People stealing others' accounts.

Post by Froot loops »

Hi. I have a small explanation to make first. First of all, I originally made the name Zell for this game, and then when my 4 slots were used up, I made this name, Froot Loops. However, I then learned that it was wrong to make another account to bypass paying any money. So I gave Froot Loops to a friend.

It seems that friend decided to get funny and steal my name Zell. I don't know how he did it, but now I can't log in as Zell at all. He changed my password to something. Anyway, I remember the pass for my Froot Loops account and logged in, and I saw that he joined in a game with my name Zell AND my name Froot loops. Watch game 7318 and see. Zell and Froot loops are the same person, both of my accounts now taken over by my 'friend'. Please do something about this. I don't care if it means deleting both names, I can make another. Thank you.

I'd also like to bring into attention someone else I know who likes to do this. His original name was destroyer666, then he made boxcar. Then he stole someone else's name, Gladius. Now he likes to join games as all three people and play.

A lot of people play in school computer labs and they forget to log out when they leave so if somone comes along they can change their password and take their account. Also sometimes if someone gets up from their computer to look at another computer or something someone can come along and take their account while they're distracted.

Which is extremely annoying. I don't really know how mine was changed, since I always make sure to log out and watch the computer when I get up.

I managed to change my password back and get it under my control now.

Also there are several people who find it hilarious to hack into people's e mail acounts by using the password bypass question which is built into many mass e mail systems such as hot mail.

Zell and Froot loops are admitted multis so they've been warned and blocked from playing together again.

boxcar and destroyer666 have violated the rules. They too have been warned and banned from playing together.

As for "stolen" accounts, all the victim has to do is fill out the "Forgot my Password" form and get a new password sent to their email.

Euh, I also admitted that I wasn't using Froot Loops anymore. Why ban Zell? I didn't know that it wasn't allowed to make multiple accounts at the time it was made, and once I learned, I stopped using Froot Loops.

Whatever...
