Subject: Please HELP, my groups been invaded!

Hello there, I need help. Fast. My bungie.net Fan site was invaded and ruined by a non-member. I don't know how he got in, but he screwed it up. Check the LINK if you want a laugh.

I'd really apprieciate some information on how I can take back control of my group. Please post me a message or send my Tag a PM.

Thanx in advance.

You don't understand. All members had to be authorised by me. The guy who invaded "surf and skate" was a member of my clan or our group. He was a Staff member of one of my other groups, but i don't see how that could give him the power to freely enter another of my groups and then make himself the Overlord before destroying it.

IT MAKES NO SENSE. Is this hack even possible!? Please Help me Bungie... give me my forum back.

FM.

Ps.I don't want to restart. There are about half a dozen articles on that site about my Clans organisation that I do not wabt to rewrite.

Actually, no one can "hack" into a group. Someone must have given that person an administration power.

Please I don't want to get really angry about this :o), but I'm not lying. This was exactly the kind of thing I feared....

I NEVER allowed anyone to have command priviledges on my site. Certainly not the guy who did this. He wasn't even a member (All members have to be authorised). However I did start another group and gave him some powers in that one. To my knowledge though, that shouldn't have given him the ability to join my origianl group and ruin it.

Does anyone know how that is possible and more importantly, can the moderators/bungie give me my site back?!

The only two ways people can get power in a Group are:-

* From the administrator himself;

* From a staff member.

If you're absolutely positive that you gave out NO powers to anyone then I'm clueless as to what has happened. But there's no way to "hack" the column, words from Bungie.net's Overlord himself.

I suppose, if you have anyone else who could have physically accessed your computer, they could be the problem here.

and i doubt very much that Bungie will sort it out for you, even if it wasn't your fault. They take a very strict path, and clearly state that they are not resposible for what happens to a personal group site.

Absolutely didn't invite this guy and I'm damned sure I didn't give Staff powers to any one who would. He was a known problem, before this even happened.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Surf and Skates is a friend of Sonny Forelli. Those 2 go around and take people over.

ABC HQ and Warriors of Darkness are Groups of people who try to take other groups over.

I understand that they don't moderate sites, but this is a clear invasion and desecration of a fan site. What I'm asking for surely cannot be difficult for them. If they heard of a community that was violating the bungie.net/MSN terms of contract. I'm sure they have the power to shut them down, so why would this simple request be difficult.

If there is a MOD reading put me out of my misery. Am I wrong? Or can you help me?

I'd heard of Sonny F, but not Surf and Skate. To be honest when he kept MSGing me I thought he was just some punk Kid. Now I'll be more wary. Have you heard of someone called GreasySide up?

Notice alot of those names are based off of real accounts. I am EAGLES5, so he made Eagles59. Many of those names are mock copys from staff of mbt. has you can tell he tried to take us over once before.

Oh you are having a laugh... that's the worst news ever. That guy is in my Clan. I'm not sure if the Greasy side up in my Clan is one in the same, but I can assume he is. Thanks for the heads up.

That's interesting. It may explain why Greasy's gamer tag is not linked and when the .net Greasy joined my group he sent a PM msg telling me he was Greasy from my Clan.

There's a lesson to be learned here.

OK here is the final question. Did you give full control privs or edit security role + accept new member privs to anyone besides your self? If you have then there are your suspects. If you havn't make sure you havn't or no one has used your login.
