I think it should be removed.
One) We're a gaming site.
Two) It's only been posted in twice in the past 1.5 months.
Three) The MR leader is hardly ever on.
Opinions?
I disagree.
1. We are a gaming site. Runescape players are specifically targeted for infection due to the simplicity of selling the accounts and bank on them, therefore many people require assistance in removal. I predict a lot more people posting.
2. That's not my fault. I could make meaningless threads, but that won't get anywhere.
3. I check the MR section every day for new posts. I just started a job 2 months ago. So it's kinda hard to have a life and spend all my time on one site considering I work at several others aside from Runegear.
4. Don't make me whip out the PMs about you "claiming" to be on the MR Team and that you think you deserve to be in for such. I know everything about you including that you were removed from HJT at HF for your arrogance, disobedience, and your inactivity. You were also warned on several occasions by staff for said, "low quality".

Support
Reasons:
Moderator is a Ass
Gaming site Not a Hacking Site -Yes TE added Runescape hacking but thats not Real hacking-
No one posts there ever
Bad help when posting in there
Should be removed No need for it
+1 If you agree or like the girl in my Sig
Oh yeah, you're the one dickriding Jonathan saying he should be in the MR Team because he's "knowledgeable" except for the fact that he has no training. Apparently I'm an asshole just because I make sure only people with actual training get in. I evaluate the ones I allow as helpers to make sure they are fit to provide assistance. I don't just add people in because they say they are. Read point number one on first quote. I post there if people need help. You get good help when posting there. I don't allow bad help to be given. If I see it I remove it. Simple as that and when they repeatedly don't follow directions, then they will deal with staff.

We are not a hacking forum still...
Since you are already talking about carbon
Lets say he gets a virus
Who should he go to
Runescape gaming site OR Local Computer shop
Hmm You should all get my point
Runegear is not a hacking site We have Runescape hacks etc but if you have a virus Go to your local shop if you cant deal with it your self
He should go here because he knows good and well that I offer great assistance here. I've had many staff members and upgraded members personally contact me over PM or Skype to get help and I always help them. Just because there isn't a thread doesn't mean I'm not helping people. Also, if you go to a repair shop they're just going to charge you out the ass for removing something simple. A lot of times it is just paranoia to begin with so they might waste $200 for nothing.
Nick said:
Free service from a person who knows Next to nothing
Like I said Local shop or Do it your self
I came to the MR section in search for help and he told me to do 2 things Then when I said it didnt work he said to do them again soo Theres your Section for you
Like I said before Its a runescape forum Not Hackforums
If you're talking about me at least say my name. You say I know next to nothing, but you fail to realize I wouldn't be where I am if I knew "next to nothing". Do you have any idea who I actually am? No you don't. I'm highly known within the security community. I just use a different alias for forums associated with hacking. I know more than anyone here on this forum and HF. The ones who actually know me more personally than just as a helper on a forum can vouch for that. I actually cleaned The Elite's computer a year ago from an infection on HF he knows I'm capable of cleaning a machine as well. I've dealt with things far worse than you're "RSPinGenerator.exe". Things you would never want to see on your machine. I've dealt with the worst of malware before. HF and RG is nothing compared to the other forums I work at. I see rootkits, backdoors, and other nasty infections on a daily basis. I don't know whatever topic you're talking about, but if I did I had a good reason to tell you to re-run something so I can double check and make sure something is gone or check to remove something that might be blocking another tool. I always have a reason. I don't just fuck around and tell you to run shit for no reason.
Nick said:
First off I cant believe I need to say this
I'm saying We are a runescape forum not hackforums <--- EXAMPLE OF A HACKING SITE
You are making it like I said Runegear should just direct All trafic to HF I didnt say that and My 2 Words on that would be F*ck THAT
And Secondly you were talking about Tha Sneak
Well Who cares if hes from HF but since you brought it up
Why would we want a person from HF who was on the HJT Running our HJT section?
You think we should be more like HF? <--- Every ones answer to that is NO
Tha Sneak was nothing but rude and Cocky when I talked to him trying to get help
At teh same time I was talking to Drhu about getting help
Tha Sneak was Stupid and told me to do the same thing over again after I already did it
Drhu Told me to do something else I did it and Fixed my computer
I said to tha sneak after Drhu got the virus removed You have no clue what your doing Drhu got it removed in minutes hes definitally smarter then you at Malware removal then he gives this thing about some Malware removal College degree or some shit I cant remember
Any ways
In my eyes there are two options
A: Remove Tha Sneak from Moderator of that section and Put DrHu up
B: Remove the section completely Since This is a Runescape forum Not a Hacking/cracking site
Again, I point you to my first point in my first quote. You keep using the same excuse.
"Well Who cares if hes from HF but since you brought it up
Why would we want a person from HF who was on the HJT Running our HJT section?"
I'm not "from HF" per say. I'm from a different forum I wish not to be named. I was invited to join here by The Elite. I don't see what's wrong with someone from HF HJT being here.
"You think we should be more like HF? <--- Every ones answer to that is NO"
What does this have to do with MR at all?
"Tha Sneak was nothing but rude and Cocky when I talked to him trying to get help At teh same time I was talking to Drhu about getting help"
I was never rude and I was never cocky.
Your original PM:
I dont know if your adding others to the MR team but Think of adding [removed]
http://runegear.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=[removed]
I would bet that he knows more then you
Its all he does 24/7 is Remove scan computers etc
But yea go talk to him about it He would be a great asset to the team
You're acting like you are a recruiter and I don't like that. Specifically: "I would bet he knows more than you"
So how the hell is someone with absolutely no training; know more than I do? I'm willing to be he doesn't remove malware right if he even does it at all. If I see someone I want to add into the MR Team I will ask them myself. It is obvious he couldn't follow instructions because I clearly defined that only official helpers are allowed to post malware removal advice, yet he did so anyway and I told him to stop on several occasions. Why would I add someone in the MR Team when they can't even follow my instructions.
My response:
I'll decide who I want to add to the MR Team and I have strict specifications. I would bet he is no where near on the level of computer knowledge as I am on. That's the most absurd comment that has ever been thrown in my PM box. If he has graduated from a malware removal school, then have him PM me which one and any proof he has that it is him.
I don't see anything wrong with that. I clearly said if he has graduated from a malware removal school to PM me and I never received one because he never graduated from a MR school.
Your response:
You have a big ego my friend
K If your all knowing
My Laptop Freezes when Running combo fix
In and out of Safe mode
Ive posted OTL logs already
What would you recommend me to do?
My response:
Run aswMBR or I provide a OTL fix that solves the problem. I have tons of things that could effectively fix a scenario like that, but those are the main ones. There's too many variables for one direct answer. You're just pestering me now.
I never received a response back.

To be a mod it is expected to be active I should know I was one...
And good for you 20 posts a day Record or something? I Don't see the relevance
I am active. Just because I do more lurking than posting doesn't mean I'm not doing my job. I look at the section several times a day. If I can't be there to check, then I always get another helper to keep watch while I'm gone for the moment.
Nick said:
No he doesn't
Drhu's Job is Fixing computers and Malware removal He gets Paid real money to do it
Yeah I do.
When I'm not working my job working at a small chain fast food restaurant. I'm spending my time working on mine and other people's computers fixing them and/or removing malware from them. I'm not just a malware removal expert either. I'm a tech expert as well. I get paid real money as well.
Nick said:
Hes more "Certified" to do it then any other on the forum
He has More experience
And if tha sneak has 2 years of INTENSE TRAINING <-- Made me laugh He he had any training at all he would have told me to do what Drhu told me to do not tell me to Re do the same step
Alright, just because he has a college degree (if he actually does) doesn't mean he's smarter than me. I have more experience than him without a doubt. Here's what all certifications and training I've had:
- I've completed a 6 1/2 month training course for malware removal.
- I've completed a 2 month training course for malware removal.
- I've completed a 1 1/4 year training course for malware removal.
- I've competed a 2 month moderation and customer service training course online.
- I have my CompTIA A+ Certification.
- I have my CompTIA Security Certification.
- I have my CompTIA Networking Certification.
- I am a MSMVP in Consumer Security.
- I teach at 6 different online malware removal school.
- I help at over 15 different online malware removal/tech support sites.
- I have been a malware researcher for several AV companies.
- I have roughly 5 years of professional experience.

Its not a flip of a coin Its not a 50/50 chance
And you just called Tha sneak stupid All he did was ask for the scans Then Told me to do something after it didn't work he said to rescan again Since it doesn't take a Genius to scan Then Tha in your eyes sneak isn't a genius
I don't even know what you're talking about here. All I know is you're talking senseless shit.
Nick said:
#1Dont try to Call names kid Against the rules that's flaming
#2If he does moderate 6 forums MR sections on different forums Then yes he still has no clue
#3 I wouldn't last a week since I Don't have advanced knowledge on what to do I know basics and Thats what Tha sneak showed to me. He showed me he knew basic stuff witch I already knew
#4 I know what I'm speaking about You just Ride him because Instantly as soon as you joined Runegear you were Instantly MRT Hmm Ride much?
1. You deserve it.
2. What is this? I don't even.
3. Of course, don't pretend like you do or your friends do and I haven't shown you anything.
4. He doesn't ride anything. He's just speaking the truth because he actually knows a little bit about me. He was added into the MR Team because I invited him to join because he actually knows malware removal.
Nick said:
I care so much because a person who does their job Poorly and Is Rarly on shouldnt have Mod status
And he is obligated to do so Hes the Lead man Hes the one in charge of that section
I do a good job. I always moderate if needed and reply if needed. I subscribe to the forum and I check it several times a day. Just because I don't spend all 8 of my free hours on RG doesn't mean I'm not active. It's not your choice to determine if I am fit to have mod status.
Nick said:
Users don't Seem to get this but when I talk its in my Opinion every one gets butt hurt because I speak my mind =P and Rage because they think differently
Any ways
I would like to see a person who is Actually active on this forum and Knows what hes doing aswell Running that section
I don't see a person here that knows any more than I do. I don't see why you can't get that though your thick head. If you think I'm an asshole you should meet some of the people in UNITE. If you ask to become a expert and you haven't had training they'll tell you to fuck off and get training.
Nick said:
Just like if you got a Job You dont show up for work or do a Shitty job Then you get fired <--- Every one HAS to agree with that if not then your just.. GRR
I have a job. I'm always on time and clock in exactly at the time I'm supposed to 7 minutes early. I do a excellent job and I've rose through the ranks. I train the new employees now how to do everything. I spent 3 hours teaching a new employee this evening. Plus, I've never missed a day of work nor have I ever been wrote up for anything. I have never been fired either. It's funny how you act like you know everything about me and you don't know anything.

I reckon keep it, but remove the rule that normal members cant post in a thread there. Just because we don't have "MR Team" above our head, doesn't mean some of us can't remove a virus. And plus, is there any harm in getting the user to run a malware scan and posting the logs? When you have a virus, you will generally take all advice to get it removed, not just the advice of 2 or 3 people who are rarlely on.
Especially since the MR team is rarely on, people want the malware removed ASAP. They don't want to have to wait for a MR Team mod to come online to reply. Thats probably why no one posts there.
The reason I don't allow members outside of the MR Team to not post is because they are not qualified and can give potentially dangerous or not useful information. It would make the MR section a mess as well. I'm not the only helper. There are several more that I have invited/recruited because I've noted their excellent help on other sites or around the board.
Nick said:
^^
Logical man =)
Agree with what you said I seen Drhu getting bitched at for posting in the section and others aswell
Literally bitched at
Like Any help to a infected user is better then no help =)
We are not the only forum to have this rule. Any forum that has a credible malware
removal section. We aren't even near as strict as other forums. At one forum if you post in the MR section and you are not a helper, then you get a 2 week ban on the spot. I just edit/delete posts/and notify them, then after the 3rd occurrence I get staff involved.
Drhu said:
The reason why I said I supported the MR section being deleted is because I just don't see the need for something that is inactive. The people seem to do their job, but honestly, it's not brain surgery. Just run scans, and different programs. To have training to do something for free sounds pretty lame. Why would you train for 6 months to do something free? I took 1 course and got my A+ and Network + certification when I was 18 and have been getting paid $10-14 an hr since then to do this crap and the customers are always satisfied. I do this as a job until now, because I'm starting my upper level college classes and don't have time for a job.
It isn't inactive. Just lacks posting for the moment. This happens on occasion, but it will kick off soon. When it does we will get people from other forums or from searches that will sign up because they found RuneGear's MR Team while looking for help and post. That just hasn't happened yet. Sometimes it can take several months, sometimes it can take a year, but until that happens all we can do is work with what we have. It's good that not many people are being infected. It is more like heart surgery, one fuck up and they're computer could become a brick if the helper doesn't know what they are doing. Would you like a helper that knows how to perform surgery or a helper who has never gotten a degree in medical science and has never performed surgery before? Take a choice. Malware Removal is more complex than you think. It's not just remove this file and registry key. It is about knowing what to do to remove it and how to repair anything that goes wrong. For example, if ComboFix deletes the wrong file you need to know what to do to fix the damages. I don't know why I spent so much of my time helping people out and training for it, but I did I've questioned it for a while, but I always end up knowing I do the right thing. I balance working on forums and IRL now. I do too. I took my certifications as well and I get paid to fix computers too. You act like you're superior because you have the same certs as I do, but I have more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm done. Any more questions/rants? I just spent an hour and 19 minutes posting a reply to all the shit talked against me for no reason right after I get home from work, thanks.
I also forgot to mention. Training will be available soon, but I have a list of people I definitely don't want in training already.
