(Not a bash thread) h4x0r trainers dropping dll's

By the way, a lot of trainers/cracks/patches/keygens unpack bassmod.dll and other similar ones to the Windows system directory and leave it there, too. It annoys me but most people don't mind; it's not malware, though...

[...] As for comparing reports about malware with reports about code ripping, you can't be serious. Do you understand the difference between the difficulty of proving this one and that one?

joe, we've given up trying. i don't want to waste the energy nor the effort to go about all of that again. even if we had a video of him doing this where he is commenting out loud how he attaches ollydbg to trainers and notes the .exe changes and then uses that info for his code points to make his options, where he is commenting on how he is dropping .dll's onto people's machines into places they should not go (windows, c: drive, etc.) and that he is killing OTHER people's trainers this way, and where he is laughing at GCW face because he is doing all of this and making you look like you do to the rest of us who do this work legitimately... yes even if we had a video you'd say it was false. that's how i feel about it.

over and over this guy lies to you, and he actually HAS lied to you and i have never once told you anything that wasn't untrue. you even now bad-mouth long-time helpers of GCW like dabhand who has helped countless users (and mods) here. maybe there will be a place soon people can post thier game modification work and download game modification files safely. a place that moderates this stuff away and rebukes people like hax0r.

now i don't want to escalate this nor get caught up in this and get 'banned' for my reporting a LEGITIMATE finding. i didn't come in here first, nor did i ask anyone to report this stuff. the fact that there is a tool that had to be created to remove these files SHOULD bring you pause, but it doesn't-

I asked you to send me one executable and one URL in an E-mail. If that's too much of an effort for you, I won't make an effort to help you with your still ongoing war with/against h4x0r either. I have to say that the rest of your paragraph is complete bullshit, although, as a human and not as a moderator, I understand your frustration.

So what do you expect me (= GCW staff) to do? Delete all of h4x0r's trainers because he's a liar or because some of them may contain some kind of, intentional or not, malware? This whole thread is still about some vague ideas but nothing specific, except that single infected trainer that was cleaned. Nota bene: cleaned, so it didn't contain some custom malware against some custom targets - like what this thread is about -, "only" a widely-spread virus. Whatever specific was reported was acted upon.

Oh, I see where this is going to: you're trying to discredit me as a moderator, right?

I know that you two know each other and, therefore, are obviously on the same side but I can't bother: this still won't make me partial either towards or against you. Also, if you had read my objective reasons, you would know exactly why I don't like him. However, there have been several cases in the last few years when he should've been banned - most importantly accusations against other forum members that turned out to be unjustified - and I've actually been partial towards him by letting him get away as he's undoubtedly such a useful member of this forum. See a counter-example, senseman, who was caught warezing and whose ban was requested by several persons until I gave up trying to help him and did ban him, after all.

See, I have nothing to hide...

Then why did you write this post at all, what were you trying to achieve?
