Here's an idea: Stop making us use our Graal passwords as forum passwords. - Page 2

it makes no sense to force people to have certain passwords when the only way in which they actually are compromised is by having their whole computer's security being compromised. when the user's security is bypassed it doesn't matter if the password is "bugger" or "ijs8Ej9" or whatever, because they are equally easy to steal if a trojan is present.

Exactly, it doesn't matter. So why force us to use a password that is randomly created that is very hard to remember? Most people leave them in their e-mail in box's, which is a risk. They should just allow people to set their own password, it's just more convenient.

But Unixmad flat out denied that. They must not have them regardless of the fact everyone has been receiving E-Mails requesting to join the bad servers!!

*COUGH* Denial is most certainly NOT the best policy in situations like this. Removal of this point would only justify the fact that admins would rather hide then deal with it professionally.

Could just be the other way round. Someone may use his/her Graal password as an AIM/ICQ/MSN/YIM/E-Mail/whatever password. If someone can get that one, everythings ****ed up. Same ****. You cant fix humans.

I haven't gotten any e-mails. I must not be cool enough to join.

As for the passwords. I don't care I have my graal one memorized. Though if the graal password was user created, and the "bad people" got their passwords all of their stuff would be compromised (Assuming they use the same pass for everything.). I personally have multiple passwords for different things, so I don't really care.

That's a risk that they take far beyond Graal.
