I would never agree to post a review under my real name.
I never use my real name in the internet at all, exept for my personal email. I use an inkognito email account for logon to forums. In the one, I use for this forum for example, my alias name is Hans Meier, which is a very common german name as like John Smith would be in english locations. Also I never post pictures of myself ,my home or family members. My privacy is the most expensive thing I have.
Ah! Thanks agenthex, that's part of the problem. I wonder if Oscommerce has found a workaround for that, because it's inevitable that sometimes users will post their session ID by accident.
I just now changed the link in one of your posts that ended in something like osCsid=defw422r43tWEFm34352. It appears there is an issue with the catalog software they are using that it applies user information based on the session ID, which is part of the URL.
I am trying to get the osCsid to show up on my URL at Manafont now, and it's not appearing. I wonder if they fixed this already?
What probably happened is that Vectrex posted the link, however he never bought anything (it's a psudorandom, but unique id). But midieval came along, used the linked, maybe bought something/created an account, and the id is now associated with him forever and ever. Now someone else used the same link/sid and they're using midieval's account. [Un]fortunately, MF rely on paypal's info for payment/shipping, and we mostly miss out on the lulz.
However, people can still have fun with that original link if they have it cached...
Well, it's one thing if it's an honest "mistake" (mine) - which was caused by an imperfect software on Manafonts (original sinner) page... the login should always be required. It's a completely different thing to purposely post ways of using the now corrected error in a way that is causing potential problems for one or more users of this forum. (and someone might do it)
I'm already feeling bad enough for indirectly causing trouble...even if it's not my fault. The post you posted would have certainly crossed a line for me, if I were midieval10. But we are likely on very different pages, when it comes to practical jokes. Maybe I'm a bit touchy when it comes to accusations on flashlight forums (even if it is supposed to be a joke)... but remember the history why BLF exists in the first place...
I don't find agenthex's "jokes" funny at all. He keeps trying to funny, trying to go on and on about a serious matter. I was trying to point out a flaw in the system and all he does is try to exploit it.
