Password expirations and compromised accounts
Hello,
Users are now required to change their passwords every 365 days (I believe the technical term for this is a "year"). This is for your own protection; good account security involves regularly changing your password. If you receive a notice that your password has expired, please change it to something new.
On a related note, if you received a notice saying your account was logged into from Germany and you got banned, your account was compromised and banned for its own security (The related breach has since been neutralized). Please follow the instructions and contact [email protected] to recover your account (And again, please change to a different password). See this thread for additional information.
Thanks,
The Management

Any further posts that appear to be flaunting how they have shit password security and how they're awesome for not getting hacked even with such idiotic practices will get their accounts suspended because there's a high probability that your accounts will end up getting hacked and generate extra work for us anyways.
Seriously, it's not a positive thing to be retarded at keeping your account safe.

To those of you who have already done so, rest assured that we are ridiculing you for how incredibly stupid you are. We briefly considered denying you lot assistance when your account does get compromised, but decided that the ensuing bitching and whining would probably outweigh the amusement factor. Oh well.

I think he ment on a peace of paper at your house.
Cause I am sure writing is different then typing.
