Alright,this person is becoming popular in Off-Topic for it,but there might also be other potential problems because of it.The user "0" doesn't appear to have a profile.Whenever we click on his profile,it just re-links to ours.Same thing happens when we click on his latest blog post.PMing him is also impossible because he techincally doesn't "exist",since he doesn't appear to have a profile.

Because of glitches,I can't link his profile or blog post,but below is the link to thread of the user,where you can find the link to his blog post.When we click on his blog,it appears in our own profile,and when we comment,an error appears,but our comment goes through.

Add that it doesn't work to PM him since "he doesn't exist" but I think this is all related to the fact that we can't visit his profile.

Very strange indeed. Try logging out and in, i think the mysql database has found a sql error and seems to have not saved your name. Try logging out.

If you just replaced a name address of a PM to "0". Wouldn't it send that message to ALL users on GameSpot then? :|

It would recognize it as invalid. I got informed that this happened a long time ago and there was a reasonable explanation. Just wait to an admin comes on and they might collaborate on this.

I have an idea, try tracking me. If you can do that.

I can see his blog...

But you just can't post in it or else it'll just send you an "Error" search on GameSpot.

Once you get the error go back a page and refresh. Your comment will be there.

You can see any part of his profile by just pasting %200 in the relevant part of the URL.

I found out why that works as % represents a wildcard which can mean any letter but somehow its finding this letter and can find its profile. Still cant message it though.

Actually %20 represents a space in HTML encoding. That means his user name is " 0" with a space.

How is that even possible? You can't use spaces in user names on GameSpot.

Do you see a "banned oh noes" page on his profile? No.

I will lock it since the proper people know about this.
