The stupid thing is they dont buy LFS but they pay money to the server host for admin privileges and to not lose bonuses on the cruise server's go figure LOL.

I think that is seriously sad.

Skinzinho

seems familiar too. he used a white text name did he not ?

EDIT:
to make it very very clear to everyone who does not understand why LFS developers do as they do.
LFS is as far as i know © right ?

Copyright is a legal right that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution. This is usually only for a limited time. The exclusive rights are not absolute but limited by limitations and exceptions to copyright law, including fair use. A major limitation on copyright is that copyright protects only the original expression of ideas, and not the underlying ideas themselves.

COPY right does NOT mean the right to copy !

The term "piracy" has been used to refer to the unauthorized copying, distribution and selling of works in copyright.

Also they hand out bans a lot and the users can purchase an "unban".

one of the simple reasons is that its not easy to buy a LFS license on various continents.

Oh all is forgiven then perfectly fine to crack a host and a game if its difficult to buy lol.

you really need to dig yourself down if you cant get a credit card online.
from any bank in the world. any major creditcards can be used for paypal.
so thats pretty far out to say really.

that doesnt justify you crack games in any way tbh.
lots of free games out there to play if you cant afford it.

In today's standards, seems to be so. Same applies in real life methods as well.

We have to just keep adding phrases to server language blacklist to prevent them from coming back.

Pretty annoying, not least that their own users are being cheated, lol

Is there no way someone via external means can forcefully shut down their domain and hosting? Can't something be done, legally or illegally? Surely Scawen can leverage off having some kind of right in owning LFS and its assets and those fiddly copyright stuff that the tweak domain in question is breaching..

We've written to the hoster and the domain register. I think it was the hoster simply ignored us and the register told us they would only respond to a letter from a lawyer.

Basically they just want money from the people who pay them, and have no care or concern if their services are being used for criminal purposes. It's the same story with that scam we recently noticed. Their hoster has not replied to repeated mails. They just aren't interested, they prefer to keep the customer unless somehow forced.

To do anything that would have any effect would be a lot of time, effort and money, without any guarantee of success. Even if shut down, the criminals would simply set up again with a new name. They would have to be locked up but seriously, that isn't going to happen. No-one really gives a shit if some game developers are losing some money due to pirates.

I'm sorry, but this is not personal.

Hi Scawen,

Could you post that hosts details.

As I'm sure if any legit servers were using it they would change hosts.

Thanks
Simon

I miss the good ol days where people just advertised crack in the servers

Since reporting the host and domain registrant doesn't help, perhaps those users who have been scammed to "pay to unlock banned account" can post the Lfsp bank account, bank, Paypal or other details here.

Then someone can officially report and get that account and bank holder frozen for fraud or something to stop all this nonsense. Make it a legal case this way, without the trouble of court fees or a lawyer to challenge the domain host.

Better still if someone doxxes the account holder, that way he himself will get police treatment for the fraud he is doing...

But as a duplicate of the previous one it may well appear again.

If they are using a bot then this will not be resolved anytime soon - see if secretuser3kk comes up...

Could LFS not run the words in an MSO packet through a blacklist before it prints it to screen? It could then do some combination of blocking the message; logging the IP; kicking/banning the user; notifying you for verification; etc.

bad idea. Are you ready to write code AI for verification messages? Or think that devs has time to react to this messages?

Can you explain where is here fraud?

Users to paid money but not got service? May be they was unbanned at cracked servers (who told about LFS master server?)

I would say not fraud but I wonder if Paypal know what they are involved in.

may be no need to react to lfspro now?
How many users online there is?
One of reason why LFS Pereulok is closed it was big online. "We" grew and become big. A little much more time then online in official servers may be less then at LFS Pereulok online. This is wrong.

Repeat83 reading your post history lol.

Anything to do with cracking you defend.
