My first proper bait is going well. With the help of my Excellent mentor and friends from here BUT

With all the tools out there, The forms that are about are either not applicable OR not ones that I can use right now. Eg, A medical History and a Fake Visa Application to a Made up country

SO I was thinking, Of course with the grace from the MODs etc... If i start a Form Section, where i'll custom build forms to a persons specification, would there be and intterest?

I'm just testing the waters. My mind can be a Silo of useless information that I can use in different forms. IF there is a need or a demand for it, I'll do it.

What do you think?

I like the idea. You may get swamped with requests, though.

I think that there are a lot of people who will want to be your best friend, particularley those who don't have the time/knowhow/skill to create these things themselves.
A word of caution, any forms that can be in any way recycled by scammers and used against innocents are a no-no.
Having said that, you're on my christmas list from now on. Wink

On a selfish note, can you do textures/watermarks/embossing (Purely for scanning purposes)?

^^^ whilst researching forms I came across a heap load of programs, To be fair, From experience with the UK home office, its not that big an issue. But i have downloaded and save a few templates to add my own wacky ( but need to know rubbish questions to)

To answer the question about scammers using it for their purposes. I'll see what can be done about it.

I think once i commit to Form writing, I'll put scam baiting on the back burner and concentrate on focusing on wasting their time, by not waisting the baiters time looking for the right form

I started doing watermarks on my documents/forms I make. I am starting to do text effects and embossing since I got some new software. Fun to play around with. I pretty much watermark everything diagonally so it cannot be reused in anyway...............that I know of.

Think you have the right idea. Burry them under a deluge of bureacracy - we all have so many different things we can blame - terrorism and security, federal and or national regulations, new MPs new senators, congressmen, european union directives, family tradition, religious beliefs, "my husband/wife/dog/fill in the blank sais so", and infinite others.

look forward to working with you, piecrust

I would think that the purpose of any form we send to a lad exists just to be a colossal waste of time. If they re-use it on a real victim, especially if the stuff is incredibly inane, I'd think it would help to deter them Smile

@morgan let me know what software you are using.

I'm willing to dedicate my time in composing pointless forms for wasting their time and getting you guys some good trophy's etc.

I think my baiting problem is, i have the Ideas and time to implement them, but i'm not as confident as most baitors....

LOL i'm actually exited about it!

If we're talking software, anything they have to buy software upgrade for, print off, fill out, scan, re-do multiple times. Image files are good.
If i were more of a programmer i'd create a form which would display but not print. Er.. maybe that's been done already, i'll have a look in the archives.

Hi Impstress

Welcome to Eater. I think it is a cracking idea if you have the time/skill. Leonsumbitches is right though, your'll be swamped! That said can I get my request in early doors, modelling agency forms!

LOL I have a system that I can implement.. If i get the blessings from the moderators and the site owners. PM what your require for the Modeling agency forms, Critical details and i can have it ready in a few hrs...... I have a few ideas that would be good.

If i have enough people interrested, i'll set out a small questionaire just to scope what is required.

Your bog standerd 8 page form should take me 1 to 1 and a half hours

Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2011 11:28 pm

Thanks Impstress

The only ideas I have are a bog standard form that takes one to one and a half hours to fill in!

Express yourself.

Impstress PM sent

Has anyone ever used EXCEL to make a spreadsheet type of form? I used to use EXCEL quite a bit when I was working. When opened would cover their whole screen and then some, plus if they had to complete it by hand, it would print out on 11x17 inch paper. (Just thinking out loud here) I've always liked the way EXCEL forms/spreadsheets could be manipulated.

It could be a way new type of form for money to be sent. Laughing

excellent idea, you could make some of the most used forms and then give people the instructions on how to fill in their info

Master Baiter Joined: 06 Jan 2011 Posts: 106

I'm working an a few as we speak.. like i said, they will be time consuming and hard to fill in , But absolutly needed Razz

I have one on order. Maybe i should start an Impstresses Form Euphorium Very Happy

^^^^^ Morgan, Its a good idea. I don't Use Excel but Zoho.com offers all the tools I need. I'm researching a way to lock the forms so they cant be filled in Electronically

Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 12:37 am

^^^ Yes that is a nice feature of EXCEL too.........locking the cells so they cannot be filled in on the computer.

There used to be a great form creator here called Marvinator, he was indeed kept very busy.

Excel and other forms sometimes include the author information into the file data, be wary of that. Later versions of Excel (Office 2007) are not compatable with earlier versions (Office 2003) which can be ultra frustrating for your lad. Twisted Evil

The old ruse of copying a large .dll file (COPYING!!!!) and changing the file name to .jpg and insisting you can view it on your PC is a nice easy lad delaying/frustrating tactic, even if he only wastes time waiting for it to download.

Oh and there's the Golden Rule- the lad should be doing the majority of the work, not you.

Nice idea - but you're unlily to get a slice of Eater real estate without a bit of a track record! Rustle up a few dozen forms first and a mod may sticky you.

Master Baiter Joined: 06 Jan 2011 Posts: 106

^^^^^^^ I understand! hehe I'm working on a few Examples. My first form is almost done, I'm just awaiting some Info.

Trust me, My mind is running with Possible Questions. Even my Legal bit in the end is Conbobabulat3d withConfibulariti3s Very Happy

I have the time! and its something I enjoy to do.

Good stuff, looking forward to seeing your results!
