Kids arguing about who was right, it was like a terrible group of people in a thread attempting to prove their point thinking they were good at debating and making logical cases based of what other people have stated with their jesus-knowledge. Yeah that's not really why he linked the thread. | ||

I'd caution you to be careful if you receive PMs from "popular" users who have the letters i or L in them. Why? Because on TL, capital I and L look the same! We used to troll each other by making accounts like liquid`nazguI (Last letter is small L) but when Dr.HelvetLca tries to scam beta keys...we have a small issue  . Suffice to say the culprit has been IP banned, but just stay safe/classy.More beta keys will be available tomorrow. Where are you getting all these keys from? | ||

Just make the names in the pms from mods have the red/blue name, or make a script that checks for L and i (and existing users) and warns the user about the possible scam. | ||

I remember some kid posted a trojan on a popular forum a couple years ago and the moderator contacting his ISP and emailed his mom (don't ask me how he got the email address) letting him know what scum her son was. edit: nevermind, seemed he didn't do anything and also: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=80844 | ||

A good way to check is to just copy and paste the "I/l" and put it into google. I put the lowercase "L" in for instance and liquipedia comes up under it. So in this case it's an L which the poster above got right :D | ||

How about trace the IP, google earth their house and send them a pic of it saying "we know where you live, you try that again, and we'll point our huge collossi laser beams at your house!" Or we can IP-ban their city. | ||
