the ban message was “api abuse on multiple accounts”

It’s sad that wasteof.money moderation repeatedly ignored me and @wasteofs’ reports of @qxva PGing, and refuses to remove the accounts with the n word in them, yet @JamieD132 was almost instantly banned for making 1 account to follow everyone else with a script. Others who have done this (not snitching) have not gotten banned.

I mean @qxva is banned so

I think it might also be an auto ban if the API detects a mass follow

@qxva was banned today.

He started pging (and did so a lot) almost a month ago. It’s not like we didn’t try to get him banned, either.

pging?

Password guessing (to steal the account) which is arguably more rule-breaking (since it’s illegal) than following everyone with a script.

pging random accounts with a script?

I don’t think anyone has done this since they’re too dumb (and hopefully it won’t be doable soon - https://wasteof.money/posts/66d2ef377a4a6e673f8aaf79#comments-66d41a0b7a4a6e673f8ab15f ). It’s mostly just manual (although the original @2’s password was 1234 so not too hard).

@poprock’s original password was literally password7 so

Wow

also, you don’t necessarily need an account to pwg

Yeah but the fact remains that qxva publicly advertised his pgs on wo.m and even after people reported them he took around a month to get banned
