Help icon FRAUD!

[Ben]

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed something that really grinds the old crank of mine.

I always thought those little help icons below your avatar were for you to announce ways you can personally assist people. Like you are good at scripting, or drawing, or writing, and have some spare time, so you do some scripting or drawing ro writing for somebody else-- you know, REAL work.. that you do youtself. So why are people posting, for example, a music icon, and writing in the caption, for example "I KNOW SOEM SITES TO GET MUSIC!!!!!" or "JUST DOWNLOAD SOME VAN HALEN MP3S OFF KAZAA!! YOUR GAME WILL =\RawK/= !!!!!" Am I the only one who thinks this is really cheap, and a little dishonest? Am I the only one who has even noticed? Or am I just being a whiny crybaby over nothing?

meh.. I just need to relax with a cup of tea and one of those crappy kids poetry books.

I just hope the people that do that don't get any PMs asking for help

"HEY!! I WANT MYI GAME 2 RAWK!1!!"

I haven't seen anyone doing that, but it would go against the spirit of having the icons.

I'd really hope that people have enough common sense not to abuse features like the Offer Your Services mod, and it'd be sad if that was happening.

I would never ever handle the icon system in an unappropriate manner, or misuse the captions.
