I was going to create a thread about Spid's new bank bot, but I didn't have "permission to upload a .bmp" screenshot. Any way around this?

Try another file format such as PNG/JPG? Otherwise, put it on an image sharing site and link to it?

[espo]

Why do you need to upload an image to discuss a "bank bot?"

Evidence of scamming obviously.

[Kilo]

But we don't need evidence of that, we already know

Yeah... lrn2png

 

I think bitmaps are not allowed on purpose... even Paint can save as a PNG, no one has any excuses now

[L.C.]

Bitmaps shouldn't be allowed anywhere except places that specifically rely on it for their function. If you don't already know, a BMP (bitmap) is a raw image format (hence zero-compression and large file sizes).

[Dr Brain]

hence zero-compression

 

This is not true: look up RLE compression. If you're going to act all high and mighty, might as well get your facts straight.

[Samapico]

.... which most bitmap files don't use

[Dr Brain]

I donno, RLE was pretty common when I was working with bitmap files for one of my projects as an undergraduate.

[noldec]

So...What was the original discussion about?

[Dr Brain]

No one knows. He couldn't tell us.

[Samapico]

And he's still trying to figure out how to save his screenshot as something else than a BMP

[»Purge]

...This thread fails.

[»SD>Big]

at least he got as far as BMP. I asked one of our district managers at work to send me a screen shot... he took a picture of his monitor, transfered the image to his computer then emailed it to me. a picture of his monitor.

lmao!

I think if a "Bank Bot" is going to be allowed in the zone it should have the backing of ZONE STAFF/OWNERS that it is legit and not a scam. Otherwise what kind of message is the zone sending? Don't curse but feel free to cheat players out of their money with a bot that we will allow you to put in our zone? I'm not saying Hyperbank is a scam but a few people have accused it of being one and I haven't seen anyone with any authority (excluding jrmods) defend the integrity of the bot as being fair and honest.

[Dr Brain]

No user bot has the blessing of the zone. Nor do any of the players for that matter. If you don't fully trust someone, then WHY THE HECK ARE YOU ?GIVING THEM MONEY???

[Cheese]

lol, new kids making dr b mad

[espo]

I'm far from new, useless kid and I haven't given anyone any money. I just wanted Dr. Brain to state his posistion on the matter.

 

Mission succesful.

[espo]

I have accounts on here from three different email addresses that range over several years. Try thinking outside of the box.

[Corey]

Yet you still haven't learned that no one really cares what you post?

[espo]

I wasn't looking for a troll fight so I'm not going to entertain your simple attacks. Go make me a new base to flag in and stfu. ty.
