I wasn't aware Fst banned members for trading via pm.

I know you just copy and pasted everything, backie is the real idiot not you.... but this has been a topic of discussion a while ago. Even on this forum we have anti css leak scripts for Firefox.

I have nothing to hide! let them come and check!

Do you think they'll spy on this thread? :doctor:

See the PM ids ? Admins here can easily trace who are their hunters, as they are checking who read the messages they sent.

Can sites do this to your privacy and still you support them? this is madness nad the defeat of all ur privacy.

well..good morning

Who cares if sites check these threads out their only trying to get rid of the dead wood from their sites can't blame them for that.

trying to defend one site by trying to attack the other one - it's a bit weak logic to say at least

the end justifies the means? my wild guess is that cheaters use the same logic :)

:yawn:

I really should put Hombre on ignore. Can anyone help me find the list, I seem to have forgotten where it is.

It is kinda scary because like someone else said, viewing trade threads dont mean you trade. That being said, I have viewed a bunch of trade threads and I havent been banned at what.cd (thankfully).

What is one of the few trackers it would really suck to lose (for me at least).

Wasn't really meant to attack either What or FST, more the stupidity of the double standard that when someone's invading your privacy by using their staff powers to read PMs (whatever the purpose), it's ok since it's benefiting you rather than getting you banned.

If you're going to knowingly break the rules, might as well step up rather than crying about their methods to catch you in the act.

I'm fairly certain they'd cross-reference it with other evidence like IP switches, or the CSS hits on the PM trade links, etc.

I don't really see the stupidity in the whole "double standard" you speak of.

Of course people will act negatively when their privacy is breached against their will, ultimately resulting in trouble/losses..
I'm not sure about anyone else around here :shifty:, but this seems like a very uncomplex idea to understand?

People react positively when benefiting, where as they act negatively when being harmed.

Personally I hate invasion of privacy, even if you insist it's helping me... The most important thing to me is my privacy.
You keep your benefits, and I'll keep my no-script and anti-css leak script running....:P
