It's true that users must confirm a link before clicking it. but really with this poor spamming filtering on the forum it's easier to sprint on a landmine zone than spending a few hours on the forum :D.

come on guys !! don't the tech team get paid here?  at least force plain text on all messages so help eliminate this B.S.

you got his profile,maybe ask him !


+ these guys usually don't give a fudge about your bitcointalk account. they want your emails/passwords to try and utilize it for other purposes.

had to check twice before clicking the link you posted lol nothing personal but i am super terrified :D..

even though I am almost certain than going to the link he sent won't do no harm if you don't try to log in. i still want change my password, but since i am so active on the market place. that red "THIS USER PASSWORD WAS CHANGED RECENTLY" is more terrifying lol. but if you don't care about that, maybe you should change your password especially if you have it saved on the browser.

The staff has already perman ban those member... you can check my thread and read about it, and no i dont store any information online neither into the computer, there are better and safe places to store those kind of information. I had considered to change my password but i havent done anything wich could put my account into risk at all.
