IMPORTANT/Ok Then - Lets Just Break all the Rules
5/12/2007 12:40:00 PM
THIS IS FROM OUR FRIEND JENNY-


Hi Everyone,

I am just posting this warning to all my friends and other members that we have a hacker at work in AdlandPro.

I have just received a notification that my posts to another members forum have been deleted.  Well that would be fine - except that I have not posted on this thread or any other of that member's forums in over 6 months!  

But someone has hacked my account and posted using my profile  - and from what I can see from the email notification about the deleted post - they have done this to stir up trouble!  How ironic that this should happen while we have an active forum running called

"Ok Then - Lets Just Break all  the Rules"

This has of course been reported to Bogdan Fiedur and the Administration of AdlandPro and my password (never revealed to anyone by me) changed.  No conflict here! lol - just a simple criminal offence.

But I have put out this warning for everyone else who has an account at AdlandPro - Just be careful people - Some members here do not want to have a business networking community that works for us all!  There seem to be some very unpleasant hidden agendas in the Community and dont let it happen to you!

Saludos
Jenny

Hi Everyone

I   returned to my computer to find a PM that might explain what has been happening to us at Adland Pro during the past several long hours . "The Hacker"  has been found - luckily for the whole community and the owner it seems to have been a game played by one of our "friends".

I am happy to be able to say to  all of my friends and to the admin who have shared with me  what  appeared to be a nasty shock to us about the security at Adland  this has been a manipulated farce and I apologise to you all for falling in the trap..  We could have had our minds put at rest many many hours ago.

As you all know, I received the notice of a forum  post deletion  nearly seven hours ago.  As the forum was Georgios's - I wrote to him immediately to assure him that I havent  posted on his forum since last year.  He read this very shortly after I sent it and has been following and participating in this forum every since.( with a highly cryptic post too) and sending me various emails denying that he is a hacker (never thought he was!) including the rather paranoid response set out below

EVERY ANSWER YOU GIVE THERE REFERS
TO THE HACKER. IN YOUR EYES I AM THE
HACKER. EVERYTHING YOU WRITE
REFLECTS TO ME.

Although he has questioned that there is a hacker - he has not shared with us all that he knew and let us carry on posting and worrying....  all this time.!.

He has finally had the courtesy in a private message less than  an hour ago  to let us know that TODAY he deleted a post of mine - from the year 2006!   And has allowed us all including, the owner to think that we had a serious security problem at AdlandPro since before this forum was started.

He has wasted many people's valuable time, including the owner's. in not clarifying this issue straight away avoiding the need for the forum  - Despite the fact that he could have done this from the very beginning.and knew it was a false alarm.

I think that The forum on the subject of  "Ok Then - Lets break all the Rules" by Dave Cottrell on the first post of this forum is even more relevant  than ever.

Here are two quotes from Dave's Forum

"Regarding "official offense-takers:" yes, there do seem to be a few lurking around.  It would be great if they would tell the person they were offended by just what offended them!"

"I think that one of the important points about "offence takers" is - they often do not want to resolve problems - they prefer the attention they get taking  offence and letting everybody know that they are a VICTIM!!.  Quiet resolution isnt part of the plan! lol   Whoever said that Community Spirit and a clear conscience were an issue here? lol"

I am afraid it now looks as if we have all been the victims of someone else's hidden agenda!

I think it is a sad thing  that a grown adult member thought it necessry to waste our time.

Saludos
Jenny

Kathy and everyone discussing the HACKER,

Since there has not been any official public word from Bogdan, I would say that this is some kind of hoax or misunderstanding.  For what ever reason this has all come about, I agree with Dave's statement in his "breaking the rules forum", that all we might be doing here is to damage someone's reputation that just may be innocent which in itself might be grounds for disciplinary action:

"Let's not keep things just in the community, either. If someone feels they've been slighted here in this community, let's email the details all over the internet and make sure to post on Yahoo groups and other communities, as well. Why not do as much damage to someone's reputation in the heat of our passion as we can! "

Let's let Bogdan and crew work out the details and apply appropriate discipline if said thing really happened before we all jump to the gun of banning someone.  If you feel that security has been violated, then secretly contact Bogdan so that they can "catch" the person in the act.

I believe that if Bogdan felt there was a big problem with security here, he would have informed ALL of us with appropriate instructions to prevent it from spreading.  Isn't that correct Bogdan?

Peace to everyone!

I agree with some points Joe made.  A misunderstanding has occured (yes??) .  I think Life is too short to fight online.

One thing I'm a little fearful of now is deleting members posts in my forums. I've done a cleaning of forums occassionally and I've deleted posts that are ADS and I'd consider removing a post if I thought it was going to start a word war. Would I get in trouble for doing this?  I'm not taking sides but am just asking something to consider  Pat
