    Technically, yes.

    Perhaps. But it wasn't a "hack". If fact "they" didn't even attempt to hide their identity. I think "prank" is a better description of what was done to that wiki page.

    It was still out of line irregardless. If I pulled something like that, I’d be in **** for it. But I’m not stupid.

    So are you saying that anyone can edit anyone's bio whenever they feel like it without their permission. That's what they did to me. They put a naked man with his nipples showing sitting at a computer screen. Was that a real reason to edit my bio? No it wasn't. It was immature of them.

    It's quite common for men to walk topless on a beach, at a pool, etc.. Do you feel offended seeing men's nipples?

    When it’s used as a prank, then yes.

    When someone intentionally edits information for malicious activity, I
    phrase
    it as hacking.

    You may phrase it that way, but you're wrong. A more correct term (re: the editing of your wiki page) would be vandalism.

    Just so you're aware, no body else can see the individual downvotes of y messages, except you. So we're really not aware of it and generally don' know what you're complaining about.

    I'll send you an email then and you can see for yourself.

    I would say, 'STOP!!! With the 1,000 posts and all already!'... however, I
    find I search Dove-Net for yours posts exclusively, just to watch the shit-show... it brings back 1996, teenagers and weak sis-boy posts soooooo much.

    You keep going, Mr. Millions.... we love you.

    Maybe there's a hacker among your users pulling stunts like this. Only my messages were sabotaged as you noticed in the previous email sent to you,

    $ The Millionaire $

    Maybe your just a little psychzito... maybe a lot. Probably in the middle.

    I just keep sticking the bear, but.... we love it, ya?

    They hacked me on the wiki and they're hacking me here as well.

    I think your use of the word "hack" here isn't accurate. Anyone can edit any pag e on a wiki (generally). That's the entire point and does not constitute a "hack ".
    digital man

    Cmon, you love this too, right??

    :P I know you're BBS mature enough to enjoy this.

    I'm horrible... but I'm so happy we have what we had in the 90s.... now; just with different screen names.

    I, obviously know that I have my role too... its in the middle-lower... shit. :P I'm going to continue, as terrible as that may be.

    Jon,
    Your system appears to be crosslinking messages from one of the
    Dovenet/Fido networked areas, probably Synchronet Discussion, into this area. This area is the FIDO POLITICS area. Please fix this ASAP.

    Thanks!
    Mike

    P.S. I realize there is a remote posibility that this is realted to the
    DINGUS bug/prank. If so, please disregard as it should work itself out.

    This message was from THE MILLIONAIRE to DIGITAL MAN,
    and was forwarded to you by DUMAS WALKER.

    These messages came through my system from Jon's. I have turned off importing of messages from his system until he gets things fixed on his end.

    Sorry about that.
