PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: HACKING AND YOU.

Hello everyone, your Friendly Neighborhood Moderatinator here with some more helpful hints about how not to get yourself in trouble with your brand new Omnicom.

As a few of you may have noticed, the temptation to show off your hacker chops by intruding on your buddies' private posts can be difficult to resist. Naturally, as your Friendly Neighborhood Moderatinator, I want to help you with your problem. So next time you feel like rubbing your l337 skillz in the next guy's face by breaking their code, or, heck, just clicking on their "private" links, it might help to remind yourself of one very crucial fact:

I C WHUT U DID THAR.

For those of you who haven't already learned the hard way, one of my personal perks as Moderator and Providor of Omnicoms (all shall love me and despair) is a handy little function that lets me see not just who's posting privately, but who's reading those private posts. Your link records are all available for my perusing pleasure. Your private entries, however, are not, because unlike certain people (you know who you are), momma didn't raise no busybody. (Shaaaaaaaaaame.)

If you absolutely must read someone else's private thoughts (or you'll, oh my god, just like, die of suspense), be prepared to own up to it in front of a jury of your peers - or just me and my database of who does what.

And for those about to try to weasel their way out of this handy little function via the above-mentioned l337 skillz, I suggest you ask yourself a very important question - namely, whether or not you are actually l337 enough to out-think the cyborg programmer who built and wrote the very code on which you will design your hacks.

If you think the answer is yes - Bring it. If you manage it, I *might* not tell the Captain. And by *might* I mean "I'll consider it momentarily before tattling on you anyway."

Lets try and keep a modicum of ettiquette going here, people. This ain't Facebook. Be grownups. Or I'll fool you into hacking into some things you really don't want to see.

-Your Friendly Neighborhood Moderatinator.

THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Jack posts with a level of anonymity that's so basic and below what he'd genuinely try that it has to be a joke.]

*throws a marshmallow at Allen*
Okay fine, I'll play nice with the other kiddies' data. Happy?

Also, FIRST. >:D

Ecstatic, Jackie-boy.

Thank you for this notice, Mister Gentry.

No problem, Captain Picard. Anytime, sir.

I shall keep this in mind in the future.

Also, I don't see why the second line of red text has such an abysmal grasp of literacy.

[ooc: Translation being that he will keep looking at people's stuff, but try and out think and out program Allen. Because he honestly thinks he can. xP]

lolololol. lol.

...now I know you're just doing that to annoy me.

...I can't even begin to translate this mess.

shud hav spent mor time on ur fieldwork.

If this is what I've missed, then I fail to see how that could possibly be a mistake on my part.

Anthropology's a science too, you know.

I'm more than aware of that. However it's not one that I have an particular experience or interest in.

Too many messy emo-chemicals in the way?

Emo-chemicals?

Actually, it's something that wasn't seen as particularly important on Colu, and the Legion has others better suited to such areas. Therefore it would just be a waste of time.

Sort of a personal terminology referencing the unpredictability and variability of human culture and individual personalities.

Lends itself to innovation. That's why I like people so much.

I see. I'm afraid I haven't had much experience in other cultures, but the range of personalities I've encountered has always fascinated me.

My wife is more of a cultures person than I am. She's going back to school to get her degree. I'm so proud of her.

I haven't got a wide range of cultures under my belt either, not from practical experience. My theory's pretty good, though, and my buddies are cool.

By the way. What's your story? I've been meaning to ask. Superhero, right?

I am a member of the Legion of Super Heroes, yes. I'm also an alternate dimension's version of Brainiac 5 who you may already know.

I'm not sure if there was anything in particular you wanted to know?

Just curious. It's not every day I see two takes of a guy. Noticed any differences so far?

Quite a few. Our different natures are the most obvious of them, understandably. I'm not certain how different our pasts are.

Or our personalities.

Your social-fu is a bit more refined.

I- thank you, I think.

Can ye creat abuiloughte t'write whithe pencel and notte thinges strook?

Yes. Come to the engineering department and we'll talk.
