Hacked Account and The Forums

[seaNNN]

For some reason despite the stickies some take it upon themselves to post about HACKED ACCOUNTS. It is great that you are trying to help a future someone from getting theirs phished, however it does NOT belong on the forums. I know it is frustrating to have your account stole believe me I have been there. People should realize we have stickies for this.

... we don't need 1000 threads about yours or someone else's account getting hacked.

If someone gets their account phished and you know about it, best thing you can do is PM a leadership member from their division. Posting it on the forums will cause unnecessary commotion and will get the thread locked.

ya I'm tired of seeing everyday, a new thread about i got my account phished

we should bring this up in meetings to get people to stop making endless threads about this and to teach people who don't know what to look out for how to protect themselves from this phishing attempts.

99% of the time people aren't getting hacked they are getting tricked into giving there info to fake steam sites and what not. so as longs as we educated are members on what to look for this problem will all but disappear.
