Thanks to KTTV reporter Phil Shuman, Alex Wuori, and Eric "eBaum"
Bauman (supposedly the anonymous "lulzkiller" in Shuman's report),
EVERY MyFox website now requires a 24 hour waiting period before
posting a message, pending that it doesn't get censored first.

The problem started over this BIASED news report against hacker Shuman
presented several days ago.

Apparently, Shuman didn't get the memo about not pissing off the
hacking community given the outright ease that one person found to
hack into the Fox News Website.

And then the discovery by the website that Shuman had mentioned in his
report that found out where the MyFox websites' admin directory was
and had about the same level of security as the Fox News Website.

HOW HARD IS IT TO CREATE A .htaccess FILE FOR ONE DIRECTORY?!

Obviously, the people who run the MyFox websites and are in charge of
the security of the website can't seem to go to http://tomcat.apache.org/
and fix the problem with their Apache Tomcat security setting or go to
http://httpd.apache.org/ to learn how easy it is to create a
simple .htaccess file for whenever the Phil Shumans of the world
decided to interview cowards like Bauman.

Next time someone will read Rules 1 and 2 of the internet.

As for Mr. Bauman, here's a little information about him.

Generally, converations on the USENET are much more social than this
thread. But if you have arrived here from a MyFox website, WELCOME to
the original social network: THE USENET!
