I agree with almost eveything, except the fact that if someone wants revenge, the time spent finding out a persons password would most-likely be worthwhile to them. Of course it is unlikely, but please; don't make it seem like it's impossible.

Also, if your account is stolen and random things are posted on the forum that is completely queer to the normal posting habits of the true account owner (where you could EVEN check IPs/etc. to make sure it wasn't actually him/her), results in a permanant ban of ALL the user's accounts. EVEN THOUGH the true account owner speaks up about it for the past ~2 years and can literally get almost anyone to back him up to prove that it wasn't him/her who broke any rules, which even THEY know is the truth.

Is that fair? NO.
Do I want my account back? YES.
Do I DESERVE my account(s) back? YES.  

Remember, your account security is your responsibility, and we urge you to take precautions when playing from a computer you are not completely familiar with (and even when playing from a shared computer).

I don't play WolfTeam on any other computer but my own. Also, other than my recent accounts (Gleenis & xPene) I never logged on the forum from anywhere other than my laptop. So that's not the case.  

I'm feeling generous today.

Everybody send me your account and password via profile message and I will keep them safe for you. As long as I have them, no one will be able to compromise your account.


*quietly waits for accounts to gather*, in effort to rule the world. lololololol

Stay back, I will trom you (3rd comment).  

Calibur,
you got to realize that a hacker could reach into someone's account without the owner of such account exercising these security techniques. As you said, it's not impossible, and it's truly not fair for the victim of such event to not even get his account back. Yes, it was his responsibility, but no amount of security fortification could prevent a dedicated hack.
