Title: Voting Spam Post by: canshow on June 05, 2008, 11:35:56 PM Just about ten minutes from the creation of this topic, i was voting for 50millionc credits for all ten links.
When i got to like 5 or 6, something bad happened. I clicked 5 or 6 and the webpage popped up. Then another one popped up, and like 5 popped up every second and it wouldn't stop and in 30 seconds i had about over 100 internet explorer links, so i was forced to restart my computer. Any leads?

A good popup blocker should also do the trick. I'll click and see if I can find the site. Thank you Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: canshow on June 06, 2008, 03:10:14 PM It should be link #6, but it could also be link #5
and the links are for the 50million credit vote so dont confuse them. And i do have a pop-up-blocker, two of them. Can i get something for my inconvienance? :19: Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: drakken on June 06, 2008, 05:29:04 PM It should be link #6, but it could also be link #5 and the links are for the 50million credit vote so dont confuse them.

There were instances that people sued online games because they were hacked when they were interacting with them....and they won. I mean, i could already have a virus or trojan on my computer....and i could afford a good lawyer :12: Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: jessiedog on June 06, 2008, 07:00:44 PM well you dont, and if u did, it isn't the game that gave u it, its the site u voted on. so go sue the site.
Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: Cameron07 on June 06, 2008, 11:34:34 PM i think its ur computer bud... no one else has ever had problems with it.. i myself have voted forever and never had a problem
Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: Sin1598 on June 07, 2008, 01:40:01 AM I've had a somewhat similar problem, but it occurs randomly.... on one of the links around 6,7, or 8, when I open the link to vote it freezes then an error message comes up with send or don't send, and then I have to restart the internet. But thats all that happens, and it isn't consisetent.
Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: zephyrblade on June 07, 2008, 04:03:25 AM canshow, how about a little ban? You didnt get hacked, just some pop-ups came up. btw, such a lawsuit would never stand up in court, because (for one thing) its not emi's fault.
Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: AFB on June 07, 2008, 04:50:48 AM First of all, I agree with the above that it is the site's fault, not Sir E's. Second- you are under a danger of getting a virus every time you get onto any site without a proper firewall, so what, sue the entire internet? Get a better popup blocker, like coolweb shredder. Third- you will need some hard evidence, for all we know you could be faking it to get money out of it. And fourth-since there was no damage done, you can't bring anything up against S.O.
Title: Re: Voting Spam Post by: canshow on June 07, 2008, 10:01:25 AM Take a joke, the last thing i would ever sue is an online game.And I got a McAffee, Trend Micro, and google popup-blocker, so i guess that makes 3 from basic knowledge. A good firewall? I have two of three, not to mention a filter.
And from what you guys said, i know its not my computer because i had 2 pop-up blockers and only opened them for pve.spaceo.net, so it wouldn't be likely for a spam attack. Still if its the sites that you guys said, then why not remove them and put in different ones? It's not that much work. Anyways, I don't know how you could sue an online game or websites, seems impossible. |
