Phirate - Security System

12/16/07 09:00

We will not, under any circumstances, discuss details of the currently operational security systems that guard the drop system. This is necessary, there is no "perfect solution", and thus the set of tactics we use for determining the use of scripts must remain a secret.

That said, various people seem to believe that just because the system doesn't call them on it immediately, that it hasn't guessed what they're doing. Underestimating the anti-script gear is the fastest way to lose credits.

Unfortunately for Sam he not only fell afoul of it, but he is also now an object lesson on Rule #2:

You do not talk about the security systems.

The only appropriate venue for reports about security is the Feedback box on your dashboard. While we may not censor security-related posts (depends on our assessment of the threat to Entrecard itself), posting on the forum is a guaranteed way to have us assume you were attempting to break the system for personal gain.

Under these circumstances, we have no choice but to take you seriously, regardless of whether it was some curious tinkering or an active attempt to subvert the security systems. In this case, since the scripted drop system caught Sam in the act anyway, I see no need to impose additional punishment.

Let me be utterly crystal clear on this: The security system is not a toy to play with. We must take any attempts to subvert it with complete seriousness, and at best you will find yourself losing credits fast. Just don't go there.
