But he did visit you...

First I was sad.
Now I'm scared.

He is gonna offer you free MC, as long as you click the link he gives you.

Wait a second...most of the people reporting a "visit" on this here thread have at one time or another said something critical regarding PGI.

Uh oh.

They've turned over forum banning to a bot haven't they?
Sigh.
See you guys in a week.

I've never said anything critical about PGI in my life!

I mean, I may have made an image or gif or two on the subject... but I never said!

Ah but you liked my posts that criticized PGI. Death by association!

[Shifty McSwift]

Not really but I wish. I am far too lazy and cheap to multi account.

[Jackal Noble]

Wow, this is cray. And to think I posted this on a whim after a few coincidental observations. I guess I can be right about something once in a blue moon on here.

[TLBFestus]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

He visited me too, so maybe it is after anyone who has ever been critical. That or the anagram "Swamp to Rule" is just a coincidence

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Well that's definetly a bot. It has even visited my alt.

Yeah, he visited me too, and I haven't posted in here for months. So most likely a bot.

And I dare say that I didn't openly critize PGI to date, at least not that I know of. I'm too apathatic (is that a word?) to get worked up enough for that kind of stuff.
So if he's marking me for the inevitable purge, I'd be surprised....and rather miffed

Might be a crawler collecting data on players who have forum accounts. People share all kinds of things on their forum profiles. One interesting stat that can be collected is whether a player is banned or not ands if the ban is because of cheating.

i got hit on the 11th eek

I also was visited. Strange, no info on the "mwo super all" forum profile.. looks like someone programmed a bot to just scroll through forum pages. My guess is either a school pet project, or someone WANTED to creep us all out, and succeeded

[Appogee]

Someone is collecting data.

The questions are: what data? And for what purpose?

Our profiles contain:

• personal information such as birthday, location, gender
  
• when we signed up
  
• who are our forum friends
  
• our topics, posts, numbers of posts, and average frequency of posting

Who would want such data? How could they use it?


Hypotheses:

• PGI is trying to build a profile of their customer base pre-MW5.
  
• Harmony Gold's lawyers are gathering input for their court case.
  
• Hackers are gathering personal information for use in payment system fraud.
  
• Someone from Reddit is going to analyse and post data on The Brown Sea.
  
• Paul is running Sentiment Analysis on posts so he can set the MatchMaker to Punish.
  
• Tina suddenly realised there's a community and maybe it has something to do with her job.

There was a thread on reddit about some people getting banned, how to identify it and then someone made a short list about such players, saying it based on what the forum profile says. So it was probably his crawler, you need a forum profile to read the text.


And I'm getting a clairvoyant vision about this thread not making it till Monday.

I, too, was visited. No-one visits my profile unless I was mean to them and they want to 1-star me
