The Good Hearted Demon I really think it's sad that people would try to hack someone. Why do they have to be so sick and hack people? Why can't they just be like normal people and have fun and make friends on Gaia. |

His_One_True_Love6107 Field-Of--Tears I have a question, like if someone gets into your account and changes the email address are you sent a verification email? Unfortunately, no. I personally thing that should be part of the system, cause about a year ago I screwed up and gave them my password but then I figured out a way to re change the password. by logging out I selected forgot password and changed it through my email but if we can't do that then that's not good. I was able to protect my stuff but what about other people? if they change the email without us having a chance to stop it then it's hopeless if someone makes a mistake. And don't get me wrong, everyone messes up, some just don't do it as much as others. |

Pink Kina Sohma His_One_True_Love6107 Field-Of--Tears I have a question, like if someone gets into your account and changes the email address are you sent a verification email? Unfortunately, no. Depends. I lost one of my domain names and hence, couldn't get email at the original address this account would have been at. There's lots of instances when people can't get to their old email for whatever reason. |

This should be the FIRST THING people see, when they Register to Gaia
The second should be the TOS, let it be a Force redirection, and Users can only move on when they click a Confirmation. You guys go out of your way to try and keep people safe. And its up to us to work together and inform others. New Users dont know about these Scams, and some REALLY are convincing. |

NO Staff would ever Ask you for your Password! There are people who are Scripters, that can get loose around the site, and disrupt things. but at no point will a Staff ask for information about your Pass. I wish you had Taken a Screen Shot of this, then it would be easier to figure out. |

hackers are idiots , my cousin once got his email hacked and he called me...in the middle of the night mind you and asked me whether he was online or not. when i said he was, he totally freaked out and start yelling [yes yelling] in the phone.
to make it more worst the hacker, asked for my username and password. which i didnt give but i changed the subject. saying that i liked him [not, it was my cousin's avi for heaven's sake] and wanted to meet him in town. stupid thing was, he replied to my 'confession' saying that he was willingly to become my 'boyfriend' and my cousin and i was like "ROTFLMAO". after debating to meet up with me, which he refused , i said "i know your a hacker" and he was "what are you talking about, its me the one you know" .........stupid reply.......... after fighting using pms, he finally gave up when he said "oh dont be silly~ im your cousin" and i was "he would NEVER say that" which is true.and i wrote some words on the pm only my cousin and i could understand as asian. and he was pissed lol. then gave back the email...but the email only worked 1 month later. |

this came real handy to me because i got to know that green are for moderators and brown are for developers
|

I've gotten about 2 of these messages, one of them [knowing I just started Gaia] I almost fell for it. And then the second came along and I replied to them "Your not a moderator, I don't trust you. I'm not giving my password."
I didn't get a reply after that though. D: It helped out alot :B |

If the whole point is to catch these scammers, wouldn't it be a bad idea to only allow PMs from friends?
