I'm glad I was away from the computer for the majority of the days, so wasn't in any of the mass banned threads.

WHOOOOOOO my main wasn't banned :D

It seems a lot of threads are being deleted.

i knw a lot of threads i saw where locked for no reason, but i just assumed that NG was cracking down on pointless shit. Then later in the day they would be unlocked.

You guys seem completely unaware that the DD has been stealing mod accounts to lock millions of threads and get the mods deleted...

Not like iIm a pussy or anything, but this whole situation frightens me.

Oh for fuck's sake.

It's as simple as this people:
DON'T
BLINDLY
FOLLOW
INTERNET
LINKS!

Seriously, if you're stupid enough to fall for lame-ass attempts at impersonating other mods and clicking on links in PMs sent to you by accounts you can very easily tell are fakes, you probably shouldn't be trusted with site moderation to begin with. I would've expected at least a little bit more common sense from people supposedly given their positions because of their 'maturity' on the internet.

So, wait. When did this happen? I know that Dry-Ice got hacked before 12 last night, but when did the bans start to happen?

i dunno why i'm unbanned even after posting a lot yesterday. that's the only thing i fear. i must be one of the few unbanned regulars that don't have alts. good thing i ALWAYS see where links will guide me too.
except in the legend of zelda.

Dry-Ice wasn't the most recent user to be swindled from his account. The most recent wave of bannings were the result of a different user named mightypotato.

did someone notice that the hacked accounts have disgusting porn in them?

I find it extremely funny that even after reading the title, some of you are beating an almost dead horse. Shit happen, things are getting worked out, update your account, go outside for a change.

I don't see how a mod's account can be breached due to someone brute forcing their email... Cause your email isn't displayed anywhere on the site and there is no way they could retrieve and decrypt the THOUSANDS of emails sent out daily to get addys.

Or maybe it's a lot simpler than that, maybe you CAN see emails somewhere xD.

Im just glad im not banned

i hear that! WOOT 300 posts!

Thank you very much for that ever so detailed information. What went on?

I'm glad to see that they haven't managed to ban me yet.

Those fags deserve to die.

Wow, is it that hard not to open a link that you get through PM/E-mail?
Honestly.

Lol you guys are worrying about nothing. The DD can't do shit. Yeah they might be able to cause a minor hiccup like this but nothing will happen when 4 AM rolls around.

im still gonna change my pw

Is that what happened to my Dragon force thread with over a hundred replies?

should i change my password for the time being?
because i know a very random one.

We'll have to wait and see... I'll be there to block their way. (even though they'll probably plow over me with an E-Tank) They've Already Done Enough Damage By Destroying 4 Mods.

I've got hope.

4 victims so far;

In order;

WritersBlock
KaynSlamdyke
Dry-Ice
mightypotato

Let's hope that's it now.

4 mods... damn wtf. Those scrubs needs lives otherwise they wouldn't go around tricking mods into their bullshit just for a "lol".

Well, at least we have something interesting going on for once.

They were favorite mods too!!!

Not really, I only knew like two of those mods.

My panties were off months ago.

Enough is enough, I'm sick of hearing about this.Time for Internet safety 101.

1) Have a LONG ALPHANUMERIC PASSWORD. That is, letters and numbers. Capitalise some of the letters.

2) Don't use anything obvious, like your username backwards or a pet's name you regularly discuss or anything like that. Don't make it easy for someone to randomly guess your password.

3) CHECK THE LINK YOU'RE CLICKING ON! Instead of just clicking on the link, hover over it and look at the bottom of your browser window to see where it's sending you first.

4) If you do click on a link and it asks for your username/password, question why it's asking you this first. If this is supposedly a Newgrounds site and you've just clicked the link on a Newgrounds page, it shouldn't ask for your password again. The only times the Newgrounds site will ask for your password is if you've:
a - signed out, or visited the site for the first time today and don't have your browser save the password
b - changed any details
c - cleared your internet cache.

5) Change your password regularly. If you think your account has been compromised, CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY.

The staff/admin of the site can only help you so far if there's a problem, you have to protect yourselved and your own information too. Internet security is only as idiotproof as the dumbest idiot it's tested on at launch.

And finally, a word from our sponsors...
