I think they are friends. ---> So these are "friend hits", but your hit is still a real one.

Well, I hope the other people living in your city are smarter than he is. Here's my message and his reply:

Quick translation: "It'd be nice if you stopped entering those fake notes into EBT, OK? -- Why should I ??

Oh dear :? That's all I can say at the moment.

Isn't that enough reason to block him, or to erase his account?

Jempha was an honest user for a long time. I don't understand why he suddenly started faking. :?

Jempha is entering for fake notes :evil: : see bill ID 1415823 till 1415836. That's all I could see but probably, there are more :( .
I suggest to block his account so he can't mess up our database anymore, despite his real entries (sorry Airis :? ).

Fons,

You must give the administrators the time to moderate those hits. Normally within 24 hours a fake hit is moderated.

Yes, he is faking. :( He has got a warning and the next step is blocking his account.

Jempha ... has been taken care of. After I sent the email I mentioned above, I waited to see if he had stopped doing the strange things. Looks like he entered another batch of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500e notes after he wrote his initial reply, so he didn't seem to care about my warning and I had to do something.

I deleted all those notes that had been inserted with all the denominations (35 distinct serials, 228 entries in the database). I told him that and warned that if he doesn't start behaving, I'll delete ALL his notes from the database. I offered him an opportunity to start playing by the rules again and everything would be OK. After all, he had (and still has) 337 real note entries in EBT.

But. He went completely nuts about the fact that I had deleted those invalid entries, saying that there were real notes among those. This might be true and I'm perfectly aware of that, but it really wasn't worth the effort to determine which entry is the valid one among 6 invalid ones and this would have to be done for all the 35 notes individually. Basically, he lost all the notes he had entered since 12th November.

In his second email he wrote to say that he noticed that I was indeed serious about deleting those notes and said he'd quit because all his notes from the last two weeks (although one week would have been more accurate) had been deleted.

In his third (and hopefully the last) email he wrote to inform me about his opinion that "avij must be f*cking bored because avij watches what kind of notes the other EBT users enter". Oh, there were tons of other 4-letter-words among all the emails I received but I don't wish to reproduce them here.

How .. encouraging :? I won't write a reply to him.

edit: The number of removed notes was actually 20, not 35. There were 20 notes which had been found and entered after Nov 12, and 15 notes that he has had before but re-entered again with more denominations. I was able to clean up the group of 15 notes, but the group of 20 notes would have been harder. I did this when I first deleted the notes, I just forgot to mention it in my message.

That's it - in your position you get all kind of sh*t from frustrated fakers. :? Nevertheless, someone has to do it and we are glad you've taken the responsibility and - have to say it again - we appreciate your work.

Well done. That's the kind of behaviour I don't understand. You've been extremely considerate and kind when first approaching and warning someone. If they misbehave after that, there shouldn't be any reason for complaining about the consequences. :roll:

There's a famous slogan: "Don't mess with Texas". Maybe Avij should adopt a new signature: "Don't mess with me" ?
