Illegal Actions Amnesty Thread

[DeusExMachina]

I once schemed a South American revolution to take back the countries ruled by fascists.

I uh..."vacationed" in Syria for a couple weeks...

:O how?

 

[Ennui]

Me and my friend set up a fake CS clan and recruited people to be admins.

We then got them to fill out a fake application form that incuded Steam login and pass..

We stole over $1500 in Steam accounts and used them with hacks until they were all banned.

Other than that I haven't commited a crime in my life.

I think everyone needs to watch this and be mindful.

This thread does not grant you amnesty..
Halflife2.net is hosted by Valve Software, and though our management, content, and everything else is NOT interfered with or overseen by them in any way, we do our best to honor them.

OvA has recieved a permanent ban that will not be lifted and we may send all of his information (IP, email, etc) to Valve so they can pursue legal action if they wish.

We do not support, condone, or allow this kind of behavior. Admitting to acting on a scheme to steal other users Steam accounts is going to get you an instant ban and possible legal action.

 

[CptStern]

bloody hear hear! I applaud this move. What a stupid way to pay back the community Ova, you got what you deserved ...any chance Valve will investigate Ova's activities for defrauding people?

 

[Ennui]

We'll see what happens; I'm going to talk to Munro about it asap.

 

[CptStern]

good, I hope they make an example of him

That's lame. :|

See that big word in the first post? Read the proceeding words after it, too.

Which means close to nothing. We owe Valve the continuing success of this community (which he shit on when he admits to doing something like that, and moreover brags about it) not to mention the fantastic games that spawned it, and this is the least we can do. It's the same way we lock and delete SiX.Steam advertising threads and other piracy related stuff.

Yeah HL2 doesn't endorse the actions, but I thought it was fine to talk about them here. There was no disclaimer against talking about stealing cd keys.

How do you know that OvA was even telling the truth? He might have been joking.

 

[Ennui]

Point is, we don't need a disclaimer. It's not like we're reporting the entire thread for doing various illegal things, god knows we all have at one point or another, but this is a special case.

edit: doesn't matter if he was joking, he deserves what he gets either way

 

[Axyon]

It says Halflife2.net - that's us. The fact that talking about stealing CD Keys falls under the forum rules might clue you in to the fact that we don't tolerate it at all. We're not going to give you a grace period just for posting in a certain thread, that's ridiculous.

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Back on topic..

I've never been caught for anything.

I dunno rly the random crap i've got up to. Random fights (all self defence), underage drinking of course, probably drunk and disorderly..


The usual.

 

[Feath]

Well, then he'll realise that he needs to aquire a decent sense of humour and tell jokes that are actually funny.

 

[The Brick]

I thought OvA was one of the most hilarious members we had D:

Ahum, except the mods, ofcourse... hehe :angel:

 

[Sui]

And the CONTENT WRITERS ;(

 

[Ennui]

I thought OvA was one of the most hilarious members we had

I agree, except replace 'hilarious' with 'immature [in a bad way]'

 

[Crushenator 500]

And the CONTENT WRITERS ;(

Move along Sui :thumbs:

 

[rambler]

um.. let's see...

underage drinking
going into clubs/bars/pubs underage
having underage sex
having sex in public
smoking dope
taking extasy

but i mean, most people have done those ones. you could add 'tresspassing' or 'driving over the speed limit' but it would be pointless.. i've never really done anything illegal, i mean, is there anyone that actually thinks something in my list is 'bad'.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Yow, jesus, bad luck Ova. Harsh but fair. D:

Underage drinking
Underage pub-going
I probably stole some stuff at some point. Maybe a loaf of bread, when I was hungry and impoverished.
Piracy is not theft. It's actually violation of copyright law.
Loitering with intent. Heh.

 

[Solaris]

;(
I never believed him when he said it, but he deserves it never the less. He was however fun, and I'll miss him - cue that funny photo of him and the ghost.

Bb, Ova.

 

[JNightshade]

Hmm... on one hand, I love OvA, and it IS possible to be mislead by this thread...

But realistically, if that was true, that's a truly malicious thing to do. And if not, it's a lame joke. Either way, posting it here was pretty f*cking stupid, tbh. I will miss him, though... ;(



Oh well.

 

[rambler]

not that i'm at all sad about ova's bannage* but could someone tell me why he was banned?

*(after reading the iranian girl thread and his post here about stealing peoples money electrnically)

The money stealing. Considering we're hosted on Valve's bandwidth, it wasn't clever to admit to scamming people out of Steam accounts. Not to say it'd be acceptable if we weren't, of course.

 

[rambler]

ah, well i can't say he didn't deserve it. thanks ennui. by the way, liking the avatar. fear and loathing right? i love the first scene where he says 'no wait! we can't stop here. this is bat country!' (other people - you have to see it to get it)

anyway, back to this thread.

i'm actually finding it a bit disturbing when people start to own up to stealing peoples wallets at parties etc.. anyone else?

fear and loathing is great

some of this thread is weird, Dog-- in particular kind of scared me.

stealing little things from a convenience store now and then in your troubled youth isn't so bad, but wallets and purses? that's a bit much.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Yeah, having had my wallet stolen by an utter ****.. I must say it drove me utterly up the wall and cost me a hell of a lot more money than was in the wallet:

New wallet: £15 (~$30)
New NUS card [student card] : £8 ($16odd)
New Uni Library Card: £5 ($10)
Gym membership card: actually haven't been able to afford to replace this, it's £25 ($50)

It's ridiculous as none of my cards had the PIN code anywhere nearby - all the IDs and stuff have my photo on, and a recent one too.. so they're no use to anyone. I only had £20 in it - and I know they probably just threw the wallet itself away.

****ers.

 

[ríomhaire]

OvA is ocastionly funny, most of the time he's just an ass.

 

[Link]

Sense offences...

I've also had my wallet lifted, once (had left it on a table at a party). Annoying, but it taught me a valuble lesson, which has lasted to this day (4 years on). The only time my wallet is not on my person is when I sleep. If you can take my wallet off me and still have any of your fingers unbroken, you are welcome to it.

Anyway, on topic, never commited a crime, ever. Never been caught, therefore, never commited a crime

He was probably joking.

 

[Vegeta897]

He was.

But it was poor and he should have been banned anyway.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

yeah true! <3 Devin

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Um no not really. If he was joking it was lame but pretty retarded to ban over. I don't see any other bannable offenses around here.

It's up to them to ban whoever they please as it's a private forum but if they're going to tout about being a community based site and being hosted by Valve as serving them then banning based on moderator personal opinion of a user should be kept to a minimum.

 

[Greatgat]

Well hell, Ova AND Nat turner. I know why OvA was banned but why Nat (unless if it was that atrocious rape thread; then I gotcha)?

Oh, and I posted before in here, but I remembered something: Underaged smoking (at the time). OH GOD HELP ME!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Well hell, Ova AND Nat turner. I know why OvA was banned but why Nat (unless if it was that atrocious rape thread; then I gotcha)?

Yar thats it, said stuff like:
"So? The men acted on a BASIC human instinct too: sex"
"She was not being physically hurt, just penetrated."

Tad tasteless i guess.

My illegal activities...pfft i'm not that interesting. Child instead of adult tickets on bus/tube/cinema etc, entering private park my garden backs onto by making a door through the fence hehe, alcohol (but thats nothing...everyone does it)

 

[Qonfused]

Noooo, OvA.

You can be banned for colouring your posts the same as the background.

People make me sad.

Crime.
