Got zOMG? : The Cyberer Reformal System
Recently, I've noticed That even though it is much easier to cyber in zOMG because the Kneel button can work over and over again. No One does it! Because they love the game to much to care! Perhaps if we can stuff more and more cyberers into zOMG, We can reform them! And they won't even have a chance to cyber in zOMG until after they get out of the sewers, and by then, They'll forget all about it!
zOMG; A Noob Killer!
Ever seen a noob on zOMG? Ever seen their stats? Chances are, they've earned quite a few gold and Won't ask you to donate! Even though it would make sense for a noob to beg for money for their new ring, I've never seen it happen! Perhaps it's because talking isn't the point of zOMG. In other news, We've added a new column!
Scammers; The Living Brain Dead?
Seriously, How are you Ever going to make a living scamming things out of people, i guess when you grow up, you could scam money on poker and Trading Sites. But seriosuly, You'll never make any more than 20k a Year. Scamming is No Profession, And yet, so many people think it is, and practicing on gaia will help in their Future Career. Well, Here's The Deal. When You Say, Please Can I Have Your Password I Need It Bad This is not a scam plzzzzzz. Who does he think you are? No One In 2 Billion Years Will Ever Fall For That. And on The 2 billionth year, On December 30th, Somone Will Proclaim, No One Will Ever Fall For That in 4 Billion Years! Get It? No One's Gonna Fall For that, Ever. Duplicating Items, Gold Generators, And I'll Pay You Laters, Are All Scams. Don't Fall For Them, Defenders!
Harrassment; The Least Of The Crimes, But a crime indeed
Serious Harrasment; Meaning Someone Following you Around Asking for a donation, and not letting up even when you've said no, and Then asking for large items because it's their birthday, And yet you don't know them, If repeated, Is Considered Abuse Or Harassment. Of Course, It would be disgusting to report this 'Hi, Can We Be Friends? No. Please? No. Bye Then'. Make sure you know before reporting Anything that fits into this category, Because False Reporting is Also Against T.o.s, Of course, They'll Let You Slide For a Little Thing By Reporting Somone Who Said The S-Word Twice as Strong Language, But Reporting Somone Who Reported You For Cybering Because They Reported Me, Is not tolerable. Know How to show your work when it comes to reporting, And friends you had a long time ago and have long since deleted Are huge candidates to try and scam you, I learned this today by somone offering a gold generator and Then pretending to be a moderator within 10 minutes. Stay Safe!
Pumpernickel; And Strong Language
okay, We All admit it's funny when some 'Gangster' Noob Says : 'YOU MUTHA #$%** @$*&(@&* $**&@^*$^*@' And He Doesn't know what half of those words mean. But when somone is saying. 'he's such a #$%^, I mean what the $&*^&*& ^&^&&* Seriously %^*&^' That's never funny. Both offenses are reportable in the strong language category, And i urge you to put on your safety filters located in the account settings page if you don't want to see those. If somone swears once or twice, it's fine, but if they just don't stop, You can report them. If you feel the urge to swear, Swear in different languages. But if you just feel the urge to know What Pumpernickel Means In English... Pumpernickel Is German For Farting Bread. (Because Boy, Do you have gas after pumpernickel)
Turn Around ; The Difference Between Love and Cybering
Cybering is.... Somone you met two minutes ago wants to kill Your clean record online. Love is... I Put my pants on backwards and wore hats on my feet, I was in a rush to get to you. No matter what i'm doing, I wait for your call. And when the phone does ring, I rush to see caller ID. You Made me the Frame in second grade, I kept it. People Teased me for giving you chocolates on valentines day, But what do i care? If That girl Gives her your number another time, I may cut her phone line, But it won't matter since you turn her down. You get the point, Know the difference, Most cyberers claim They Love eachother, Tell Them The Facts.
Tyranny; Not a crime, But a hurtful mess
Tyranny Happens everywhere, Towns, Clans, Guilds, Even Aquariums. Typical Behavior of a tyrant can be considered Abuse if it is bad enough, But many Tyrants operate within the law. Towns Tyranny; It may be ordering people around and calling them hurtful names, or Telling people it was The tyrant's town and if they didn't get out he would hurt them. In Clans and Guilds, Tyrants often Will recruit people, Then promote them, then Ban them for no reason. Good thing there are no tyrants in this guild. In Aquariuns, Messages may be 'Bow down or i will come to your house and kill you' or 'Give me all your gold and items or i will find you and kill your family'. Guilds and Clans can get away with tyranny, Because they operate within the law, But it very much hurts. The other offenses are reportable and you should Do so as soon as you see it. Thank you My non-Tyrannical Guild-Mates.
Anime ; Could Gaia Face Lawsuits?
The Items; The Melonpan Of HaruHaru and Lovely Lady Soldier Wasabi are Based On The Animes; The Meloncholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya and Sailor Moon. The names have been changed, Bu anyone who's even seen a picture of these animes would know it is plagiarism, Even the description of the items are the same as the story. But, Did gaia change it enough to avoid a lawsuit? Here's The Plagiarism law, As Found online.
Plagiarism is taking the writings or literary ideas of another and selling and/or publishing them as one's own writing. Brief quotes or use of cited sources do not constitute plagiarism. The original author can bring a lawsuit for appropriation of his/her work against the plagiarist and recover the profits. Although not normally a crime, a person who plagiarizes is subject to being sued for fraud or copyright infringement if prior creation can be proved. Penalties vary depending on jurisdiction, the charges brought, and are determined on a case by case basis.
The Internet has made plagiarism easier than ever before. From elementary schools to the highest levels of academia, the ease of downloading and copying "untraceable" online information has led to an epidemic of digital plagiarism. Plagiarism detection software now exists and is used in schools to monitor student's work. If you adopt someone else's language, provide quotation marks and a reference to the source, either in the text or in a footnote, as prescribed by such publications as Format, The MLA Style Sheet, or another manual of style. Students who commit plagiarism may be subject to grade or disciplinary penalties, which vary by institution.
Intentional or unintentional use of another's words or ideas without acknowledging this use constitutes plagiarism: There are four common forms of plagiarism:
* The duplication of an author's words without quotation marks and accurate references or footnotes.
* The duplication of author's words or phrases with footnotes or accurate references, but without quotation marks.
* The use of an author's ideas in paraphrase without accurate references or footnotes.
* Submitting a paper in which exact words are merely rearranged even though footnoted.
The following is an example of a state statute dealing with plagiarism:
"Works to be submitted by students without substantial alteration.
1. It shall be unlawful for any person or business entity to sell, offer to sell, or advertise for sale any term paper, thesis, dissertation, essay, or report or any written, recorded, pictorial, artistic, or other assignment which the seller or advertiser knew or reasonably should have known was intended for submission by a student, unaltered to any substantial degree, in fulfillment of the requirements for a degree, diploma, certificate, or course of study at a university, college, academy, school, or other educational institution in the state.
2. This section shall not prevent any person or educational institution from providing tutorial assistance, research material, information, or courses in research or writing unless this service includes the preparation, research, or writing of a report or paper as outlined in subsection (1). No person shall be prevented by this section from selling or offering to sell services which include the typing, assembling, transcription, reproduction, or editing of a manuscript or other assignment prepared by the purchaser.
3. Any person violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083."
You Be the Judge, Will the companies Sue?
Scammers; Using Petitions To Get Passwords?
I've seen a couple scammers that PM Petitioners and Ask For Their Password So They can 'PM every single gaian about the petition', But of course 'I can't use my account, they will think i'm faking'. Don't fall for that. Very few people have, but i have my doubts. To ward them off say 'it's okay, i can PM them myself'. Sign Safely Fellow Defenders!
Gold Generators; They're fake, Duh!
Ever get PMs That Say 'www.gaiaonline. com/goldgenerator' as the URL, So you think it's real, But it really leads you to some site that looks like gaia, But really is a scam site. Do not fall for this, report it as offsite advertising, and if you click, it is also most likely going to fill you with spyware. Beware! And if you do click, run virus scans, These people want your password, don't let them have it! But what you can let them have is a big, Fat, Heaping Helpful of Reporting. Stay Strong Defenders!
