GasBuddy Disables Comments On News
Jan 08, 2021
Due to some users who were trolling the comments on news pieces, the ability to comment them is now disabled. You will now get 125 points per story read instead of 25 points for viewing and 100 points for commenting.
There are some users finding bug or loophole and posting messages after Jan. 10. Those users are getting 2,525 points per day, 500 extra than normal condition allowed.

I know that this is more than a year old now, but is this now patched? It isn't fair for some people to be getting more daily points than allowed. |

movieboxfan , the bug was fixed sometime on Jan 26, 2021. That is good. However, I have been on Gasbuddy only a few months and found many other exploits. I found that all of the Whiteboard messages are still up from March 2018 and before. I also found that all of the Forum messages are up, although you can only access 1 message at a time. |

What users are you able to see a Whiteboard on? My Whiteboard is still disabled. The Forum is still dead for me too. One can still send a Private Message to those in their friends list but that is really the only communication method on the website that I'm aware of. Expecting a response to a trouble report sent to the Admins behind GB takes longer than mail delivered from the west coast to the east coast during the Pony Express days! As to extra points - yep! Some still do cheat/hack the system/app and are able to get extra points that a large sampling of users cannot replicate. Some users (including someone who comes here often) get put in " GB Points Jail" for their cheating and are only able to get 1,400 points a day. Most cheating for points that I've documented is done via Android devices, with GPS spoofer apps (can't run a GPS spoof app on Apple iOS) by enabling some users to take advantage of bonus points in both the US and Canada. |

Are Private Messages in the Members Messaging Area now disabled/removed on Gas Buddy?
They were there two weeks ago and now they're gone.
I can no longer see any buddies either.

While viewing the whiteboards directly from the website is disabled, requesting a certain endpoint from the website with the user id, it shows all the Whiteboard messages from March 2018 and before. Accessing a specific URL with the forum post id in it, it shows that forum message. So this shows that Gasbuddy has not deleted the old whiteboard and forum messages, but has just blocked them from public access. I don't understand why they could just keep it up, albeit read only. |

Can you share an example of " requesting a certain endpoint from the website with the user id, it shows all the Whiteboard messages from March 2018 and before." |
