How were 'users' able to make themselves Mod?

How were certain 'users' able to make themselves BF3 moderator? Was it something in the Battlelog code or did they genuinely get given moderator status?

I saw a lot of posts before about the edited posts of Sticky Threads, but they've all been fixed as of now after mods have said that the "situation being handled and looked into".

Who knows ...all I know is tha ea and dice better be preparing a nice press release because in less than 12 hours this will be on every gaming site under the sun. Congrats dice maybe now your actually do something about the reidiculous levels of hacking in the game!

there is no hacking.. don't be silly!

BWUAHAHAAHAHHAAHA
This is what happens why you make things like battlelog a monkey could figure out the code and tweak it. It not hard it is common web dev crap.

power of Prophecy

This drama is far better to watch then play the game itself.

No hacking here - just better playing!

lazy, sloppy EA coding contracted out to the lowest bidder.....nothing more, nothing less.........

So this is simple CSS/HTML?
Rubbish. Should be something restricted to have the mod status (how there's restrictions for having Veteran - it doesn't just appear through singular code - it's all based on the EA Veteran Site with the If/While commands).

How did it take you 117 hours to get to Colonel 45 when it takes the average user 40-50 hours?
Worse top weapons, worse K/D, worse, SPM, worse score with classes, worse vehicle scores, much worse awards and your team score is the epitome of a COD noob.

Not sure where this rumour is coming from, but the guy was a moderator. He was from the russian side of the boards, all languages have their own set of moderators to aid that section of the community thus making it so native-speakers to that language can assist the community they know and understand the most.

Most likely thing is that this moderator then used the change language option at the bottom of your screen to switch to the english forums and do said actions. Ultimately, he was already a moderator.. I personally and Canuck, did not recognize him.. but we are not going to know every single moderator, nor is the community either.

Hope this helps,

Ah, it does, thanks.
It seems that whoever appoints people on the Russian side (commonly acknowledged by many BF players as 'hacker central' for the large amount of Russian players who are indeed hacking) isn't doing a good job - that user didn't stick to RU servers because I saw him many times, and know for certain he'd been reported often.

At least the English speaking section has their side under control.

Well there's the problem, all moderators should be required to enter a voice coms channel or "check in" at least once a week to be caught up on the goings on of the battlefield.

There is simply little to no communication between the different moderators and it makes for a very unprofessional looking mess of a forum, with moderators now having the ability to ban someone from all their origin games there should be a little more background and integrity checks for said player before handing out such potentially dangerous powers.

Mate, stop with the insults you fagg(i)t.

He was only "Quoting" a moderators "status".

You obviously missed the shit earlier, b'cos you would have known what he was on about. EDIT*** You obviously did see it, but yet you still tried to correct some one quoting another?

Now, Mr. Pro... Get off your high horse.

And why would the moderator write Penis in Russian all over the place?

Correct me if im wrong, but hadnt his moderator status been removed prior to the events of today? I checked his profile before and after these events. The Moderator flag at the top was not present either time, only change before/after was the removal from the battlelog moderators platoon.

Now, Mr. Pro... Get off your high horse.

Unlike you, I used logic - either he hacked into the Battlelog's main file or source and changed code to individually allow him + others different features, or he was given moderator features.

It turns out, if T0tal is correct, a high authority from the Russian speaking Battlelog gave him moderator status.
Also, if it were a restricted code, the same way the Veteran status works (though you know nothing about that, COD F@G), it should make it harder to hack Battlelog - generally, if it turned out to be true that he did hack his mod-status, this would be relevant.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Please STFU and GTFO before embarrassing yourself futher.
