Ah, Elton, thanks for Yellow Brick Road.
These smilies look bad on the dark background.
Anyways, it's more "evil time" from your friendly bug-finder Beatles. The Misinformation Squad is here.
1. RWL bashing is disallowed on FAF.
2. I had many other ways to tell you the bug, yes. None of those would get the bug fixed as rapidly. Also, I had a lot of ways of not telling you the bug. :P
4. The hairiest question:
However, wolf bite, you have a very valid point. You don't want me to post bugs on RWL. Out of sight, out of mind. You'd much rather I just not exploit them and leave you alone. You'd rather reject the services of a bug-finder than value them. I think that sentiment is echoed by a lot of your staff. If that's how you feel -- I am not one to dispute with you. I am currently testing 3 other vulnerabilities on a private BAXX set-up I have. 2 seem certain, the other, not. I didn't have time to finish the testing, but it's fun picking through the code -- it's a thinking process, and helps one's own programming skills. But I wander. If you'd like, I won't test it on RWL's servers, or post it or anything like that. I'll let you know in a PM about the results, and tell Josh -- or The Mercenary, if you recall him -- or sh0e, trusting they will pass along the details to Retto in good time and not do anything nasty.
Forgive me if I sound like I'm blackmailing you -- I said this mostly in jest -- but if ever someone seemed ungrateful and snobbish, it's you. I'm having fun and sincerely trying to help (assuming you notify BAXX clones) and if you can't take that at face value, the problem is in your own mind.

Quote?What would Beatles think if banned people hacked his server and posted on his forum??3. I'd be glad they were kind enough to tell me the bug they used instead of having me have to reason it out. And that is a common sentiment among us coding admins, I think.
4. The hairiest question:
Quote?What right does Beatles think he has to make the decisions on this forum or our games to break the rules??Last I checked, testing a bug and then not exploiting it was not against the rules. There is a fine distinction between "testing" and "exploiting" -- the dictionary will clarify. Also, I don't believe I ever made a decision for this forum.
