If assist is gathering this info, its available to the NSA.

omg... do you really think the NSA cares about a microbe like you ?

Here is another scenario.

AA player is a bit older, has a 15 year old daughter.

AA player leaves assist open after leaving server and going to bed. Daughter has webcam sex with bf on skype.

Assist has now made multiple child pornography images. Congratz, you have literally just commited many crimes of producing child pornography, distributing child pornography, and if that ever happened I could only imagine the outcome.






Again, this is me looking out for the people, and the game. This could backfire on the admins, or any player. It leaves wayyyyy too many open possiblities

I agree I'm sure there are alot of players that feel this way, but accepted it the way it is,
I wouldn't be playing if I was worried about my privacy being invaded or my data be compromised .

1 good point u brought up about was about Skype sex or being idled or just having assist running in background



My point is there are ENDLESS possibilities why this shouldn't be. And ONLY 1 of why its valid.

AND its stunning that I need to spell out these scenarios for you people. Thats the sad part most people dont read it, and most who do dont put 1 and 2 together and realize its taking SS of whole comp and anything on screen.

Someone could even intentionally leave assist open effectively forcing it to take screen caps of illegal content. - perhaps someones daughter was checking themselves out on webcam, or taking pics for a bf? - as the stated event


They tip off authorities they think this so call Assist program has taken pics of their under age daughter and is being hosted online.



Now imagine that was REAL and they got hacked or something and it ended up getting spread on the net?

Perhaps you or a family member is filing taxes online?

Oh, there goes your SIN ( canada ) or social insurance number and financial info.




Need I go on?

Seriously, you seem to have a faulty impression on when and how we take SS.
And I can guarantee that some of the 2 000 000+ PBSS I've inspected, I've seen plenty of off game images.

Man your throwing around grantees with some made up numbers? cmon dude.

Even viewing 2million pictures would take 23 days if you managed to have it on a slide show flicking a new one EVERY SECOND! - somehow didnt need to sleep or blink or eat or nada!

Lets also assume you are human and sleep, and work, and eat, and various other activities, lets also assume, and HOPE you "inspect" screen shots for longer than 1 second.

Perhaps you slightly exaggerated? lul ;)

Accually it was a low estimate.

Google PBSScollector and you'll see that it was an automated download and detection system for PBSS.
I also manually inspected all the PBSS, perhaps just glancing on each, but enough to notice visual cheats, and also see that the image I'm looking at was the game/Desktop or web browser

Not my video, but should be an indicator on how it worked.

OHHHHH so you meant to say you know of a program that has SCANNED over 2 million screenshots.

Not you, yourself. Thats quite a bit more believable.

I also personally see quite a difference in the definition of INSPECTED and briefly glanced at or has appeared on my screen.

That is nit picking tho.



Can you give me a single example of a pb ss showing the desktop or something other than ingame? I never saw it and cant believe PB or a reputable company or game would be harvesting that kind of info and leaving these kinds of gaps and possibilities for errors as i mentioned before. - by taking screenshots of anything other than the game itself.


There is also the fact that PB was never a real full screenshot generally scaled way down and cropped.

And your a condescending, power abusing, privacy breaching, horrible excuse for an admin.
That would be "you're". That's just your perspective. If I was truly power abusing, you would still be banned. I've done more benefit for this community than you could ever hope for and that's not being arrogant and I'm not talking about maps.

At least I wish the best for the community
I don't? Hmm. Seems to me that without this community, Assist would be pointless.

Yet you post evidence of the power that can be miss used.
Keyword is can. Hasn't happened in the last 5+ years, why would you think that would change?

Eliz knows how to conduct himself as a respectful professional admin.
Respect: you gotta give it to get it.

Its disgusting where this game has gone
I agree. There's too much democracy in Assist where an asshole such as yourself is allowed to play.

People like spanky should be doing work merely behind the scenes - if at all. Because he clearly cant manage to maintain a proper, fair, respectful conduct. You just shoot down raised concerned, name calling and so on.
If by behind the scenes, you mean stay off this forum, that won't happen. See, I do actually help people. Check below my name, 40 internetz. That means people agree or thank me. Look at yourself, -21 internetz. I don't think people agree with you much. I am quite fair actually and I'm sure the other admins agree. I am respectful to those that warrant and give respect. If someone comes on here complaining or someone can't read the text on the homepage, they don't really deserve my time now do they? Except you :) This is amusing. As for the name calling, you instigated it.

Im sure if people knew theyd be angry.
You have stumbled across the whole point of the TOS.

Once again. 100% beside the point.

The possibility stands. and again, not only available to those who currently have access to it....BUT if it got hacked or compromised in any way.

It also hasnt been 2 years. IIRC this was rolled out like 5 months ago?
It's not beside the point, it's a valid counter-argument. The possiblity also stands for Facebook to sell your information or for someone to break into your home or someone to hack into your computer. The possibility of privacy breach is ALWAYS there. That's life. Too many people complain about privacy. If you want to be private, go live in the woods and have no contact with people. Next people will complain that their neighbors know where they live... Jesus.

Assist has been around for over 5 years and thus we could have harvested info years ago and stolen identities. Guess what? That's not the goal of the project.




Perhaps it's time to feed a little fact to poor misinformed Dav3; screenshots aren't automatic. They're only taken if someone is suspicious, to gather further proof.
It's like shaving your pubes to make your junk look bigger.

That is the most useful piece of info I have ever seen you post.

Why would u not just have said that outright in ur 1st reply instead of keeping with ur regular bs and letting this banter continue?










Gawwddd and to compare the forum "internez" LOL yea, u got fanboys ill give u that much.

Your account is also from 09, with nearly 8,000 posts. On top of being an admin and having fan boys.

That should actually say A LOT about your contributions. you have posted nearly 8,000 times and only 40 have been intentionally deemed useful. Those are not numbers I would be bragging about.


Where as of course I have negative. Most my posts are asking for improvement and pointing out issues, and assist is seemingly administered by a team that doenst like to hear anything negative, and has a team of internet trolls backing them up lol. Id also be willing to bet at very least half my negatives have been from you.
