If you receive a PM from a user called "acklianer" (or "guest"), don't click on the link it contains, as it is possible it has an exploit in it that will try to reset your password. PM will have lots of non-alphanumeric characters, both in the heading and on the link.

User is about to be deleted.


Again, DON'T click on the link.

I got one of the ferracont ones. The user has been deleted.

These PMs are easy to spot by the nonsensical titles made up of random characters. If you get one, note the user and let one of the admins (myself, Darkson or Draco) know and we'll delete the user asap.

Just had to deactivate our first "regular" user that has had their account hacked - don't let this happen to yours -
DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK- it's that simple.
