The quoted bit is also part of the FAQ Sticky located in Scambaiting Help, Hints & Tips, and has been for years.

SIGNATURE ICONS[/b][/color]

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.

Shopping carts

are for killing mugu reseller accounts.

Cell phones Cellphone

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

Hats Safari

are for safaris. I believe the general rules for safaris are that the lad has to travel over 200 miles and/or cross at least one border.

Pyramids pyramid

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

Video Camera Vcamera

are for baiters who have managed to get their lads to produce a video

Some recently added icons and flags can be found in THIS THREAD [July 2007, Zen]

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

Since then other icons have been added or weren't explained to begin with.

<----This is for getting an unauthorized SSL key on a fake site removed

Hello Kitty!

<---This used to be awarded by former Mod, RooRoo. It isn't used anymore.

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 you have to work very hard for.

<-----No idea what the hell this is for- most likely it exists only so that members can ask about it.

<---- 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.

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