IMO everything I put in the first page list would be as you put it "clearly evil".
- fake bsod.
Evil. Why? People could bring it to a repair place. Those places are truly evil, such inflated prices its ridiculous. Or buy a completely new pc.
- disabling/editing mouse or keyboard.
Evil. why? Could make some people go out and buy new hardware (which can be expensive. Not everyone is rich)
- making files in every folder on the pc
Thats just EVIL on so many levels
- deleting certain files with the intent to destroy a pc or annoy a user.
Do I really need to explain why this is evil?
- turning up the volume to 100% and playing a loud/obnoxious/rude/annoying sound
Do I really need to explain why this is evil?
- doing anything to destroy a pc or annoy a user on purpose.
Destroying (disable, cause errors, make a virus or malware, etc) a PC/device is just evil.
Annoying a user.. thats kinda tricky I guess. IMO anything that messes with the system, files, browser, hardware and other stuff in a negative way is just going to far.
I actually don't mind keyloggers, as long as it isn't used to steal information from others and upload the logs to some server without permission. But the no-keylogger rule has been on this forum for much longer than me being a moderator. It's not part of my 'censorship'.
What kind of pranks are not considered 'evil' and would/should be allowed to you, ABCza?
Remember, not everyone is PC-literate. Even at a techy community like us we get a lot of computer-noobs. Maybe they only play games or only use the pc at work and know barely anything else. This is clearly visible on IRC. We need to tell some people how to copy & paste URL's to and from the address bar of their browser.
If you decide to make a malicious script in AHK, fine. I'm not going to stop you (I can't, and AHK isn't my tool). But don't post it here. I think we need to be a friendly and safe place. Instead, go find some prank/virus/malware/hacker community that allows evil stuff (there's a lot of them) and share your creations there. Those who want such things will find it through google, maybe.
