Whilst I appreciate Chessgames may not want to disclose specific details regarding an alleged hacking, I think the members are entitled to more information about this matter.

Are you surprised that he got caught hacking <CG>?

He openly threatened to do so just days before. Again, in plain view.

Did <CG> ever offer public comment on other banishments? (E.g. AJ's?). If not, why should <bippy> get special treatment?

What do you mean by <corrosive behavior>?

Constantly shooting off your big fat mouth is not necessarily corrosive behaviour.

<Are you surprised that he got caught hacking <CG>?>

Yes, I would not have thought he would stoop to hacking this site.

<He openly threatened to do so just days before. Again, in plain view.>

I didn't see that post.

Didn't either.>

Do a search. (Oh, you can't.)

<Aug-07-22 George Wallace: Now about sock accounts, well, they might be necessary now that tyranny and censorship is back in power here at <CG>.

I have a contractor from Bangladesh who screwed up a job I put him on. He wants to get more gigs from me, but he's in the dog house. I wouldn't even have to pay him anything, not a dime, for him to use a VPN and create 1000 accounts over the next year, every day, a few here and there. All I have to do is make it an addon to the next job and he'll do it for free.

Different IP addresses every time (down to the Class C IP), different locations, different emails - very easy.

<Any so-called chess website that ignores the 50th anniversary of the <Fischer - Spassky 1972 World Chess Championship> isn't much of a chess website at all. It reeks like the haze of perfidious stink eye.>

An army of socks does not equate, in my mind, at least, with hacking/attacking the servers - which is how <steve> characterised the problem.

Of course you are. So am I.

You, because she finally wised up. Me, because it took her so long.

Sez who?

with it's explicit and gratuitous mention of patron(s) seems borderline trolling to me.

Dear Mr. Sore,

Please don't answer me as "pal". I'm not your pal.

Never have been, never will be.

Regards.

But one clear example of "corrosive behavior", which I believe you have familiarity - is <Big Pawn>'s clear trollish and flagrant masquerading as elite liberal poster <George Wallace>.

I am with <ohiochessfan> on this one. I too agree with a lot of what <miss Scarlett> saying , though not 100 percent

As things are getting chaotic , i would humbly suggest that <miss Scarlett> , instead of talking on this subject in this forum further , should talk to <Susan freeman> and admins through email , if he must

and if something new comes out of that email communication , he may share with <ocf> and others in this forum.
