Active Accounts & Account Safety?

@(you need an account to see links) , that is true, but shielding your UN by anonymity makes it much less likely you'll be targeted overall, like hiding valuables from plain sight in a car.

Another possibility is extortion, wherein the seller/buyer threatens to release your UN publicly. Motives could be for further gain, PO'd from a deal gone awry, or just being an asshole. This has happened here as recently as last month, though I won't disclose names. And y'know, TNT are ban-happy, often jumping in before investigating.

Haha, I might just apply for a monitor job at nick and troll around with them... You never know. But then again, TNT seems pretty close minded, as opposed to the CIA who know that such a thing would be be advantageous.

And yeah DarkAngel is right, it's very hard to sell premium accounts... Much less have the nerve to go after them. It's best IMO to get premium if you can, and in case Joe releases you from a list, have all your information logged like warnings etc.

Even if you worry about Joe's list or whatnot, it's still dated. Change your password every two weeks, even up to a month. No one has direct access to your password anymore, and if they did, it's your old password by this point.

Kylae's right, then. I didn't know whether Joe's lists were on demand from a hole in the servers or something, but since their dated, staying away from people (aka not advertising your UN) and changing your password will save you.
