This last Hack was a lot worse than the first one. This one actually took the time to search out each of the moderators accounts and 'demote' them. That's why you guys couldn't see the planning room. He didn't demote everyone, but did demote 5 or 6 of you. I should have you all back to where you were prior.<br><br>
I've made some other changes behind the scenes that I hope will prevent future attacks. I'm also rethinking membership rules. What are your thoughts on some of this:<br><br>
Email accounts: No Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or similar email accounts allowed<br><br>
Actual acknowledgement: Emailing each member with instructions that they must reply to the email in order for their account to be activated.<br><br><br>
Referral Only? That will slow us down completely - but might, in the long term, make for a nicer place?<br><br><br>
Think outside the box for me - and let me know what your thoughts are on this<br><br><br>

Actually, the hacker set up a hotmail email account. Unlike the last hacker who just redirected our site, this one came in and manually made changes

Whats' a Newbie Wiki??<br><br>
When they register, the 'rules' are shown. I actually took our thread from our old site that explained the rules, and added them there.<br><br>
I don't think a user was an actual hacker. And I may be just jittery because of the crash course I've had to take to restore the site. I need to make sure members are confident in the site and it's security if I'm going to get them to use the runners log - and especially the premium log.<br><br>
I don't need to make any other changes as of now. I feel pretty confident everything is in place. I just am over cautious...<br><br><br>

That could be written and added as content on our main page. I can then change the welcome message and add a link to it so they know they are to go there and read it.<br><br>
