wanted to apologize for the recent trolling on the forums. You all reacted to this situation correctly, and I thank you for that. All six of the trolls have been web banned.

Regards, -AV

This is getting out of hand..

It wasnt long ago this happened before :l

NuclearDucky December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

Thanks ^-^ I'm gonna go troll them now! >:D XD jk

There honestly making ocn look like crap

JKawesome December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

You think you can stop us? We all have degrees in computer science, and are feisty for action. We are part of the 4chan hackers from OCN and what ever you throw at us we can by pass. Over  120 alts at our disposal, and we can get more as we please. We don't feel like commiting federal crime so your servers aren't going to get knocked down or anything, we're just having fun, and you can't do a thing.
Don't you have anything better to do on Christmas Eve than making Overcast look terrible?

We just met, too bad we have to say goodbye so soon! You'll earn a web ban as well for taking part in this malicious attack on our website, and server.

Oh no I'm so scared .-.

lulle265 December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

I've googled a couple of these guys, I've resulted with many bans on several large servers.

Thomas_Shoe December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

Stop deleting my posts lol

ViceTechnicolour December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

They're deleted for a reason.

Emmaye December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

Do not click any malicious links.

_Stormz December 25, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

Just like what Emerald said, don't click on any links that you see being posted here.

_Phyre December 25, 2014 at 5:12 AM UTC

I really hope avicus comes around to having Phishing, or Malware link protection on the forums... "Its gonna take 5000 years to code"... Serious?

It was mentioned but it was turned down.

Numberz_ December 25, 2014 at 5:12 AM UTC

Well I guess some people have no life's sad.

^agreed. its important to have, no matter how long it would take... its for the safety of the users...

_Phyre December 25, 2014 at 5:12 AM UTC

It was mentioned but it was turned down.
Exactly why was it turned down?

So basically what this server is saying... "I dont care about my users, let them get Malware, and never come back"...

AstroPizza December 25, 2014 at 5:12 AM UTC

It is a real shame they have decided to do this at such a special time of year , people put lots of hard word in to both OCN and Avicus and i would not like to see either community fighting over purely who came first;It's a poor excuse of a reason to ruin other peoples days , i'm sure these mods dealing with you would rather be enjoying their Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone and thank you to the staff <3 Here to a happy 2015

Why do you make that assumption for pretty much everything?

Sometimes Ivy actually has other stuff to do, And sometimes it's not worth putting so much time into something so small.

I believe he said something along the lines that it's not necessary and it'd take too much time to code, and that it doesn't happen frequently enough to warrant prevention. Think of it like this; how would you block every site ever that has malware or porn? And how would it block gifs posted straight onto the site or stop tinyurl stuff?

Figure that out.

I agree with you there, but cant they try? I do understand ivy is busy, but.. come on at least try to do something to prevent attacks that can potentially destroy the whole server... And trust me, it can happen...

You're exaggerating. What should Ivy "try"? I already explained there really IS nothing to "try". Come up with an idea first.

That's like saying DDoS protection is something small. 

Its small until it happens.

I was manly referring to some of the other stuff he had suggested, malware and phishing protection woudld be great, but it has some obvious flaws that Para pointed out.

chaibrit1 December 25, 2014 at 7:12 AM UTC

"degrees in computer science"
oh good for you, you got a degree that took 2 years + taking tests, studying, etc. just so you can troll people on the internet and ruin peoples day. And it's really just sad if these trolls have to find fun out of other peoples misery. Go ahead, spam, troll, ddos, but just realize, how pathetic you're making yourself look.

SnowSX3 December 25, 2014 at 7:12 AM UTC

I feel like I need to remind some of you that you shouldn't give these guys the attention they crave.

Don't respond to their posts and don't encourage their threats. Whether you have good intentions or not, by simply replying to these people, you are encouraging them.

Do not reply to these people.
Don't give them the attention they crave.
They WANT a reaction. Don't give it to them.

Ignore them.

This goes for the staff too.

You realize that if these users aren't web banned, the entire forum will be filled with spam? The staff can't really ignore it. However, you do have good points.

Sorry.. I wasn't specific.
I meant that people shouldn't reply to these spammers.

The staff should definately take action but they should do it with the utmost  professionalism
and shouldn't reply back to these attention seekers.

garsdef December 25, 2014 at 9:12 AM UTC

why do i keep missing the trolls T_T

PieZ December 25, 2014 at 2:12 PM UTC

Just to make this clear from the info I saw. This isn't an OCN vs avicus thing. Just a person spaming the forums who is banned on both servers
