Everyone's been raving over the new e-mail verification system that's gonna be implemented. It's supposed to keep bots from signing up because nobody's going to go to hotmail and sign up for like 100 accounts just to register 100 unique bots, right? Of course not, they're going to go to mailinator.com.
The site's function is a little hard to explain but basically, it's a free service that has e-mail servers that accept incoming mail to their domain name with any address before the @ sign. So if I sent an e-mail to fodcvhjaj@mailinator.com, it would go through. Not only that but I could go to mailinator.com and check that account. I don't have to pre-register the account there either. I can make it up while registering and check it afterwards since the mail server will accept anything. It's designed to let you sign up at places you know are going to spam you without giving them an e-mail address you actually use
There's several other services like this and Joymax can't block them all. So really it's just going to get rid of like 10% of botters that aren't very sneaky and annoy the rest of us.

Ah thank you so much.
Thanks for telling ALL THE BOTTERS out there, that this is how to avoid the next hurdle. Thanks a big f***ing lot for doing the botters work.

Yes,m maybe they would work it out soon enough, but it wud keep the dumb ones out for at least a few weeks.

Seriously instead of almost making a guide for them instead of saying something like "You know there are ways to get around this." To me this is just as bad as advertising a bot site.

Are people really that ignorant? Common guys... the gold botters are not that stupid and would find a way around it anyways. Give them some credit. Desolator didn't just give away the big "secret".

No but putting out in the open for mainstream to see is just as bad.

yeah U can just go to mailinator.com and check any address after an e-mail has been sent to it. No setup beforehand required.

yay, finally someone who knows what's really up. There are botting forums out there, people and others that know lots of technical stuff like me on them. It's impossible to keep stuff like this from getting out when millions of people already know. Most of my teachers and basically every other student in the IT department at my college know about that site or others like it and botters are in the business of knowing how to beat pathetic security systems so I'd say probably half of them already know how to beat it and they'll tell the other half that doesn't know.
If I posted "I know a way to get around it but I'm not telling anyone" then everyone would bitch about me lying and saying I don't really know. Or I could have just not said anything and let everyone bitch about how it's not working after it's implemented and explain it then. Either way, it's a stupid idea that Joymax is wasting development time on.
Now if I knew a glitch to get elixers to always work and I was the only one who knew, of course I wouldn't post it here but too many people know about mailinator (by the way, I don't know any glitches like that lol)

I think you just helped the non-legits on this forum by telling them how to make lots of easy email addresses. Sometimes you're a little TOO zealous, Mr. I have 2 IT degrees.
