Captain Decker just wasted an hour of his life trying to explain to someone who shall remain nameless (and extremely annoying) that a member of TK had NOT had their account hacked.

Please follow:

When you go to the member list and click on a profile, there is an option to view all posts by that member. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN INTERPRETING THESE RESULTS, as the search engine performs a simple text query. IT DOES NOT INTERPRET BBCode! Here's how this can get dangerous:

Captain Decker:
Shut the fuck up, Generic Member. Dumbass shithead!

missmanners:
quote by:
Captain Decker:
"Shut the fuck up, Generic Member. Dumbass shithead!"

*GASP* DRS, there are ladies present!!!


THIS can be interpreted as follows if one queries all of missmanners' posts:

posted by missmanners, forum name, topic, date
Shut the fuck up, Generic Member. Dumbass shithead!

Please click on the link before accepting the query text as an accurate representation of that poster's views, and then bitching about how their account has been hacked because they would never say such things!

:x

If I quote you in a thread, and someone searches for all my posts, what I quote from YOU can look like I wrote it. The search will display ALL the TEXT in the post. It doesn't distinguish QUOTE text from ORIGINAL text.
