Guild under attack

Not open for further replies.
I'd rather not argue on the Forums, as I am new here. I was recently encouraged to join after being informed of a disturbing page (this being it) slandering (implying) my name. I'd first like to point out that if you did contact your Aunt (which I suspect is a lie to instill confidence in your guild members), and she did assure you that your Uncle will "look into it", that she is lying. If, in fact, your uncle attempts to seek help from higher authority, or seeks action himself, he will fail in doing so. Pirates Online is a corporation under the control of Disney. It is a private game, and all arising issues (with members, game-play, billing, etc) are to be handled by staff members/representatives. Also, just to clarify, going onto an ONLINE GAME and entering a GUILD by a code (which is allowed on POTCO, there's a reason codes were made to allow outside members to access it) and spamming, does not in ANY WAY, shape, or form make me liable for an arrest or judicial action. Clearly you don't know what you're talking about.

P.S. - For all of you Forums members who hope to get me banned from this site, please don't waste your time trying. I'm a new member, and I intend on following all of the rules & regulations. This site looks like it's fun, and I hope to see all that it has to offer.
 
I gotta say, your talented. You take every situation and turn it in your favor. You may follow the " rules" everywhere you go, but day by day you lose more respect and in most cases, you have none left with a lot of people. If you love doing this and taking fun from others, by all means go for it. I may be speaking for myself, but I don't want to be in a game where you suck the fun out of everything. " The king of POTCO", that's a lovely title to place upon yourself. Hopefully outside of POTCO you act differently and are slightly respectful, or things might just catch up to you.
 
Just to be clear, with some of my information (and friends within different jobs), the government does take this seriously and I (and a few of my friends) have brought up the issue with people who might have jurisdiction within these parts. It's really up to the legal process to see if this can be stopped.

James Gunrage is correct: these attacks are, in fact, larceny and the rate of attacks can justify fines and probation time.

To be completely frank, I think this thread already adequately did its work and can now be closed.

Okay, let’s dispel some myths here.

Hacking is illegal and that in itself can be grounds for a criminal charge and a following ruling/sentencing if found guilty.

Here’s the bigger issue though and the easiest one to prove IMO. These accounts are paid for with money by private citizens. One paid for, those accounts then become the property of that citizen. Thus, once he steals that property he’s committed larceny—no way around it.

A single larceny charge is generally a misdemeanor right by itself. However, seeing as these are multiple events and seeing as these events most probably crossed multiple state lines, it absolutely becomes a felony—for sure. And the criminal COULD BE picked up on charges by the Feds as well—that’s completely up to them.

And NOW we're talking. He/She would do a lot of probation at the least if convicted.

BUT IF it can proven he stole from multiple victims crossing multiple state lines, he WILL do a little bit (to a lot a bit) of time in a juvenile corrections center or an adult prison depending on his age and the eventual outcome of his/her case.

As for the federal government not caring.... Ehh, I tend to agree with ya on this point, but it’s not a slam dunk on that point though—again, completely up to the Feds.

Local and state officials would absolutely care though, and if enough evidence can be presented against him, this person could very possibly do time. A lot of ifs, ands, and buts of course--the way the justice system works--but if caught and enough evidence is produced, well…… I think we all get the picture.

But to assume a case cannot be brought against them AND he/she would get off free as a bird is both unreasonable and unrealistic.

Make no mistake about it. He/She HAS committed a criminal offence already (larceny), no question. That part is already well established.

Now will anything be done about it??? <---- Therein lies the million dollar question.

You forgot another charge, everything the hacker is doing can be called harassment, or stalking. Stalking because he is repeatedly finding the same person and following (or tping) to that same person over and over.
 
First I'd like to say, I will not ban anyone on the forums just for being accused of wrong-doing in the game. I will, however, ban those who break our own rules while on the forums. Everyone should be considerate and respectable here.

I would like to additionally point out that it is against our rules to hurt someone's reputation.

Then you're off to a bad start. Drama is not allowed here. All those involved are responsible, not just the "instigator."

On a more personal note, it may not be illegal to spam guild chat, but it probably does make you a jerk, and that's nothing to be proud of. Closing this.
