Not that it was okay--still completely ban worthy--but considering our current economy and member base, it might not be that serious. He is at the very least still receiving an infraction and/or a temporary ban.

3. Has nothing at all to do with security. And he got into a moderator account, not admin. Password changes definitely not warranted.

1. While I understand where you are coming from, not having the self control to stop yourself from doing this, on my forum, wold warrent for immediate action, regardless of the economy or user base. It gives off a sign that users can get away with what they please, in this case being something thought of as a big deal, logging into the account of a moderator. But this is only my own opinion.

2. Regardless of who's fault it is. I agree, it's probably Flare's fault, but regardless, read the above response. It gives the impression that users can abuse such exploits without so much as a slap on the wrist.

3. It has to do with Flare's obvious security issue. I'm not saying everyone requires a password change, but I believe the security I am talking about is password strength. Just give everyone a reminder to make sure their passwords aren't easially guess, and the sort. And the same with security questions. It's not to harp on the staf,, just to give them an eye on what happened and to be weary. It has to do with the security of accounts. Not database security, but it's obvious it had something to do with Flare. I garentee whats his name didn't do some elite hacker shit. It was probably just a bit of stalking on his part to guess personal info, and flare's negligence. Nonetheless, Bunny went out of his way to commit this act. You must admit this. It took effort and thought.


Also, Off topic, I enjoy discussions with you.
