Ok, this is getting to be a really bad issue... people are using your service to harass under aged kids with all forms of pornography

Older gay guys are pretending to be 10-18 year old girls and then sending these kids (as young as 9) gay prono

kids are sexting on Twinkle and guys are stalking girls and girls are even stalking and harassing guys

This is starting to become a legal issue here, not just an irritating one.

if one parent knew what was going on with their 10 year old kid, they WILL sue Tapulous

and this problem is getting really bad...

We NEED a function to rid twinkle of these users

Here's a 13 year old boy who was harassed by an older gay man. I've blurred out minors for their own privacy





And here is a guy, who forgot to change his picture before he posted, thus giving away that he was not a female

you know... it could be automated where if 5 or more people report an individual, his account is suspended for x amount of weeks and if there are several violations, he he permanently banned...

You know you degrade/disrespect women and lower yourself to the point of an animal when you look at them with lust. :/ – Smokey, on March 23, 2009 20:31

I have the same problem... it's not tapoulous... it's not even apple. the issue is your Service provider. Your wi-fi has no location information in it... mine is the same way.

eventually we will crack that encryption! xD – Smokey, on March 23, 2009 20:26

I think that is a good idea! Tapulous doesn't seem to be listening though... D; – Smokey, on March 19, 2009 21:45

I doubt that you can get any Black Metal onto the Tap Maker song list so I will continue to find ways to creating custom tap files...

dude!! with the 3.0 firmware, the SDK rules no longer apply to the iTunes music library. Apple now lets you tap into the iTunes music library, so now would it be possible for you guys to implement a Tap Maker?

the true early days was when it was Tap Tap Revolution xD I've only created taps for the purpose of playing with my own songs...

and I already tried converting form plist binary to ASCII...

the encryption needs to be cracked with more professional software because you need to figure out the algorithm.

O.o I didn't even think that you could use the modified tap files to cheat. But now that I think of it, that is possible.. There are already people out there working to break the encryption

Jailbreaking software is not unreliable... without a jailbroken iPod, it would be useless!!

till then... peace out!

Smokey replied on March 05, 2009 21:48 to the question "Why have Tap Tap Revenge 2 Tap files been encrypted?" in Tapulous:

yeah... I already knew that... I went in there too and found the same files the day it was released... it cannot be read with anything I know of. I though maybe it was some form of plist file cause of the first few characters of the tap file "bplist", but it turned out not to be...

So I need to know what kind of file it is and Tapulous obviously isn't willing to tell us how to read it.

Almost seems like they are against users making custom taps /:

umm? I'm still wondering if it is possible to read the tap files so I can create custom taps?

Smokey replied on March 04, 2009 21:27 to the question "Why have Tap Tap Revenge 2 Tap files been encrypted?" in Tapulous:

What would be required to view them and create custom tap files?
