Account hijacking and you

There has been a rise in the number of accounts being compromised because users can't take 20 seconds to change their password once a year or more, or can't be bothered using a secure and non-reused password.

We have had announcements up about this for well over a year. If your account is compromised, and it's determined you have not changed your password recently enough*, the account will be banned permanently. We are not in the habit of giving people who don't care about their own security, let alone ours, multiple chances to let bad actors in.

That is all.

*"Recently enough" can mean a couple things. If you were a member before we started making account security announcements around the end of 2016/beginning of 2017 and have not changed your password since then, that's not recently enough. If you joined after that, it is extremely unlikely we will reinstate the account; there have been notices up about proper security measures the entire time you've been a member and there is absolutely no reason anyone should be falling victim to this.
