Additionally, if you have used brownie points on a character for a cheat item like the GameDolphin, you will not gain any fans during pwnage of a thread, and all fan-gaining missions will fail

I think they should make it so the bumon isn’t there for fan earning missions in the jobs similar to the way there is no bumon in Kyoubai that way people don’t accidentally waste a forum visit on one to find out it didn’t work. And since it doesn’t say anything about fans when you pwn the forum, nor does it show how many you had earned in the failed mission text, this would make it less confusing for those of us that didn’t bother to read that on the wiki.
