Deebs, is there some kind of 'fucking idiot' filter you can install on your server? So these people can't even get in?

Or perhaps it would be nice if non-registered users were not permitted to view our details?

Good idea, that. Perhaps the Feedback forum should hear of it.

 

[mank!]

That has to be a pisstake.

Surely?

 

[Tom]

Nope. All 100% serious. I hope he appreciates me helping to reduce his spam by putting his email address in all those 'unsubscribe from mailing list' boxes. I did him a real favour there.

 

[scoop]

Blatently was a pisstake, imo

Super maturity POWA GO NOW!

I mean really, doing that makes you just as bad as him.

So what he contacted you on MSN, thats what the block feature is there for. Good god man, act your age.

Title: S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl - Market Research
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Carl and I work for THQ as a researcher on S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl. I’ve noticed that you’re interested in the game and this is the reason why I’m contacting you.

As part of my job I like to be in regular contact with gamers so that I can learn, what you as a player like the most and why? In return for your feedback and opinions on a variety of issues, THQ would like to share with you a variety of assets, screenshots and an early opportunity to play the game before its release.

We will only be approaching a few people across the world to join this very select group. If you’re interested then please e-mail me back and we can discuss it further.

I’ll look forward to hearing from you soon.

I reply thus

I would be very interested to work with a team of like minded individuals that like games, I have been following the updates concerning SSC with much interest and it seems to be shaping up nicely from what I see. I would like to mail you but you havn't got the option for mailing enabled

My email is *****@blueyonder.co.uk

Hopefully we can chat soon.

Now call me a slapper.. *slapper* but I thought it best to mail THQ just to see if this guy does indeed work for their market research dept :

Hi,

I was contacted via the FreddysHouse forum by a guy named Carl :

I am interested, but the guy named as Carl didn't leave his email address
and hasn't got the reply by email facility enabled on the forum. If you
could shed some light on this or point me in the right direction I would
very much appreciate it.

Thankyou,

and got this reply from THQ support:

I'm sorry but I don't have any information on this person.

So.... in true agony aunt style what should I do? Write it off as a prank?

 

[Jonaldo]

Both of you had Jeremy Beadle hiding round a corner and a secret camera imbedded in your monitors.

 

[]AC[dRuM]

Roger that

..lol

..although I can think of better wind ups like telling me I am down for a rub out with Kylie ..lol

 

[JBP|]

tbh anyone who puts up thier msn address on a forum really cant complain if someone sends them a message


my advice is to do what i do and keep msn turned off unless its vital

 

[]AC[dRuM]

..done..

 

[~Yuckfou~]

So.... in true agony aunt style what should I do?

My best guess would be to bend over and lube up.

 

[]AC[dRuM]

..lol if Kylie isn't involved I no play home boy ...

 

[TdC]

you rang m'lud?

 

[]AC[dRuM]

Yankin ma chain..

 

[SAS]

]AC[dRuM that email is worded to plainly to be from THQ, but marketing companies are employed by the game publishers to give out review material and in that way it could be genuine, (THQ would not know who Carl is as he could be from a different company) however they usually go for large gaming sites and contact the owners direct, its very unlike them to read a forum a pick gamers that way, but then again who knows?

Let us know what he replies back with. Also could you PM me the email addy he used and I'll check it out for you.
