ID stolen

[TheMasterNinja]

I know who is stealing your key. But i won't tell you until you accept my truce and unban me. Like i said it was my bro who did whatever he did to you because i haven't been to your server in a couple weeks. Ill tell you this though your not the only person who's id has been stolen. Actually what the hell ill spill. ShadowNhero stole a key so its probubly him who stole yours and of course he would change his name along with his key. Also a person was going around crashing servers. Forgot his name but it really doesn't matter since he's changed it by now. So basically we have a hacker on the loose.

Face this is a valid problem, not "drama"

It's not my responsibility to control the security of other people's computers.  The only way keys have been stolen thus far are:

A - Physically stolen.  ie the person wrote it on a piece of paper, their "friend" came over to their house and took it.
B - Long term "loan".  Person "loans" their key to a friend or stranger, and that person runs off with it.
C - Email compromised. 

We're pretty sure that this particular case was scenario B.  If there were a way for a hacker to easily get any key, I don't think they would be able to resist either getting a whole bunch of keys or pranking a high profile member of the community.

its C some1 is hacking Emails. Its completely unreasonable that somebody would pay for blockland just to hack it. So im sure its email compromise.

I'm glad you got the whole thing fixed up VH. But just thought this was funny:

No one hacked anyone's emails. People are intuitively stupid and forget to log off of public computers, let other people borrow their email accounts, or put their passwords on sticky-notes which they put on the side of their monitor. In fact, I had a teacher who put their password on a sticky-note, and someone logged on their computer in the middle of the weekend and scheduled about 40 pages of research to be printed, which were printed on Monday when the staff started up the printer.

It kind of annoyed me because it used up all the ink and I wasn't able to print out anything for a week since a new cartridge had to be special ordered.

Another problem is people setting the admin password to their server as the same password as their email. And their forum accounts and bank accounts.

Badspot sent me a new key, deactivated the old one and I am safe nao, this was made before the drama section so NO it wasn't posted in the wrong place, locked before more useless posts.

Could someone make a key generator, something that would make random keys untill it makes a right one?

In b4 ban.

No, because keys have to be checked by on-line validation, using a key gen would flood the server, and their connection would probably be blocked.

You could set a delay between key tries. But in that case, you are more likely to win the lottery ten times in a row then you are to generate a key in your life time.
