Title: The Site Should be More Idiot-Proof!
Post by browni3141 on Jul 12^th, 2012, 12:19pm

In the chatroom I posted a link to one of my Postal Mixer games to show a positional cat sacrifice. The problem is that I took the url from the game window and the link opens the game window for you as a player, not just a spectator! Anyone can now go to my game on the current move as if they were me and make moves, chat, or resign. I did not realize that taking the url from the game window would do this. I thought that there would still be a delay and the link would only open the game for you as a spectator. I don't think anyone here would go and try to mess with my game, and I ask that no one does, but I'm wondering if there is a way to safeguard my game anyway. Maybe the link will break eventually on it's own, but I don't know. It happened yesterday and the link still works. What do I do?

Ask Omar to create another game with the same moves and delete this one.

I just want to say this brought me quite a bit of enjoyment when it happened "You don't need your elephant do you?"

I've sent omar a message. He hasn't been very active recently but hopefully he will see it and there won't be any problems in the meantime.
