Maybe it is only staff members who aren't getting them?

Only staff members has said no and only non staff say yes... From what I remember 🙈
 
At the very least this served as a learning experience for such an occasion where emailing users would be necessary.
Thinking of the positives here.
 
Hello.

Our forum is under attack by people who post what appear to be crypto Telegram links, but they likely contain viruses that infect the computers of those who click them.

Do NOT under any circumstances click on these links, or quote the messages that contain them.

If you see such posts, quickly report them to our rule-violation reports thread, so our staff members can delete them.

Here is what they look like:

According to our available information, it appears that the hackers are using programs to brute force access the accounts of members with weak passwords.

Everybody please make sure that you have sufficiently strong passwords that use a mixture of letters, numbers, and symbols, and use at least 17 to 18 of them in combination, and also always use two-factor authentication if possible.

I extremely strongly recommend that everybody who read this follow these instructions to get stronger passwords and two-factor authentication, and inform all other members here that they know about it as well.
thank you for telling me it's very troublesome
 
Well, apart from inactivity there are some that not even fulfilling their role as such, but that does not concern me.
 
I do not recall so well, but we have likely been lenient enough, and it wouldn't at all be good if our staff members' accounts get hacked, to say the least.
 
It seems like only the following staff members are long-term inactive right now:

@Jvando @UchihaSlayer96 @EliminatorVenom

However, Agnaa and Wokistan have technically also not been able to help out for quite a long while, despite visiting every now and then, and I am sure that is true for several other staff members as well.
 
It's why I've never been hacked
Until now.

I'm in.
 
Hop is able to log in and has no issues with the account. Hop will focus on being more active and addressing staff concerns. Also, as a reminder, Hop is friends with a large amount of staff on Discord, but Hop hasn't had access to these accounts going on 6 months+ and you should ignore them if "Hop" has messaged you on there. Hop simply doesn't use the platform anymore but hasn't been able to log in and delete the account(s). Until Hop returns, please just "mute" Hop until a post is made on the personal user wall on here first. All Hop accounts outside Fandom and YT are either fan or impersonating accounts.
 
If anybody notices a message or messages that seem dangerous and/or hacked, please quickly report it in our rule-violation reports thread.

And all administrators and discussion moderators are required to subscribe to it, bookmark it, and regularly visit it, as an extremely important part of their work duties here.
