Your worst keyboard broadcasting mishaps? (Accidental chat spam, etc)

[TheBigBB]

A couple of weeks ago I had the biggest scare of my life that has made me really focus on pausing the Clonekeys broadcaster.

I got into an incredibly raunchy conversation with someone on an instant messenger I opened up for a moment while I was boxing and had went to browse wowwiki for some info. I had forgotten to pause the broadcaster. Imagine my horror when I came back and found my entire conversation in /say spam. Luckily I was standing in Moonglade and no one seemed to have seen any of it. I can't repeat most of the things that I typed to her in that conversation, so I'd have gotten banned for sure if anyone had seen that. Never forgot to pause! Never open up messengers during WoW sessions! Ah!

This didnt happen to me but to my friend... He was checking his bank statement online and forgot to pause octopus. Lucky for him we were chatting in guild chat and that we have our own private guild... else wise someone may have put 2 and 2 together to screw him

Try switching to ClonedKeys (note the 'd'). It checks if the current application is in its list before it broadcasts.

When I was just starting out mboxing and I was still trying to keep a low profile I replied to someones simple question in the trade channel 5x, which quickly went into hundereds of WTF's showing up in the trade channel.
I was so red in the face embarrased that I logged off for 30 min. inch:

It's not a broadcast keyboard issue, but quite similar...

I had my computer setup with a headset for vent and a webcam that sat unplugged 90% of the time. It was thrown in with some other equipment I bought and had no real purpose. Anyhow I'm logged into Vent, and I get a phone call, so I drop my headset and start talking, I'm on voice activated and the damn things still picking up my voice... so I flip the hardware microphones mute on the headset and for some reason the light on vent stayed green.

I figured what the hell, its probably some form of static in the headset so continue with my conversation... the phone calls from a guy in my guild, another officer. He's pissed about a guy who happens to be in ventrilo with me... I'm agreeing that this guys a real jackass at times, and is definitely out of line this time... I give a few other examples of why he's a dipshit, etc... meanwhile my screen in wow is blowing up with "HOT MIC" whispers from the other dozen guys in the channel with us... but I'm not reading that.

Anyhow, the guy we were badmouthing heard the whole thing and for the next few days was lividly pissed at us... after that, we noticed the behavior changed! Thankfully his overhearing our candid conversation got him to straighten up instead of bailing out!

RE: well, I hope you were talking raunchy to a friend as opposed to someone who would report you

I was chatting to a friend on another program. My broadcaster was still sending all keyboard presses even though I had no WoW client selected.

I had 1 character logged in before and logged in my 4 alts and accidently said my password in guild chat ( no one would have my login names), but still i rushed my ass to change my pw.

Weird. I never have a problem with keys I type in programs other than WoW getting sent to my WoW clients. I use Firefox and even text editors all the time and haven't ever had to pause. That said, I've been guilty of the '1222224534444434444334444' x4 says many a time.
