Trade Impostors

April 15, 2010 at 2:01 PM

Recently, we've received several reports of users creating similar usernames to others and acting as impostors and "stealing a trade" at the Trade Center.

So, TO ALL TRADERS, before accepting an offer, please check the username of the offerer. This is especially important if you're trying to trade with a specific user. Make sure it is the right person and not an impostor! If you accidentally trade with the wrong user, we cannot give your creatures back.

This notice has been posted on the View Offers page at the Trade Center.

Remember that there are NO identical usernames. Pay attention to who offers on your lots. That way, it will take all of the power away from any impostors. :) Things like this are 100% preventable by you. ;D

I guess we just have to be patient right now, wait and see what happens. 😊

galewinds • 16 Apr 2010, 8:34 AM

we could use some mods and maybe he needs an assistant admin, people who can be here more often?

galewinds • 16 Apr 2010, 8:35 AM

so in the mean time, check the profile and the date joined with anyone you trade with 😊 make sure it is who you know

galewinds • 16 Apr 2010, 8:36 AM

before you accept the trade, and if you find an impostor, come and post the profile name here to help others, we are a community 😊

galewinds • 16 Apr 2010, 8:38 AM

everyone have a good day, have fun and trade safely 😊 see you later

thursdays_dove • 16 Apr 2010, 9:08 AM

@galewinds - Let's be our own admins. We've all done a pretty good job so far! 😉

I do not steal trades.......but I DO steal views >: 3

neo428984 • 16 Apr 2010, 10:27 AM

Fanciful is 10 views from evolving. This should do the trick, haha. I may give in and buy a Rhinedorf soon (or today...)

ksac512 • 16 Apr 2010, 10:40 AM

View steal! I'm really sick, so I'm staying home from school. 100.7 degree fever does not bode my body well ☹️

jaclynmarie15 • 16 Apr 2010, 10:54 AM

Awesome, here I am, homeroom in mandatory "silence" for National Day of Silence. Yup, Im perturbed, so, Ive posted on a Virtual Site.

exempje1 • 16 Apr 2010, 10:57 AM

o -o..

dragon_lvr_4_life • 16 Apr 2010, 11:11 AM

I know a solution to this! First the person who is getting the creatures sets up the trade, and after that the person who is giving those

dragon_lvr_4_life • 16 Apr 2010, 11:12 AM

creatures offers on the lot. Real simple and easy!

sunshine4562 • 16 Apr 2010, 11:18 AM

Hello EggCave😊 Stayed home from school. I really want to see what the new site version will look like

kota • 16 Apr 2010, 11:22 AM

morning egg cave

exempje1 • 16 Apr 2010, 11:24 AM

@dragon -It's okay, but just checking before accepting helps too. . _.

neo428984 • 16 Apr 2010, 11:29 AM

Yeah, I think just a quick visit to a user's profile will be able to tell you if it's really who you want to choose.

ksac512 • 16 Apr 2010, 11:29 AM

Today is Day of Silence? Well then....I didn't know that XD I probably couldn't do it, I have a motormouth XD

dragon_lvr_4_life • 16 Apr 2010, 11:34 AM

@exe: I have problems doing that 😃

exempje1 • 16 Apr 2010, 11:41 AM

Day of Silence..o.o National or International? I live in The Netherlands, lol. 😸

gamekatt101 • 16 Apr 2010, 11:54 AM

*waves good morning to everyone* ...Yes, this is a not so subtle post for Views. 😋

ksac512 • 16 Apr 2010, 11:59 AM

I think Day of Silence is national, and mainly in the U.S. But I'm not completely sure.

silverserpent • 16 Apr 2010, 12:56 PM

Day of Silence? What's that? We don't have it in Sweden, I think. 😊

neo428984 • 16 Apr 2010, 1:05 PM

The Day of Silence I know is to support GLBT individuals by acting against the silence/repression they face daily. Like camaraderie.

dragonkeeper • 16 Apr 2010, 1:23 PM

good afternoon egg cave

sapphire12 • 16 Apr 2010, 1:58 PM

im back... very wierd day today... :/

ksac512 • 16 Apr 2010, 2:36 PM

These views are delicious! Would anybody like some? *hands out views that look like cookies*

isorlaugh • 16 Apr 2010, 2:40 PM

So, any new imposters? Or is there just the old ones?

sparklefox • 16 Apr 2010, 2:58 PM

I've just noticed something, when you see a message a lot has been closed, and that person never accepted any offers, it says did't instead-

sparklefox • 16 Apr 2010, 2:59 PM

-of didn't. Wierd o_O

doverly • 16 Apr 2010, 3:01 PM

Hee, I love how Aeoria's used for every legal issue... she's so overworked >< .

ksac512 • 16 Apr 2010, 3:07 PM

Poor, poor Aeoria XD She needs a vacation, pronto.

sparklefox • 16 Apr 2010, 3:17 PM

Guys, I just found a Puffup in the Adoption Center. Its name is a bunch of 9s.

neo428984 • 16 Apr 2010, 3:20 PM

Do we know who the impostors were/what names they used? I know of one (alleged) impostor, but not the name used.

gizmo • 16 Apr 2010, 3:24 PM

Yeah, taking some views! 😊

exempje1 • 16 Apr 2010, 3:38 PM

Can they have multiple accounts on the same IP-adres?.. ._. Cuz I think it's IP-bann, and that'll stop all the impostering if it's possible.

neo428984 • 16 Apr 2010, 3:48 PM

I don't know, I get on two IP-addresses daily (one at work, one at home) and there's no problem there, so I'm not sure if it effects account

neo428984 • 16 Apr 2010, 3:49 PM

creations or anything. I'm too scared to try, quite honestly, haha, though I'd love an account with just Nipha's and Chimera's.

neo428984 • 16 Apr 2010, 3:50 PM

I know that didn't quite make sense with what you asked, but that's okay. Looooong day >_<

exempje1 • 16 Apr 2010, 4:00 PM

500! 😸

gizmo • 16 Apr 2010, 4:05 PM

With an IP-bann you can't have more family members have an account on the same computer...

tiny_lil_rockstar • 16 Apr 2010, 4:22 PM

hello everyone and if everyone is wondering about the list its because to show people how many care! and to make them not to do it 😊

lizardfeather • 16 Apr 2010, 4:30 PM

@gizmo what if they have more than one computer E.g : they went to their sibling's computer

lizardfeather • 16 Apr 2010, 4:30 PM

And that would require our IP address to be documented which is dangerous info for hackers

exempje1 • 16 Apr 2010, 4:30 PM

@gizmo -They should've thought of that earlier then, you can't steal eggs by using fake names and not get punished for it.

gizmo • 16 Apr 2010, 4:36 PM

No sorry that's not what I meant. I think I did understand your suggestion wron exempje. I thought you suggested a limit of 1 account per IP

gizmo • 16 Apr 2010, 4:36 PM

But now I see what you mean. And you might be right, when there IP is blocked it could solve the problem...

kitty • 16 Apr 2010, 4:47 PM

Hey yall! Teehees, My flight got delayed, so im online. But it looks like Egg Cave is in the boring/slow Era of Arkian History again ><

ginna3525 • 16 Apr 2010, 4:50 PM

snowyball • 16 Apr 2010, 4:51 PM
