Badge Links Are Banned From Beign Posted Or PMed

[hyprgig]

96 Club Points and I forgot how many of what stickers I got.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Hmm... Well, if it was a lot of stickers, that'd explain it, but otherwise, that's interesting...

[hyprgig]

I had a few backgrounds and maybe 5-10 stickers.

I am asking for the link for it. Why can't you just allow people to give the badge links if they don't charge anything for them.

@hypergig you are an interesting character, because you seem so pasionate about things, but at the same time, the points of view seem to conflict. in another post in the past 24 hours, in response to zonexus that he uses "webservices" for auto clicking you said that any way you looked at it - it was cheating. And in that instance we were discussing the clicks someone already had earned.  In the case of the badges it's getting something that hadn't been earned. To me - getting badges through links, when not earned is clearly cheating.

see below:

I do not care what you guys call. I call it a cheap tactic.

Nice come back, but that wouldn't stop me if I had a link and I already know a loop hole.

I have all of the links and all of that info, because I am an admin on another site.  and I had to archive / remove them.  That doesn't give me the right to USE them.

Is there anybody who has the old timer badge link who can give it out without being banned and for free?

this practice has been banned from MLT, MLNO and I also here BZPower, but I don't know that directly.  I am sure other forums don't have that restriction, but I don't know what they are.  However on my screen it's going across the top in Red, and written in the list of things banned. Why continue to ask for it???

<snip>And the only time I've seen somebody selling info was once.

I have personally seen it on sale on MLNO more than once: in the forum and on the wiki and on a personal page.

EDIT: Typos and additional posts so that I am not double posting.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Personal Page? ... Dang it. *Goes to search out who I believe to have this PP advertising it*

/EDIT: ...? It still up? Because I don't see it where I thought it'd be...

[MÆLXTRØM]

Haven't seen that.

I had over 10,000 club points before CPs were deleted. =P

[hyprgig]

I didn't really know how to earn CPs.

[ab§olute_Z3R0]

BOT please guys.

[lindavz]

BOT please guys.

Is there more to say other than it's against the rule so don't ask for it anymore?

[hyprgig]

I'll tell you my loophole Omega.What if you got the club code for the badge? That is my loophole. It is not the link, but the code needed.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Heh, apparently no club codes work yet, but I've yet to test that theory. And that only works for one badge, and that one doesn't give much anyway.

[hyprgig]

It still gives out the badge, but only to people who don't have it.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah, which is another reason that page was incorrect...

[hyprgig]

Yea, but it is a loophole none the less.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

No, because if you have the code, you've probably earned it. And even if you found it somewhere, it isn't that bad.

[hyprgig]

What if someone has given you th club code without you earning them through a LEGO Magazine?

[Easy899]

So. It isn't cheating unless you're caught. LEGO is not gonna catch us here.

I'm really surprised... Even if nobody is watching you should still do right. I also agree that your views on cheating are fuzzy. Dupes and messing with Lego's site code are cheating in my eyes.

So, topic closed?

[hyprgig]

As Omega said to me, don't act like a mod.

[lindavz]

What if someone has given you th club code without you earning them through a LEGO Magazine?

then buy the magazine, or find it in some alley somewhere and dust it off and use that copy, it's dirty, but no dirtier than using the codes you shouldn't be.

So, topic closed?

Yes, I think so, I think we've discussed every possible way to find loopholes and ways to get around the technicality of things.

[hyprgig]

Now  only there were some mods on, we could lock it
