Re: Survive the Wild!
At Ironcross, good point. I'll also add that even if he is truly sorry, we all know how volatile of a time adolescence is. We know, because we all went through it. So I would be willing to put some money on the fact that a similar situation will come up again at some point.
At whoever was saying that IP addresses can be changed anyway, that is not the point at all. It's inexcusable, and shameful to boot. If you're an admin for an online game, your players' security should be of the utmost importance. That's not to say that accidents can't happen, but this was a deliberate, malicious act. Whether the intent was to actually destroy someone's livelihood, or whether it was just seen as a harmless bit of fun, makes no difference. It is not harmless, and it is not fun to distribute people's personal information all over the internet. At least, it isn't fun for anyone with any common sense or morality.
however, as I said, we all make terrible judgment calls during our adolescence. That's the only reason I'm not completely exploding in rage. However, this is a serious matter. The internet has made everyone seem like insignificant little blobs of matter floating in space, adding to the feeling of immortality, the blasé attitude of, "oh, nothing bad will happen!" So just remember that, whenever you launch an application that interacts with the internet, you're placing your life in the hands of billions. Similarly, if you're running the show, you have a responsibility to juggle all those lives. It's no laughing matter, not to say it can't be fun, but it's time for the petty games and drama to end, now, or I believe this game is headed for a quick and fiery death.
