Today I received an email from a friend of mine in California. He and a few of his friends are putting out the word [Blogshares Hostile to the Disabled].
His email contained a very large attachment, dozens and dozens of screenshots offering proof that Blog Shares allowed members of their game club to attack a mother-daughter team. The daughter is wheelchair bound, and has a multitude of medical problems making the game difficult for her to play. But because she is confined, the game is one of her few joys in the day.
She was at her mother's home, and when she is visiting her mother assumes the role of caretaker. She needed her mother's help in using the keyboard. She asked her mother to type for her. This seems simple enough. However, Blog Shares has a rule against keeping more than one account, and they claim that in helping her daughter [by typing for her daughter], the mother broke a cardinal rule.
I was also sent copies of a transcript proving that the administrators of this game knew that the mother was not cheating. They were made aware and understood that she was merely typing "at her daughter's behest" [a comment added by the woman (illustrator, Catnapping) who captured and bundled the screenshots].
I've never played this game. Before today I had never heard of Blog Shares. Whoever they are, they're bad news.
