RockyBalbao's screenshots were pretty obviously faked.
Not only does the first message's posting name say "Hyper" (you can see the bottom), the poster's display name doesn't, implying the chat's just been copy-pasted into the window.mind pointing that out in a red circle? I don't see that anywhere.
Look at the top arrow. You can see the bottom of the letters of the chat-name, and it looks like the bottom of the word "Hyper", this makes sense considering it's Josh's character. Look at the second arrow, Josh is using the display name "Josh". The blacked-out display name isn't long enough (see the top arrow) to be the one blocked out in the screenshots. The display name at the top (first arrow) is always the display name in the window of the person sending the IM in MSN.
On the second one, the font and colour isn't Alex's, and the screenshot is covered with patchy white areas. The f*** indent on the left side is completely different to the way MSN messages actually look, you moron, you've obviously just pasted a block of text (poorly) into a blank window.1. People modify msn, I modify my own. 2. People can modify their text size, color, and font.
When you look at an ordinary MSN window, the text that you type and send is indented on the left-hand side. The display name, however, isn't, as you can see in the first screenshot. In the second (posted above), all of the text is the same font face and colour for both parties, which would only happen if both parties strangely were using purple Comic Sans. Only the font size for both parties is controlled by one user.
This, and the last one he just posted, prove that this "log" is actually just a screenshot taken of one person copy-pasting text into the window and pushing enter -
not a screenshot of an actual IM taking place. The copy-pasted text was typed into the ordinary text area and sent, and thus could have been fabricated entirely or edited just for fun.
Whoever went to such lengths needs to stop whining, and start living. If you don't like the server, brilliant, GTFO and join somewhere else. It's a win-win situation; we don't have to listen to pathetic, jealous, petty little idiots complain because a free server providing them with thousands of hours of free entertainment isn't sculpted to be their ideal utopia, and you don't have to be here.
You don't have to reply, they can post all they want. So if anyone needs to 'GTFO', that would be you.
They haven't just been posting here; they've been posting on the server forums, on other server forums, and in guild forums. You'd think with the amount of energy expended complaining about one server they could find another and move on.
What on earth makes you think you have the right to dictate how a server should or should not be run? The guy who makes the rules decides whether they're broken or not. Don't like it? Go somewhere else. Oh pretty, pretty please.
A server that goes against it's own rules? They can say they didn't break them all they want. If you don't like this topic, you can leave, it's as simple as a 2-key combination. Alt+F4
They didn't go against the rules. Marc wrote the rule and thus he is the one best qualified to determine its clarity, loopholes, intention and application. Furthermore, the people complaining were demanding that Terri be punished for the supposed rule-breaking
more harshly than a member who wasn't in CH and the victim of a witch-hunt would ordinarily have been.
I was going to try to stay out of this thread but it looks like some people just won't have that.
No one said you had to stay in or out, or even look at this topic.
Well, people were fabricating screenshots and accusing him of rulebreaking, I'd say that deserved a look-in.
I find it particularly amusing how the font color of the person talking to "Josh" in the first "screen shot" is the same color as the ENTIRE "conversation" between "Alex" and "Josh".
I'd like to take this time to point out that my font color is red on MSN, not pink.
Not saying you did say that, but you can change every little thing about text and how it is displayed on msn, even override the other user's fonts. I have seen a couple of programs a while back that did that, maybe a year ago.
This is true, other IM clients do that. However, the person is clearly using MSN as you can see from the windows. Also, the indent could not be changed, and his last screenshot shows that Rai was just copy-pasting directly into the chatbox.
I don't care what you think about myths of server corruption, as long as people don't go posting faked screenshots to try and frame an innocent person; that's just despicable. If they are fake, then ignore them, simply post that they are fake, and give actual proof, not words.
The words should have been obvious enough, I pointed out what was wrong with the images. Simple observation should suffice. In any case, there's more coherent proof^
Also, the fact that you think Crono has to answer you is amusing. What exactly is it you people imagine the admin of a free server owes you? The server would be far better off without the lot of you, I hope he doesn't explain himself so you can all stay pissed and play somewhere else.He doesn't have to answer anyone, he could drop the server and do as he pleases. However, those things called donations, umm...yeah, that is what keeps the server up, so he may want to keep justify his actions and show proof of how the others are lying and showing how they are lying. No one is pissed here, lol, the last few posters have been using foul language, that is a main sign of irritation. Just for the record, most of the people who posted about the server do play another server.
Don't take this as me being against anyone, this is just the simple facts, and if you want to post with an attitude, I can post the same way, without using foul language.
I tend to get an "attitude" when I see someone trying to set up a friend for no good reason and get them in trouble on a server they actually
like to play. The people demanding proof are the ones who have no intention of playing on the server, so Marc owes them no such explanation.
The only allegation which had any proof behind it led Marc to demoting his good friend and co-Admin, the only other person who could help out with the bulk of the server work he's laden with. He should be praised for acting on the evidence when it arrived, not penalised.
I never photoshopped any screenies.
There was no photoshopping done.
And to protect people, i've blocked things out.
Funny that. You've never edited anything, except for, oh, when you edited them.
You know what he means, don't try twisting one's words around to make them what they are not.
And the conversation shown was clearly copy-pasted trash, all it shows is one person saying "look at this" and then showing you supposed conversation copy-pasted in. That's very editable. The indent proves it, stop flogging a dead horse. Also, naming the "anonymous" chat image "Copy of Rai's Chat" wasn't so smart.
1. where do you see that. 2. people make copies a lot. I make copies as backups.
1. It's the name of the image, save it, or look at the link.

2. I don't care about the "copy" part, I was pointing out the fact that he named the person who gave him the text in the filename, despite going to lengths to keep it anonymous.
