[Admins: WTF?!]

So first you guys allow a bug to let people make fake gold. Ok so you didn't expect anyone to be that smart, but you were wrong.
But now that you've deleted our avatars and newspaper pictures, we try to upload new ones. It doesn't work. Your terrible programming doesn't know how to create a new folder for them. Ok we're used to horrid programming exceptions on your end, but do we have to get 2 xp for each time we try?!
Seriously, why can't you guys program? I know Java is a terrible language, but JavaScript is supposed to be so much better and yet you guys can't master it. You've been programming this game for how long now?!
For Christ's sake!
Vote this up so the admins see it

This is an angry article. We all know how terrible the administrators are constantly so we know this is nothing new, but if they'd test their code more than once before implementing it, it'd be nice. I can deal with server issues. But actually programming problems are terrible. These people are getting paid to program properly.
Ok so I don't program games like this ever. But I know a few languages decently well. And I know how easy it is to mess up. But that's why you run several test cases and debug more than once. And you never run the same case twice. You always need to come up with a new test because (and especially when programming something like eRepublik) you KNOW, it's not a guess, that it will be used and there are so many different possibilities and permutations that you need to think up every case you think might happen and even test the ones you're sure will not, because guess what, they always happen.
I was about to donate some money to their cause too, kind of like a tip at a restaurant. I probably still will because I actually like this game. But I just want them to learn how to debug!

This is just almost bad as a reset.
Ian, and you've been making bug-free massive multiplayer online games for how long now? Seriously, give 'em a break. They are upgrading the servers which is bound to disrupt some things. You've been here long enough to know that missing avatar pictures come back when admins finish their tinkering.
Oh, and great job telling everyone how to exploit a bug.
Forfeit points don't sound so bad, they are almost as good as a prison.
Comments have flipped.
Yep Daks. Although it makes sense. To all the newspaper vets, it is going to be frustrating to acclimate to
It's been like, 15 minutes. Give them time to sort everything out.
ExoM7: more like >1 hours.
You may have been signed on for 15 min, but I've been on about an hour.
Why I cant upload my avatar!?
eHil, it'll probably come back. The avatars and such are server work. The Free XP is messy coding.
Did I just walk into a game that has generic Tags for EVERYTHING???
Seriously, WTH?
Media subscription alerts not disappear 🙂
Just to add more issues to the buglist 😃
Countdown for article removal and temporary ban.

eRepublik is cool. It gives me a good understanding of how NOT to make a game.
Anywho, Beta testers for eNations have been chosen. Contrats to those who made the list. Cry me a river for those who didn't 😛
Really, thanks for all the support guys. Its also my understanding that Belea2008, one of the Admins, has asked to be a tester - and he was selected.
I might put out an actual article about this shortly. Hope I don't get banned for "Competing". 😛
Good luck, Admins. Keep trying. You'll get it right someday after we release eNations v8, which I think I will nickname "Splash" 😛
Imagine: eNations: v8 Splash.
Oooh, copyright infringements galore!
Wow this is as bad as a soup sandwich!
