So clearly I missed some interesting shit.

Someone on the Dutch VP server managed to figure out certain information about players, things such as first names, last names, instagram, facebook, phone numbers, where they live and even pictures. And yeah, this person is now using that information to send it to the full Dutch website saying stuff like ''To the rest of vp: You're not safe either. See you next time." and saying he's gonna find out all of our personal information and stuff. Even on Everskies this is being send to players.

The same person who is behind this also sends us to articles and posts saying ''hahaha your cancer moms'' and making certain people feel really bad.

Yay for you who's English is better than mine.

So it's normal that someone looks into the list of people who follow VP on Instagram searches for other social media to spam EVERYTHING to people who didn't search for it/didn't ask for it?

Even if you didn't share your personal info here on the site, the spammer can find you.

It's VP's problem that this isn't fixed in 36 hours. They could've set an certain level to mail other players so the spammer can't make new accounts as quick as he does now.

I never said that. What he is doing is disgusting, but theres nothing Kaj can do on that matter. That's a social media security thing.

There should be solutions to ban someone, even if he uses VPN's.

Or make mailing only available for Youtubestars and up...

But there's nothing VP does. Not even a 'sorry we can't prevent this'. In fact, people like you call out players for following VP on Insta, but VP has give aways on Insta?

There are ways to prevent the spamming.

y'all the problem isn't the fact that the spammer was able to find the information (that he can use someone's first name to find their phone number somewhere else isn't on kaj/vp), the problem is that according to some ppl with more knowledge on online security that this spammer could be stopped but currently isn't due to limited capacities of mods/admins (they are working hard!! but it's difficult and kaj doesn't want to spend money, even though the situation keeps escalating further and further)

pls someone correct me if im wrong!! x

Don't forget that some users on the Dutch vp never shared any information about themselves at all. The fact that this can happen on a website is a massive, massive security problem. Don't even forget that as soon as you get a message from someone and it includes a link or anything you can click on, your ip address might be logged.

Just the fact that anyone, literally anyone, can send mass spam to people and are able to even find information is just a ridiculous security problem.

Like, someone can literally tell you ''please subscribe to my youtube channel!" and then send you a link, and if ur unlucky and you click on it, your ip can be logged and saved somewhere and through your IP-address you can find information about the person you're looking for. Not saying that the person who did this used a method like that, but still.

Even the fact that it's possible to SPAM users is ridiculous. I don't think it's very fun to get 100 messages in less than 5 minutes that sends you to ''hahahaha your cancer mother'' or 100 messages within 5 minutes with leaked information about people. It's disgusting and ridiculous that this is even possible to do.

Also, just one quick last thing. Do you really want to waste your money on a website that doesn't care about security and possibly have your information logged or tracked soon and shared all around vp?

That is also what I suggested and I believe Jess was going to ask Kaj about it.

I also never called out anyone for following VP on Instagram, you're putting words into my mouth. I was literally on the social media team lol. I just said be careful about what social media you share on VP, like linking it on your profile.

So Kaj shouldn't keep his community a safe place??????

It has nothing, really nothing to do with social media at all. After getting spam mails almost every night for a couple weeks in a row, Kaj should have stopped him already. Now the guy is sharing pictures, names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. for already 40 hours and it is still possible. Kaj should make sure that it is not possible for him to spread this privacy sensitive information through VP. But he's failing again. This is unethical and shouldn't be possible at all and for sure not 40 hours in a row without Kaj doing anything about it. Please stop protecting him and his position in this. It's his community, he is responsible for it and we know he always refuses to take responsibility for this website in any way (except during MEGA CREDIT SET WEEK!!!! $$$) but this time it is really unacceptable that Kaj does nothing.

And that's true as well. The mails contain information about people that truly never shared anything about themselves. I'm sure that most of the players wouldn't success in finding their full names, addresses, etc. Those people and their privacy should be protected.
