Imagine this for a moment…
You’re on MySpace (cause that’s where all the fake profiles of hot chicks hang out) and upon entering a forum thread… BAM! You’re greeted by wall-to-wall hardcore scat that makes the infamous TubGirl picture look like a garden full of tulips. And, it’s not just posted in the thread - it’s covering your entire screen and the thread is hidden behind it. You click your back button and see another thread entitled “Don’t go into any of the threads right now - something is horribly wrong”. Naturally, you jump in there to see what in the hell is going on. In there, it’s explained that a script kiddie who’s part of a MySpace troll group is using some very basic CSS to overrun all the threads with that… crap. You click the reply button because you want to add your two cents about this lameness and… Double BAM! Instead of a field opening up to enter your reply, you’re on a web page outside of MySpace. This time you get your eyes filled by a flash loop of a transsexual getting banged up the poop chute while in reverse cowboy - giving you the oh-so-lovely view of his/her meat pistol (penis/dick/schlong/whatever) bouncing up and down. It wasn’t the infamous Meat Spin, but very similar in nature. This not-so-cute little trick was being achieved by overlaying the entire thread with a clear .gif and linking it to that outside page.
That’s what a couple hundred people in a private group on MySpace have been dealing with over the past few days. They report the guy who’s doing it, the current profile he’s using gets deleted, he logs right back in with a new profile, and the process starts all over again. On Saturday, I decided to toss a wrench into this little game by posting some CSS in those threads that rendered them invisible. The code I posted is obviously a MySpace no-no, but I assumed it would be cool since I was preventing people from getting exposed to scat and whatnot. Well, a bit later my account got canned by their abuse team. The troll group did the old send-in-mass-false-reports-until-the-right-idiot-reads-one routine. Since they were emailing MySpace, this obviously didn’t take too long.
This wasn’t the first time I had been wrongfully deleted, so I knew my account could be restored. Here’s the back and forth that I had with their abuse team:
~~~~~~~~~
You guys just deleted me.
Hey,
friendID=31797452

^^^ Not cute.
I was using some basic CSS in this group:
groupid=102849397
to hide entire threads. Yeah, I know: that’s a big no-no. But, the
threads were all overlaid with scat by a script kiddie. It was a
let-people-be-exposed-to-hardcore-ass-busted-open-shit-porn or what I
did. Any right thinking person would assume you guys would prefer my
course of action.
Let me know if you’re going to restore my account. If not, you guys
are really a lost cause.

Hello,
We aren’t able to restore images, but everything else should be intact.
Sorry for the inconvenience; we appreciate your patience.
Thank you,
MySpace.com
~~~~~~~~~
Can you restore my blog subscriptions? This is the second time I’ve
lost my images / blog subscriptions over a delete / undelete.
P.S. can you kick the person in the nuts (or ovaries?) who deleted me?
30 seconds spent glancing over my profile should clue anyone in that
any reports against me should really be looked into before the big red
button gets pressed.
~~~~~~~~~
Hello,
We’re sorry, but we cannot restore images or blog subscriptions as we do
not keep a record of the information in question.
Thank you,
MySpace.com
~~~~~~~~~
The next day my profile was once again deleted. This time the troll group got it done by sending in reports claiming that I had links to pornographic sites on my profile.
Here’s where that currently stands:
~~~~~~~~~
You guys just deleted me again…
From last night:

After getting the above message, you guys restored me. Now, the same
group of script kiddies / trolls are sending in mass reports claiming
I have porn links on my page. And, again: I’ve been deleted over
nonsense. The links on my page don’t go to porn sites. How about you
give them a good look-over.
Again, will my account be restored? This is retarded.
~~~~~~~~~
Hello,
Please be patient as we are investigating this issue.

Why the above makes MySpace look like total douches…
1. The group being attacked is a “private” group - threads should only be able to be created, viewed, and posted in by group members. The only thing that’s really private is the group’s homepage. The rest can easily be walked right into by anyone by using the group ID number and knowing how forum urls are structured on MySpace. Lameness++
2. After the first complaint about scat, the abuse team should have gotten with the code guys and added a filter to prevent such attacks. The first complaint about such stuff was probably sent in about a year back. These are well known “exploits” (completely inexcusable weaknesses) that have been around for a long time on MySpace.
3. I didn’t get a message or anything from MySpace before getting deleted. This is VERY common. Tons of users; including my friend Yuri, have been canned without reason or warning. Got a beef with someone on MySpace? Simply send in a bogus report (abuse@myspace.com) claiming that they’re a known sex offender or some shit and they’ll be gone in no time.
4. When I said “any reports against me should really be looked into before the big red button gets pressed”, I wasn’t talking out of my ass. I’ve been blogging on MySpace about security issues for some time now. I’m the guy who broke the story about the QuickTime worm, had the pleasure of providing info to the FBI on a case involving someone who was spreading a payload of evilness via flash redirects to fake porn sites (no link, story was in my MySpace blog), and pwned Tom into changing some completely inaccurate info he had in his blog. I openly criticize them when they need it and have even taken up for them on occasion. If anything on my profile was in violation of their TOS, I’m sure I would have heard about it by now.
5. The last time my account got deleted / restored was back in July. So, it has been almost a year and they still don’t have a way of restoring someones blog subscriptions and pics after a wrongful deletion.
6. How in the hell do I get restored one night and then deleted again the next day? They obviously don’t have a cell in their database for employees to put notes into in relation to accounts.
7. The “pornographic” links the trolls reported were links to the homepages of AdultJokes.com and BurntPickle.com. Both of which are edgy and have some links to porn sites, but don’t have any in-your-face-boobage on them. Calling them pornographic puts Fark in that same category for Drew’s link to Foobies (NSFW). And, considering the fact that “Hot Preview Pictures” from the SuicideGirls regularly rank as the most viewed blogs on MySpace, I felt pretty safe in assuming that the sites I listed passed the MySpace decency standard.
I’ll update this blog once I get a response from their abuse team. In the meantime, you can expect a bunch of comments from the trolls claiming that I rape babies and all sorts of awesomeness. They’ll also mix in things that are true: I’m a convicted felon, run a porn site, was well-known for my antics on AOL over ten years ago, etc. This is all info they were clever enough to pull from my Bio and other public urls. lol
Keep in mind that these are internet trolls. They don’t even believe the stuff they are saying. It’s done to get people all worked up and engaged in ridiculous debates. In fact, the script kiddie in question has been messaging all of my MySpace friends and getting them all fired up. Trust me, he just pulled off a legendary feat as far as trolling goes. Having the admins at a major site delete a well known user over BS and getting hours of fruitless debate out of his friends is priceless in their little world.
Before anyone states the obvious, I understand that MySpace is a privately owned site and I don’t have any “rights” on there. Duh… This isn’t about that. It’s just a really good example of why so many people love to trash on them.
Update (4/04):
My account got restored again yesterday. No word from MySpace about this mess - they simply restored the account and left it at that. My buddy Rob Renfro from the Trailer Park Gangstas apparently spearheaded an email campaign asking that my account get restored. Thanks Rob.
FYI: the troll behind this whole mess goes by the handle “The Guy Your Mom Warned You About”.

Can I report the guy who sent me the message stating he is the one who has had your account deleted TWICE?? He told me “how would you feel if your 14 yr old was surfing porn sites?” Well, as a parent and someone in the legal profession, it is the PARENTS responsibility to monitor their children’s online activities. I personally did not see anything on your page, nor have I ever received anything that would be even REMOTELY construed as illegal activity. In fact, you have ALWAYS been most helpful with any of my myspace questions to you. I think of you as a Myspace guru, not a porn pusher!!
Gayle
re: Gayle
Thanks for the kind words. I think they deleted the profiles he was using yesterday already.
Good luck to getting your profile restored. We need the Myspace Ninja back!
Man, I was kind of hoping for some credit. Oh well, I do this for the kicks anyway…
HI GAYLE! Long time no chat! Hit me up sometime doll!
One more thing, I take offense the the “Script kiddie” comment..I write all of the HTML codes I use and if you examine the code, you’ll see that. So I don’t fall into the “Script kiddie” definition as described in your wikipedia link. That is defamation of character my friend. And it’s just wrong. If we were on myspace I’d report you…lol
Sounds to me like Myspace needs to seriously investigate each report better with a fine tooth comb rather then take someones word for it and delete.
Bro Myspace has a shitload of problems. Their staff is unqualified and in way over their heads. They’re trying to keep hold of this overgrown monster so they can reap all the profits instead of hiring qualified employees. On top of that they are getting hit in the media with all kinds of shit about bad things happening to children because of myspace… I wouldn’t try to do what you are doing anymore through your LOLO profile. What you need to do is create a profile for doing your computer geek shit with that is sacrificial from the get go. That way when it (you) gets nuked it is no big deal. That way you keep your real profile and the other one is no real loss. You’re smart enough it has me wondering why you didn’t think of this before. Maybe because you would not have the Millions of friends on your “bogus” profile but I’m sure you could figure a way around that? Rock On bro!
Yeah myspace really needs to straighten up their reporting system. I had a video uploaded with almost 800,000 hits and myspace deleted it saying it was reported there was porn in it. Of course there wasn’t since it was nothing but a video of car crashes and i since have upped it again. They gave me a major hassle about it. Saying that it was reported as porn so they had to delete it and there is no way to restore it and the people that had it listed under their favorites nor the number of hits it had recieved.
Another problem I had was reporting a known problem. I sent you a message about this LoLo. I went and checked it out. Embeded in a spam message sent to the inboxes of two people I know, their was code to send an Outlook Express email to from their computers to 116.160.207.85 zapcechy.adsl-llu.static.bluetone.cz. It was a loop process that kept repeating every minute until their modems were disconnected. It used a phony delete button to engage the process. The spam message was sent from a computer from someone on their friends list and someone before from their friends list. So I have no way to find the orginal code which triggered this chain. I reported this to myspace and they said that my account is going to be investigated for having this message, eventhough I had to have it to send the exploit to them to report it. That my account is going to be deleted after the investigation blah blah blah. Then finally I got ahold of someone else and they just basically said my account is clear and they will investigate the message. Then a day later they shut down my in/outbox on my page for 8 hours
I asked them why it was shut down and they said that it was just verify it was working properly.
Its just one big mess. We need you back LoLo!
No, what we need is something like MySpace that, I don’t know, ACTUALLY WORKS!
Shame on you, LoLo !!!
How dare you think MySpace should be used for something other than blaring the latest Br1t-newz to 11-yo’s.
Plus, Rupert Murdoch LIKES the scat-vid’s.
welcome back, best fake friend.
To the kiddie scripter -
I’m not a lawyer but I believe a person has to have character to have it defamed.
LoLo - you’re appreciated by a wide silent audience that should give you feedback but don’t. Be strong and persevere. The troll community can chortle among themselves, but most of them are idiot savants who also chortle over who can put the biggest breasts on a furre hentai picture.
“The jackals bark but the caravan doesn’t stop for them.”
Why don’t those dipshits on MySpace back up people’s accounts before deleting them? Or at least send out a warning that your CSS was in violation of their rules so you can tell your side of the story and be justified?
Morons. Deleting the Ninja looking out for us all is SO not cool.
You’ve helped me in a jam and I appreciate it so much. That damn site myspacescum is really a bitch. I saw so many people listed as dangerous pedophiles. So I checked each one out. Looked like average guys and gals to me. So I decided to write to them and give them the link to the site so they could see what was written. They were devastated that this was going on behind their back. I tried to write to the myspacescum, nope, can’t do it. You can put your best friend up there as a danger as a joke, but then you can’t get it off. Great stuff. I reported them to myspace so many times but they never did anything. It’s not like the site was really going after these kiddie snatchers, they were just letting you post shit about anyone. Now that should be stopped as it only means, your next!!
whats the saying?…MYSPACE A PLACE FOR WHORES or was it MYSPACE A PLACE FOR DOUCHES?
Lolo you are appreciated but also you are not alone! Just look at it this way they probably delete you for showing them up and doing the job they are supposed to be doing in the first place! As far as the Baby Kiddie Scripter he’s a joke at best and will eventually get bored and try and steal someone else’s css as long as its different from the other that he has stolen and copied!
Clause? Like santa clause? Or like the clause in the BS lawsuit you’re drawing up that’s gonna bitch slap you for obtaining IP’s illegally? Please clarify.
Just to let you know up front: people like you, me, and Del Harvey of Perverted Justice are all in the same boat: yes, we are net.vigilantes (ha, I’m old school myself!) but we all go through the same experiences each to achieve our totally different goals; namely to bust naer-do-wells/pervs/scammers.
I am glad to see that you got your MySpace back. Perhaps the folks at MySpace should take a hint from the folks at Facebook to disallow the graphical customization of individual pages/profiles. :-/
Glad the myspace ninja is back again! Give em hell, LoLo!
Good luck to getting your profile restored. We need the Myspace Ninja back
Well said. I agree that myspace needs to fix a lot of crap. These kids will get bored soon enough.
This is more fun anyway. . idn’t it?

Or even better to help othas. Rele, how many uz in yer 30’s? prolly almost all of uz, an u all still aint gettin dat showin lil kids shit faced porno aint iight. Immagine how dats affectin society later on, u think if kids growin up wit dat that dey gunna be able to lead a stable life style?

LoLo, u be a good motha fucka an we down hea in da crib ready to bac u 100% cuz of how u be. An wuts his face kiddy scripter, all wut u do says is dat u cant get laid if all u lookin at is porno. Damn straight. keepin it real, breakin down walls i likes wut im seein.
Will someone be kind enough to post a link to a valid and updated Ebonics to English dictionary so I can fully grasp the essence of the comment above me please?
Thanks in advance
How do you contact myspace after your page has been deleted?
fuck yall
a mane porn aint rite.o yah and “the guy your mother warned me about” come down my hood and you wont see anotha day
ayo, “The guy your mom warned u about” i think you should take a long hard look at your name an figure out why its like that. most of the time ur mom warns u bout scum and people that rape lil kids an people that go to jail an get it up the ass by some guy named bubbles. So let me tell u now you old pedofile bastard, im a second year programmer, i make the video games you play on your damned systemes. I have a future, i have skills, i have FRIENDS, i also have a beautiful girlfriend. Now let me see what could a guy the age of 30 whos hobbies include showing little children porno and nasty shit along with more than likely his penis have to look forward to at the end of the day. Hmm let me think, maybe his hand and some little kid chained in his basement because hes a lonely ugly nasty fuck with no life and no woman.
So why don’t you just grow a spine, grow some morals and maybe go to some sort of psychologist. Now is this english enough for you old man? or did you fail that class to? Lol, i don’t understand what sick mother fucker would get pleasure out of what you do, but i assume thats why they call them “sick mother fuckers” and i cant wait to see you in prison one day. Ill be sure to write a petittion to have you executed for your transgressions. Now dispute me if you wish but who else thinks that there children or any little child should be seeing some nasty shemale poppin out some shit while a guy jerks it eh? Imean how do we kno that this guy isn’t just posting pictures of himself, who knows all i kno is hes an idiot, his life is a waste, hes prolly goin to prison and he shames those of us who have morals.
P.S: Did ur dad pork u as a child cuz he couldn’t get nobody else? Cuz i read somewhere that people turn out like you do because a religious official or a parent/ family member has raped or violated the above mentioned. So im thinkin your messed up cuz yoru family is messed up. Its just how it works.
^ LOL a Trolls dream right there…too bad I’ve hung up the clogs.
You win Tupac.
Hey “guy mom warned you about” its funny how you cant find one good defense as to why you do what you do. Oh yeah, because its crap….kinda like the guy who sits on a street corner and harrasses strangers for money for his next bottle of booze, only ten times worse. I’m sure hes proud of what he does, and where his life is. So amid all this nonsense and name calling, I would challenge you to give one good reason why your a troll…..
Still waiting,
I’m glad you think you are so bad in the cyber world, I would take you apart piece by piece in the “real world” for the crap you pull….as a US Marine and father of three, I’d love nothing more than your smug face on my doorstep someday, then i can show you what “offensive” really is, cowardly comp geek. If you wanna call my bluff say so, and i’ll make sure lolo gets you my address…..
Later, you piece of s**t
Jake
Hey Lolo
Can you get a campaign going for us, we had 50k friends, 385k plays and so on. Were a very well known band in the midwest and got deleted for no reason. Please help us!!!

You know, “The Guy That Your Mom Warned You About”, Ryukotse wasn’t all that hard to understand. You script kiddies are what I call a Melvin, a stereotypical nerd (complete with calculator and pocket protector) with a nasily voice and no social skills. Internet trolls and script kiddies just don’t get it. If you and I met offline and you made me mad, let’s just say that you wouldn’t be around to regret it. No one cares that you shove scat into the faces of unsuspecting web surfers. I mean, it doesn’t make up for your lack of social skills. Besides, if you’re so handy with computers, you wouldn’t just spend your time hacking MySpace. You would switch your black hat for a white one and sell your services to some random company and get paid good money. Money = good. Internet troll = Something Good… For me to poop on! Wait, you’d like that, you sick pervert. Basically, punks like you don’t deserve to even live. If it were legal to kill script kiddies and internet trolls, belive me, I’d lead the biggest group of Troll Slayers.
Speak Your Mind
