Child porn and syrnia

.
According to this news report, a Syrnia player has been found with child porn on his computer and arrested.

The player is Wickerman who is well known and highly ranked in the high-scores.  It appears Syrnia staff have hidden his account from the list of scores, although you can still see his details on a Syrnia statistics site.

This player has met up with many Syrnia players in the past and I believe one meet was at his house.

So future players and parents may want to consider these facts before thinking of playing this game or letting their children play.

Law enforcement may want to take a closer look at the private whisper chat logs from Syrnia too as older players often meet up (arranged through the game and elsewhere) with much younger players, beside the fact that Wickerman would have had many private chats here which could have information which could lead to further arrests. If Syrnia staff try to hide what could be potential evidence, there could be ramifications.

With most sites required by law to ask you to confirm you are 13 or over before they store your email details, Syrnia does no such thing.  There are serious failings in many areas here and a police investigation may be warranted.

Those stolen items

.
Word has got to me that there is a new excuse to try and hide the fact that a mod (as a player) has stolen over a million GP worth of items.  It seems this mod is using the excuse that they are holding on to the items for when I return to the game.

For a start, it is obvious I am not coming back to the game.  Mods froze me with the ticket saying it was because I put a song title in world chat, which many others have done and still do.  The real reason is I showed all the bent stuff they did and supplied proof and they did not like it, as it showed they are mostly power hungry meglomaniacs who probably break many data protection laws with the dodgy things they do.

So next time you hear a similar excuse, you know the mods are lying once again.

To prove a point, I created a ticket almost a week ago about the items and comments and got no reply.

Busy

Don't have a lot of time right now, but have a few things to post in the next few days.  Some interesting news for new potential players and some current players who may not be aware of it.
