OK guys...it appears Rudedog was not Rudedog...according to, um...Rudedog.

Read this thread where Rude claims Ian jacked his account and posted private information about him and pretending to be him.

I don't get it. Who normally is RudeDog? And what is Badtraders.com and what is the thread about? Is RudeDog saying Ian the Mod has used his account just for that post, or is it an ongoing thing, or what?

Rudedog, Rudy Ramirez is very well known and respected in the Prince community, he has been a hardcore trader and member of the online community for several years.

He runs and maintains a Bad Trader website, which has been around for a few years...Rudedog took over that page when the previous owner decided to move on.

I have known Rudy for years and traded with him numerous times, Rudedog is claiming that he and Ian got into a verbal argument on another thread which involved some insults, or something to that effect.

If you click the other links above Rude will explain the story himself, Rude has claimed that all the many recent posts made under his name "Rudedog" were in fact made and posted by Ian.

He claims Ian hacked his account, searched for private and personal information about Rudy online and posted said information here.

If this is true and Ian has hacked Rude's account then this must surely be grounds for removal of Ian as moderator.

You can't do that shit...no matter how you feel about someone or what insults get fired, i think that Ben or Matt should investigate this matter fully.

A dark cloud now hangs over the very notion of "moderation"and moderators, the accusation is a moderator has hacked a user account, posted numerous threads claiming to be him, rudedog, and posted private information about a user.

All for the sake of getting someone?...scoring points?, showing who's boss?, power tripping?

Very serious indeed...i hope we have an independent person to investigate this matter fully. Orgate.

Shit I thought you was joking now I'm doing it for real

motherfuckingeek!

liberation said:

Yeah, if it's true...

I said all through this and my other posts, if it's true.
I did not accuse Ian of anything...i simply posted links and restated what Rudedog, if it's him, said.

I belive that someone has access to his account, i can tell which posts are Rude's and which are not.

I know Rude, i know his posting style...you get to know people after years of seeing how the type, what they say, how they act and react.


Someone is playing games with his account, who else could have internal access to a user account except for a moderator?

liberation said:

Yeah, I saw them arguing about something... I did not read all they posted...

I would not think Ian would do this... If it's true... Wow...

very weird ... Ian wouldn't be posing as another orger. Maybe Rudedog let his account be deactivated and someone else has taken it?

please... this whole "pretending not to be myself and being an innocent victim" thing has been done before. though not often, and though clever on its surface, it's pointless and idiotic.

oh, and report to moderator

Lets wait for ians response.

I must say that some of those posts seem very unlike the Rudedog I've seen.

This is ridiculous.

If Rudedog's account has been compromised, he can report it to us and we'll investigate. In the meantime I suggest he change his password.

If someone is using your account, look closer to home - someone you know using your PC perhaps? An easily guessable password that someone who knows you might have figured out? Perhaps someone you pissed off with your "bad traders" list?
