My God, the largest spamming session in Clyez... ever.

[Ocin]

Clyez, 4th Floor, Server 2, PC/PS2 Servers.

It's insane, and I'll B-List you if you join in on it. Apparently, everyone is attempting to annoy a hacker by the name of Nobody, so they're all dressed in Rappy Suits and holding their Shift Key when they press Enter. u_u;

Edit: Darn. Right after I made the thread, it dissipates. But I assure you, it was near blinding. Since the spamming session is now gone, let's change the thread topic.

What do you think of Hacking in PSU, since this is what the whole affair is about? Is it wrong? Should we really spam about it? Why don't we all just report the flying person? Submit your opinion!

[Zael]

more idiocy :/

[RS]

Sounds like fun... Let me get my Rappy Suit

[napalmB]

pics?

[Powder Keg]

Nobody = Razor. Same person going around stealing from shops under two different accounts.

[Saphion]

Is it strange that this makes me want to reactivate my account?

[tihoa]

so far i know of 2 things

1) someone is taking items from people's shop and they get no meseta
2) they are crashing people

[VanHalen]

Spamming is fun in moderation.

[Hokokaru]

pics plz? us xbox users wanna see =D

[Ocin]

I didn't take any pictures before it dissipated. >_< But there were about 15 people in Rappy Suits, a few left and bought some, and they all started flame spamming the hacker as he floated in the sky.

[Hokokaru]

Awwww i wanted to see the hacker play bible =(

[Travis IV]

heres one, i was there

[Saphion]

Hail teh rappies, indeed.

[WBMike]

Ah too much Blisting. Just stay away from it :3

[Tita]

congrats rappy spammies!
you've just validated the hacker in a glorious way!

[Hokokaru]

Hmmmmm nobody isnt floating =/ hes behind that rappy right?

[Ocin]

Looks like the mob is back in Clyez.

[Jakosifer]

Glad I'm on break...lol PSU. >_>

[Hokokaru]

More pics? =)

[Ken_Silver]

I'm tempted to log in and see just how bad the spamming is (or was) but then again, if there is a hacker around, it's better to stay away then be drawn towards the flame... That's how I see it.

[Ocin]

Honestly, rather than get everyone to spam, just get everyone to report. >_> Equally effortless, and will keep the servers more clean for a set amount of time.

[Ken_Silver]

lol, must resist urge to see silly rappies spam! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Honestly, I'd never be a spammer but I'd have a ball watching the spammers. I should use that time watching on actually leveling up though http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[RedMussel]

This isent the biggest spam session, remember Sonics Birthday. It was crazy then.

[Ocin]

Wow. Now we're offering respect to the Haxorz God. >_> This is nuts.

[Ken_Silver]

WTF?!? I figured they get bored and disperse by now. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Guess not. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Ocin]

Y'know what? I went to the Casino, and saw another hacker, and a bunch of other people were there, too. Even the people who were Haxorz Spamming were there, and we were all having a real great time. I was there under my new Casino Guy, Stealth#9, and this hacker really brightened everything up. His character was female, but his head was male, so I called it his Mangirl act. Unlike Nobody/Razor/Whatever this person's name was, this guy didn't boast his ability to spam. The other hacker was comparable to the likes of Bruce Lee NK, and Anti, from PSO. But this guy was special. We need more guys like him. The Casino was so crowded, just talking! It was great. n_n

[Sexy_Raine]

I'm to go check it out right now. And see if Crono is being beat in Blackjack again. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Kylie]

I don't care as long as it's just something like flying or whatever... you know, whatevet floats their boat! But I'd rather not associate with anyone like that, personally.

That's... pretty mild actually. At least people are having fun.

[AlphaDragoon]

LOL, they totally screwed with that guy. I hear he even tried to offer them max Meseta to leave him alone. XD

Good job, Rappies.

[beatrixkiddo]

lol, fight the hackers with spam?

Not sure how that's supposed to do... anything?

[Aviendha]

I can't imagine that this annoyed the hacker more than it annoyed the general population. Unless the general population is made up entirely of morons who think this accomplished something. =/

[PSU_Castor]

Interesting...

Heh, actually, sounds kinda fun.

[Mikura]

*facepalm* I've lost all faith in the PSU community now.

[PSU_Castor]

If you guys think that kind of spamming is bad, you should seriously see the Xbox 360 demo servers.

I agree that the room hacks and all that is no good, but it sounds like people are hyping up the magnitude of the spamming a lot.

They spammed a hacker, the hacker got annoyed and ran, and they chased him until he logged. That's what I'm getting so far, gotta do a bit more digging.

[omegapirate2k]

I'm much more surprised that he didn't just drink in the attention.

[pikachief]

wat kinda hacker goes offline from spamming?

if it bugs u so much just clsoe your window XD

all he does when he isnt hacking is sit there.... ummm y does he care if they're spamming or not? XD

[Zer0_ConvoY]

lol you call that spam? THIS IS SPAM! http://www.stage6.com/user/Trezto/video/2002593/VCC-RANDOM-SPAMOFF-2K7-YEAR-END-EVENT!

[Noblewine]

I heard it was taken care of last night and all of the hackers were banned.

But I was told that the hackeres that were playing around on G colony 4th floor were all banned. I asked a player that was in my party and she said it was dealt with.

[pikachief]

well they couldn't have cuz segas on winter break for another week and no Gms or Admins are responding to all the chaos in the main site's forums complaining about the hackers still http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Alamar]

Am I wrong or is that pic taken Parum east? Did'nt they say he was on 4th flr colony? Looks like parum buildings in the background.

[ArdenPurple]

Actually, teh Rappyspam was "endorsed" by the mod on the official Sega PSU forum, where the idea spawned:
http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?t=65241

From what I understand, most folks from there already had reported the offender and were doing this to distract him...whether it annoys him or inflates his ego, it at least distracts him from hacking more shops (he's bragged on youtube that he's robbed over 200 player shops so far) and makes him easy to avoid until the GMs come in and ban him.

EDIT: Relevant recent post http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?p=702026#702026

This might be a valid point if the hackers hadn't already crashed the servers 3+ times, long before this idea surfaced. I don't agree about disrupting any GM events, but in this situation, having been there to watch things unfold, I have a lot of respect for the people who fought back against the hackers.

The good news was that it did in fact work. I wasn't sure if it would, but they made him run from the populated areas countless times and even had him logging off and hopping universes as he tried to hide from them. There were more rappies joining the cause every few minutes, even people without suits were massing him and spamming him, telling him to get off the game, etc.

He actually tried to bribe them at one point, with a "I'll give you all max meseta if you stop." That was the big cracking point, when everyone knew it was working.

Sure, there will be people that go "You aren't doing any good." They said the same thing when we first did something like this over a year ago on PSO. Alpha sums up my thoughts on that almost verbatim.

Well done to all the rappies who stood up for the community. I got a lot of footage, hopefully we can have a nice end to it all with a couple banhammer swings from the GMs soon.

I assure you, any spam session without me included wasn't that annoying at all.

Ah, now this makes a lot more sense. In either regard, if they were keeping him busy (And not hacking more rooms), it was good for everyone else. I'm just kind of surprised they actually got him to high-tail it and run.

[Saphion]

Fight the powah!

FIGHT THE POWAH!

Or words to that effect.

here you go, one flying nobody.
