    I have about 80m worth of items scattered across several accounts. It is by no means a lot compared to what you guys have, but it's everything I legitimately acquired over 13 years. I feel like I'd have a minor stroke if I lost everything.

    Reddit is totally a competing force. I regularly leave my comfortable troll cave here and go to reddit to trash talk you bitches.

    Actually I don't even know how reddit works. It confuses and scares me.
    Oh and your account will never be safe.

    Edit: if it'll make you feel better, my account has been up for sale on here twice. :/
    At least you can keep an eye on the trades and match it up then change your shit to stop it.

    Well it's not like you can tell the difference.

    Like what's already been said:

    -If the hacker is dedicated enough, nothing you do can keep him/her out.
    -In other cases, regularly changing your password, pin, and email can curb the risk of account hijacking.

    To add:

    -Make sure the email you link your accounts to is registered (in case it's not your regular email or not accessed in a long time). One of the easiest ways for the average account thief is to simply make a former email that's been purged, unknown to you.
    -Don't flaunt your wealth. Hide any valuables or sign of worth from the public, like on your userlookup. Thieves and hackers will be less interested in trying to crack your account if it looks worthless on the outside. This includes shop, gallery, auctions, trades, etc.
    -Stay out of the public eye. Like the reason above, the less attention you receive, the less negative attention you'll receive.

    You can't stop the rapist, but you can make yourself ugly, so he doesn't want to.

    Not to negate all the wonderful things you've said, but i really want to donkey punch you for this. And I've never wanted to hurt you before

    Rape isn't about looks. It's about control. And yes, you can stop it. Don't give in to the pussification of modern times. Learn to shoot a gun, handle a knife, or defend yourself with a spoon. IDGAF. And then utilize it when the time comes.

    @(you need an account to see links), you broke my heart tonight.

    I was just joking, it wasn't taken to be literal, but as a metaphor to the OP's question.
    I would've expected you of all people to know that, my soldier.

    I feel the same way about rape, but I understand where Mod was coming from. Anyways, I heard using the elbow is really good for self defense because it's so hard. /shrug
