Yeah, because skiddies asking for ways to hack people's WiFi, and getting command-by-command instructions, that won't impact the forums reputation similarly (just with a different demographic).

As for this forum - honestly, sociologically, this forum has a very specific 'flavor', and the same people who are misleading to newbs like this are very helpful to newbs who show themselves as trying to understand what they're doing. Now, I'm not necessarily saying that's completely right, but the main point of my post above wasn't to argue about its rightness - it was to point out that the people thanking that post weren't idiots, but quite the opposite.

As for the rightness of it, I do think it's excessive to trick people into wiping their system, but in this case, it's... let me put it this way: If you go to buy a gun without having ANY idea how a gun works or what to do with it, just because you like the idea of being able to shoot people, it's not exactly right to shoot you for trying to do so, but it's a lot less wrong than shooting a completely innocent person
