Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Petition
I was hacked twice, I was the stupid 1/1000000000gaians who actually believed the "mod"/"admin" who told me that they needed my password to start an investigation!!! Well then for the whole day after my passwords were changed and my items stolen and I felt like crying I decided I knew how to almost stop it!!! Stop people from creating names with the word MOD and or AD/ADM/ADMIN so that no one gets confused like me, even with the big words of the ADMINS AND MODS WILL NOT ASK FOR A PASSWORD OR USERNAME ACCOUNT INFORMATION!!!

So that is my idea no having the word AD/ADM/ADMIN or MOD in a username!!!

the only way you wouldn't agree is you are a hacker

How?
Well tell me how do they make it so there's no doubles of one name??? How do they ban certain names that hacked, of course hackers have more than one account so they get what they steal, or did other things to get them banned? Havin ADMIN or ADM or MOD confuses some of us, and some of us don't know the color coding!!! So how you ask, using the good ol' PHP with HTML and XHTML to make certain words not available, if neopets can do it so can gaia!!!

The GAIA moderators is a lighter shade, I just couldn't find it...The Gaia helpers is really black so you can't tell but I doubt they're given tasks such as investigating something.

Technically under the american constitution you can't place a common sense bar, even though there should be!!!

Sign i got hacked twice too... because i believed in the system around here... apparently i was wrong... Sign me up chadder

yeah... i agree.... i've never had my account hacked. I've had alot of people try to, but i've never had it happen. It's practically impossibly to guess a password. So seeing as we have all seen the message " admin will never ask for your password" a million times, it just makes you stupid to give someone your password.
