Banned for too many failed log in attemps...><
« on: May 17, 2008, 07:07:55 PM »

I think this auto ban for failing too many login attemps is unfair,I only messed up one and I still got banned.I don't think I should be banned from my own account just because of a mis-spelling.so I'm basically being punished for trying to log back onto my own account.Now is it just me,or does anyone else find that completely messed up?

It's a safety precaution to keep others from guessing someone's passwords with unlimited tries.

I think it is 10 times or so before you get a ban, correct me if I'm wrong.
Plenty of tries to get your password right.

Use the search function as well to see similar topics related to yours please.

You might be able to petition it in, or your ban might get lifted depending on what Neji or the other staff members say.

I've only messed up  once or twice in the past...there has to be some way to convince the mods to lift this ban

A security question.

You mean, an option to prevent password guessing by brute force should be replaced by a security question that can very well be brute forced or even EASIER guessed?
You don't want a game that has a "what's your password" and "what's your secret hair color" question ...

We have had accounts that WERE brute forced (naruto characters as passwords, and as "naruto" made BING they got hold of the char).

I imagine you will then again complain after such a question "waah, my char is lost! why?? why did you not make it safer?"

No, it is a no-go.

Your own fault, so stop complaining.
