From Test Center notes:
- Tip email messages are now from the bank, not from the player that made the tip, providing better feedback to avoid /tip scams
Thank you Devs, thank you Correspondent. Even if some of us are "ub3r" and didn't get affected, the point is, some of us WERE, and this scam is a thing of the past. Well, in the short future.

he's right, no need to hold out till pub 8 for this! one very quick + simple change that really not even the devs could have made go wrong (although they manage to screw up every other little thing)
i suppose i should thank them, thank you for finally answering one of the hundreds of cries you get everyday, thank you for actually noticing the people who keep you getting paid for once, thank you... nah im out!

Uh, guys... Publish 8 is due out on April 27th, so the fix will be coming with it. I think we can all wait 5 days.

I think they should stop letting the programmers mix muon gold with their brandy. Feed a few of them to the Krayt Dragons.
When they remove ALL the bugs that have been introduced in the updates, I'll ask if they can get the ones that are still here from day one.
Then maybe it will be possible to improve quality and consistency.

About time I say... how many months has this been a problem? How many months since it hit the boards and became very widely known even. I wonder how many millions have been scammed.

Enough with the moaning already! Seriously, add up all the time in the last 12 months that you've dedicated to moaning at or about the developers - not constructive criticism, I'm talking about pure old-fashioned moaning like most of this thread. Now ask yourself, "What else could I have done with this time???" Sheesh.
And to the original point of this thread, a big Thank You to the devs for getting round to this.

I though this was addressed many months ago, as in being an invalid name. Maybe in beta?
