Wow, can you imagine what the police would say if you went to file a police report because your fake online pet game account had been frozen?

What an odd thing to ask someone to do.

Maybe that was the point. Either Tony was calling the player's bluff by suggesting that they contact the police, or he's really deluded enough to think that matters like this deserve the attention of law enforcement.

The funny part is that I think the user *actually* did it and got their account returned. So his power tripping backfired and showed how much a user actually wants to participate with their site. Yet they still treat people like dirt.

All of this could be solved if TNT just took a hard stance: "We will no longer provide pet reversals."

It's a shitty stance to take, especially since it's their security that caused the original leak, but it would separate them from UC pets in general, which is something they've been longing to do since the conversion.

TNT has got another think coming if we get the reality of the situation out there.

The way they have habitually abused their users via "support" for years now is just icing on the cake. Bravo @(you need an account to see links) for contacting the author!
