SIGNATURE ICONS

Flags Netherlands

are for killing fake banks or sites used for fraud. You do this by writing an abuse report (sometimes more than 1) to the hoster. When the site goes 404, 403, or suspended, you get to put a flag in your sig for the country where the bank or company claimed to be located. Please see the fake sites forum for further explanation.

Shopping carts are for killing mugu reseller accounts.

Cellphone

Cell phones are for killing phone lad accounts by reporting them for fraud to their provider.

Safari

Hats are for safaris. I believe the general rules for safaris is 200 miles distance travelled (which is 321.86800 kilometres) OR an International border crossing. Getting a lad to travel this distance is the goal. In order to legitimately claim a pith helmet the journey would also have to be IP verified, OR verified by the lad's change of country code of his mobile phone number.

pyramid

Pyramids are for killing HYIP (high yield investment poop) or ponzi schemes.

Badges are the ultimate Eater trophy. You get one of these if you manage to get your lad arrested and can prove it (lads lie, y'know Laughing

)

These two are special awards given by the Eater staff. The criteria for getting one is a mod room secret, so don't ask Wink

This is for getting an unauthorised SSL key on a fake site removed.

Hello Kitty!

This used to be awarded by former Mod, RooRoo. We occasionally hand it out to members who have done something worthwhile, but for whom no other icons really apply.

Santa

This first appeared two Christmases ago, possibly at the request of a member named Keytool. It may have had something to do with getting lads to dress up as Santa.

These are the most special and you have to work hard to earn them.

The star does serve a purpose, however it can only be awarded by yours truly, and I never give an explanation for it Smile

Another Mod or Admin can explain this one. Don't start a new thread about it. If you are dying of curiosity PM Rover or Lotta.

Yipeee. Look! New little icons for us to put in our sigs.

We've customised some new icons, complete with explanations on how to attain them. If you have any questions or any ideas on other icons you'd like to have on the forums, please PM your nearest moderator.

Closed lad accounts

This little piggy represents scammer bank accounts reported to Alan. As Alan very rarely alerts you to the progress of the reported bank, even getting a scammer to give you a working account and having it reported is good enough. You may add the number of total accounts reported. (ie. Closed lad accounts

x6)

Code:

:$_lad:

The Ying/Yang is for getting a lad tattooed. You may add the number of total lads you've had tattooed. (ie. Tattoo

x6)

Code:

:tattoo:

Is awarded by the mod team for an extraordinary safari. What specifically is classed as a extraordinary safari? These won't be handed out willy-nilly. The Golden Pith is for those extra special Golden Safaris. (It means we'll probably put it to a poll of some sort)

Mortar

The Mortar represents mentoring. You may add the number of total members you've given your wisdom, experience and support.

Code:

:mortar:

- The Sand timer is be used to identify your longest running baits, however you wish to present them. (eg: Lad Buggins - 17 mths) This is awarded for a bait lasting longer than 12 months of continuous baiting. Not just sending a email once a month to say 'hi' - We mean continuous baiting. You need to have a lad on the baited hook for over 12 months.

Code:

:sandtimer:

- T.W.A.T. Icon for those who've had this specific monument built. We think this modality deserves its own icon. It's certainly an achievement.

Code:
