What do you purpose, instead of this current system?
Like i stated, an IP ban rather than a charcter ban.
It seems very aggrivating and unfair that we are punished for making such minor decisions.
Suppose the offender has access to different computers at different places, he/she could still try to guess your password. The current way is much safer though it is probably more stressful.
True enough, but they cannot guess it if we make it the best we can, don't you think it is our faults if we make insecure passwords?
I myself, my new password is about 18-24 charcters long.
The reason i'm saying the charecters is because it doesn't really matter, the chance of someone getting it is VERY low.
Not only that but i tend to change my password very frequently.
All the same, our passwords should of course be difficult to guess in order to avoid being hacked.
Once again using a test metaphor:
If you are taking a test, and everyone has the same test, you would do your best to secure your surroundings in order to prevent from anyone to stealing your tests. Correct?
Now if you want to use the: "I want them to see my answers"
Well it'll simply refer to someone sharing an account.
Modification:I apologize if these test metaphors are annoying, but it's finals week and i'm subjected to taking very grueing tests.
So it's all i can think of at this point.
