--- Quote from: Sheath on July 26, 2011, 10:42:23 PM ---Actually it is illegal. Generally if its just your username and someone being stupid with it, it doesn't matter. But if you were well known by that name by friends or family online, or your real name was attached to it, and someone used it for slander / libel or damaged you in some other way, there could be a case. Of course that almost never happens with user names. But still. --- End quote --- Well not much in ONLINE gaming. There really isn't any law for it... Just real life... If they hacked your account and took your CC info, Email, passoword, ect. then yes. |

If someone was paying/payed you like $10 for a exclusive admin on a forum, and they DID NOT give it to you, they can go to jail for fraud, BUT you have to report it to the LLC for fraud. My uncle works for the LLC, and he says this happens more on Facebook then anywhere else... (Like you get admin if you pay me $100 a month) Those were just examples. |
