Ok, How many people had the Brinnie account?

Another risk is an image embedded in a signature line (or anywhere on a page) in that it makes a call to a remote site to load the image whenever it appears on a page. Why can't other script/code come along with it?
Because HTML tags in signature lines are now disabled.

Prior to that, it may have been possible to log on as another user and lock them out of their account.

Mods??? There are no Mods on the GB. You know this.

I think VS makes a valid point. You knew the Brinnie password and knew of others using it to turn the GB into a mess. And you didn't pass the info onto L&M for action. You sat back and watched the trainwreck go on day after day.

After you allowing this trainwreck to go on for weeks, being under fire for 12 hours seems pretty minor.

I think you owe L&M an apology.

I agree that Lux knew what was going on and had information that could have possibly been used to stop it. However, she wouldn't need to give Laurel and Manu the password.

I would imagine that people complained to Laurel and Manu and they decided not to do anything about it, since it went on for so long and nothing was done to stop it. But Laurel and Manu wouldn't need to be given the password. If they wanted to disable the account, they could have.

That bug involved the "Preview Message" function, added for vB 3; it didn't have anything to do with return receipts.

It's no less safe to view and acknowledge receipt of PMs than it is to view posts.


I was just giving examples, like the preview vulnerability that was present before.

There's always an exploitable weakness. Fix it and if they really want in they'll find another one.

Again, that goes to Lit rules being violated. Those that I saw only were 1) advertizing her web site in her sig line and 2) spamming the boards.

L&M won't do anything without rules being violated because they, unlike brinnie, are pro free-speech.

I have to say social engineering is a lot easier than scouring for sploits.
 
luxey and i had nothing to do with brinnie's attack at lit not to long ago.
brinnie changed her password and way of posting when she came up with her ARt&erotica board, and new minion of fan started poping up. i belame her freedom of speech crew of gnubs.
get that through your thick headed heads ppl, brinnie changed her PW way before her spamming of lit really escalated. i read a couple of p.ms from brinnie's box and most were from noobs that agreed to stand with her to fight against the censorships.

me and lux don't have to apologize for shit.

if you don't know what is really happening then don't belame luxey outta left field, for you ppl are over exggerating this whole thing. i only posted a few threads whilst on the brinnie account to poke at brinnie and lux to E_S.

I understand that. I'm not saying they should have done anything. I'm saying that shy made it sound like if only Lux had given the password to Laurel and Manu, they could have done something, and I'm saying they could have done something regardless, if they wanted to.

I think Luxey had more power in terms of publicizing the identities of those doing this, or if she didn't want to do that, she could have gone in and changed the password herself, and said, "You're being asses with this account, and I'm putting a stop to it." She chose not to do that.

Where do the images come from that are embedded in the sig-lines and messages?

How do they get there?

KS be nice. Don't talk like that to him. It is not his first language, anyways.
English should be capitalized, P.S.

He is just sticking up for me, not blaming you or anything.

It was better a while ago when someone else was posting as tang.
Like GG, you are spreading non-needed drama.
Please stop, for me KS. :eek:

Whoa there. Unless the "mess" was a violation of Lit rules, which any of us could have actually reported, this is no different than those who knew what Bob was doing. That implicates sereral killas.

It isn't. Who were the killas who knew what Bob was doing? Maybe Heavy. Maybe STD... I miss Sukit Beach or what ever.

Or Draaah and friends who knew, who actually was using the supermod function to find people's locations and then feeding the information to Bob who fed it to guileful who posted and hurt some people.

Or Guileful/desiqn/december herself, who posted tons of personal information that had been shared and then went on to post the IM logs.

It damages the trust and community of the boards. I don't see as much as I did before because I use the ignore button. I ignored the Brinnie fiasco simply through being busy. Then, today, I stayed home with an injured son.

The flavor changed and that's okay because most of us can change with it, but don't expect kudos or laughs or acceptance when someone does it from me.

Via BBCode, if I understand the question correctly. BBCode tends to be safer than embedding markup.

Well, I'm getting the impression from you and Byron that you're maintaining the software is too secure to be violated.

I don't believe that but what I think doesn't matter here.

SM is correct. The vB tags are interpreted by the vBulletin software, which generates HTML for your browser. Currently, inserting your own HTML code in your sigline isn't allowed.

It is manipulative to use someone else's photo without consent to cause chaos and wreak havoc here. It's backhanded and deceitful as well. And those that knew of it and didn't say anything to try to stop are just as bad in my book as the person who created the name. Brinnie and all of it's users started a bunch of shit here and reamed the damned board to numerous a time to count and those that knew who were doing didn't do a damned thing.

Pretty fucking low.

Whaaaaaaaa!

Whaaaaaaaaaa!
