Sabotage name filter

i was filtering bebita's name for some reason, and found that thrugh the filter i could fin out the name of the perso that sabbed even when ??? comes up.

[spoiler]Jul 31, 2009 ?????? Sabotage Infiltrated 200,000 details
Jul 31, 2009 bebita Sabotage Infiltrated 200,000 details[/spoiler]

results from filter.
if for example i was looking for one event to make sure it was a certain person that actually did the sabotage and found another date with ??? on all attacks, this would be unfair in my eyes.

Still, either no one else has tried it, or have, and know about it, and exploit it as we speak :?

there isnt too much that would be able to be exploited as most people that sabotage are in a war with their target and so the name of the target is just whoever they are at war with :P but yeah, there is always a way to exploit bugs

not as far as i know. See if someone can bring it up at the admin meet. I would try and get to some, but i can never work out what time it would occur relative to my time :mad:

The first is 09:00 Game Time.

All you need to do is find out how far Australia is ahead and then work it out from that. Not particularly difficult. ;)

:-D

@ the bug: you always have the chance that sometimes when someone sab you can see who exactly is was, while the sab still succeeds. The realm alerts greatly enhance the chance that you still get to know who it was.
So - if I understand the situation correctly - there's no bug. Otherwise, the server isn't sending info to you which it shouldn't.

STALKERS imo [-X :lol:

BenjaminMS, it is still a bug however. He was able to filter on bebita, and show up that the ??? sabber was bebita also. The line where he can see whom it is, is the chance you spoke of of seeing whom did it. The ??? sab should not be able to be filtered based on name to see whom it is

Now I am nearly lost I guess... *retreats from thread* Perhaps it's the wording, but I think I didn't follow it OK from the start then - or I am/was just too sleepy to realize what it meant
