Combatting Idiocy One Step at a Time

[Organic]

I loved reading the first post, was a stroll down memory lane.
My definitions of hacking/scamming weren't accepted there, so they refused to unban my legit account that got caught up in drama.

Yes, yes, you're all very good when it comes to hacking Gaia Online.

Now can we stop trying to inflate our egos and get back on topic?

Except your definition of hacking is wrong. We refer to it as gaia refers to it. As for scripting, it is just a term that has been applied and generally accepted. Happens all the time in the english language.
And as for the common sense - There are alot of smart people here. The dumb ones with no common sense are usually the ones who get banned.

Exactly, this.

I'd write a longer post, but he did it for me.

This is true.
I am that 'friend'.
We both have been in about 30+ mod accounts.
I have generated items/gold over 3+ times.
Though moddog/admin panel and through exploits.

Certifiably true, although I never got that far into it before I was banned.

So you really think it's okay to call yourself a hacker because you can copy and paste some HTML?

Nice contributing with the people that dont know about this ;D
I support to ;D but i think this should be in guides section.

It's not a guide, It's a compilation of facts. Thanks for supporting though.

No, we think its ok to agree with the title gaia slapped on us.

Do you generally accept labels people slap on you? Say you dress in a fashion that can be considered scene. People call you scene but you don't consider yourself scene. Do you accept it then? If so, how about emo? Would you accept being labeled a cutter and an emo kid if you simply dressed similar to the scene trend?

[Smithno13]

Well obviously you wouldnt accept a label given to you that has a negative connotation to it. I see no negative connotation to "hacker"

So taking credit for talent you don't have isn't a problem? You hack into a website and you have the ability to change pages and shit, then you might be a hacker. Assuming you did it manually. You take WPE and make a filter that turns your name a different color or pass around some html page you copy pasted and you are not a hacker. End of story.
