I've been through a thread (here ) were an AO ac1dsp3ctrum have plenty of positive antipoints and 1400 posts.
I thought that ppl could get banned only bcoz of plenty of neg?
What happened to ac1dsp3ctrum ?
Is that an arbitrary admin decission?
I'd like to understand, thanx
A long time ago, members were abusing the AntiPoint system and the former administrator JP banned ac1dsp3ctrum along with some others including jehnx, Remote_Access_ and later JCHostingAdmin... maybe others too, but I did not really keep up with it. All I know it was a shitty time with all the alliances.
If you read the threads closer, you will see all the melodrama.
Nope, it's not only because of antipoints or an abitrary decision by the admin. People can get banned for doing stupid things over and over, i.e. discriminating, being a biggot, antipoint fraud, etc.
Ac1d was banned long ago...
Which brings me back to my previous anti points point.
I think they should be based on Merit rather than brown nosing or alliances.
how do you suppose to enforce a system like that?Quote:

I've been abused I thought it was recent becoz the thread had been reactivated by "mind**** " today.
Ok its old stuff.
Good idea but comleatly uninforcable. As I understand it there was a time you could add anti points to banned members, so some of the old banned members may have high anti point listings
I suggest that there could be a list of multiple choice tests that one could take (completely random questions with time limit) to earn antipoints.
That way your member status could be based on your experience and proper skillset instead of how much you have sucked up or forum filled.
Where I appreciate that some members do have proper ratings like Tampa bay (Gr8 Guy who has helped me many times)
There are a few members with mega AP and mega status through the aforementioned methods.
Although I don't know the technical details on how the site determines anti-point values, I have seen the system abused in both directions. I have also noticed a significant increase in negs...
Now, as for earning APs, yes, I agree that they should be based on merit. Developing exams and quizes may not be the most efficient way to earn APs but perhaps something like the hacker challenge may be more appropriate. In other words, have AO setup a honeypot server and have it's members agree to some sort of EULA that states that this is for teststing, yada, yada and have members give it their best shot at comprimising the system based on guidlines given by the AO admins. If you are successful in comprimising the server and you answer all the questions correctly, then you get 200 APs or something of the like. Also, have a select team of AO members configure the server to see if they are able to thwart the attack. If they are sucessful then *they* get the APs. This way, a wealth of knowledge is gained when the results are posted. You can study techniques used by admins and hackers. What'd ya think?
--My two cents
thehorse13... that idea is what i like to call "sick!"
awesome idea! a lil war game anyone?
Some thing tells me they still lurk amongst us....personaly I miss some of the ppl like Acidspectrum and Netsyn, they used to have alot of good stuff to say.....oh well...their not gona show them selves....but it's nice to know their prolly still around :) *waves*
the thing is....every one can fall from grace, and some times theres more to what happens here in AO than most people know, for example, the Netsyn thing, was totaly wacky...oh well.. no need to hold a grudge for so long, oh well....as I said...their prolly still here...

That's a real good idea, but AOs are legions.
The honeypots may be simply bandwidth/cpu dosed.
Tampa,
What's the old saying? The sickest most twisted individuals usually are IT professionals?
*evil grin*
Seriously though, I currently have this scenario in place here. I use it for training admins and junior security staff. I have had tremendous success with it and I think that it would be great for AO members especially since I feel it would give members incentive to keep returning to the site.
:)
Who cares why Aci1spectrum was banned. Everyone should be worried that the great freedom fighter Quad was banned!
Quad you got banned because your a **** head whining about points you got because "they didnt sign there name" and because youd go to far in your posts to humiliate people and you arent good at it. oh and you also attacked others verbally.
Ya thunk that done did it?
hey Quad, tell yer mom i said hi ;)
"banned again", "you haven't learned your lesson have you" - You haven't learned the value of abundant anonymous proxys have you?
I got a triple deja-vu feeling in only one thread... How fun...
Try not to ruin it for us quad, if you keep that up they might initiate ip banning, despite proxys.
