Back in the beginning (a long time ago) of Gaia people were hacked. I know, because guess what, I was there. Anyway, people were hacked and it was a problem. So the mods did things to try and protect us from those evil people who were out to get us. And now they have that wonderfully annoying red banner that reads:

Don't be a fool and give out your s**t to people you don't know!

Ok, it doesn't say that, but if I was a mod that is what I would make it say.

ANYWAY! It shouldn't be a big deal anymore right? People should be smart now right? Well some aren't because some people still try to hack others by asking them for their personal info via a pm. Now, I want to know something. Does this really work anymore? Are people still that stupid to give out their private info to some newbie lookin' guy? I only ask because some yu bun duh hwoon dahn totally tried to scam me out of all of my hard earned gold. Now I am no fool when it comes to this stuff so don't worry, all of your prize money is safe, but who still falls for this gos se?

And another question; how many of you have been targeted by people trying to scam you? And if you have been targeted; how many times?

Also, does my av make me look like I have money or a n00b?

No Ed, you don't look like you are new to gaia, and you look just like some regular chick. Not super rich, or super poor. Of course I don't think they really go by what you look like. I think they just pick people at random.

I'm only familiar with these terms from gaming, so pardon if I'm wrong, but...

Bot=computer program that automates some function, such as farming gold. No human necessary, it is some gross exploiting/cheating.

Mule=an alternate account/character made for the purpose of holding your extra stuff, whatever that may be.


OR some options from dictionary.com (because I'm too cheap to own a real dictionary):

bot3 /bɒt/ –noun a device or piece of software that can execute commands, reply to messages, or perform routine tasks, as online searches, either automatically or with minimal human intervention (often used in combination): intelligent infobots; shopping bots that help consumers find the best prices.

(found an amusing one for mule! look at 6 - what are you guys up to with your mules! :O )
mule 1 (myōōl) n.
2.The sterile hybrid offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, 4.characterized by long ears and a short mane.
Informal A stubborn person.
6. Slang A person who serves as a courier of illegal drugs.

A bot is as Bibine said, a program that doesn't need any human interaction and SPAMS THE HELL OUT OF THE ARENA AND FORUMS scream ...(sorry, the bots get on my nerves)

A Mule is a different account that holds items and posts and gives gold to the main account. Mules can be interactive and be in different guilds. They can even be another account that is permenantly in cosplay.

People here can be kinda stupid
XP
I used to be
I used to play Runescape (I dont anymore, dont worry)
And I was hacked because I was so stupid
Some guy told me I could get free Rune Armor (Best in the game at the time) if I changed my password to Gold and pressed Control F4
At the time
I didnt know what Control F4 was
I was tired
And I was eager to get some good items
So I did it
And lost a Members account ($5 A month for those of you that don't know)
We were forced to take up the matter with Jagex and I proved the account was hacked, and it was shut down
I was never about to be hacked again
So I get super worked up whenever I see a hacker
On Gaia, Ive had about 20 people try and get me to give up my password
And Ive only been on for a year

And no, it doesnt make you look like a noob
XP

It closes whatever window you have up
In my case
It closed me out of the game window
Giving the hacker enough time to get on my account and change the password to something else
