I've already seen several suspicious accounts which I've noted down mentally.

Even if the hash does change, it doesn't matter because the hacker would be testing against the same password. So, if he has a dump of your hash and manages to crack it, then it will show your password as "rehash". Which you still have as your password. So changing it to the same thing...wouldn't help you.

Unfortunatly this seems to be a reoccuring issue. Again, good job in minimising the damage done. Keep us up to date on the situation regarding how they obtained the information needed to gain access.

The users who are leaving you feedback are not on Default Trust. Therefore, they are listed under the untrusted section. You can add them to your trust list which will show them as trusted ratings to you and only you. If someone on the default trust depth 1 or 2 leaves you feedback, then it will be listed under trusted feedback for whoever has default trust trusted.

If anyone has those users in their trust list, they will appear as trusted ratings for them. It's recommended for anyone not familar with users or the trust system to use Default Trust as a guideline. You'll find a lot of people have custom lists though.

Don't get your expectations too high. I don't think it's going to be anything revolutionary by the looks of the requirements that theymos has given to the public, and it seems Slickage(?) is building the core, the very foundations of the software and it will be expanded upon in the future by the public.

The features being introduced look to be a more personalised forum to Bitcoiners and theymos, rather than something to blow anyone out of the water. I'm not saying it's going to be terrible either, I'm just saying that simple machines, was even barer in features when it was first released and was very buggy. So don't expect a miracle and everything clean sailing from the time it's released to the public.  Of course, we all have certain expectations because of the price tag, which I don't know if I agree with although, I've never really been in the market for building a forum engine from the very scratch so wouldn't know the going price, I do know it's a hell of a lot of money though.

I'm just hoping we won't go over the top with features, I prefer simple machines to the alternatives because of it's basic and minimalistic feel. It seems theymos also shares this attitude.  I really dislike modern forums because of the lack of content that each page displays, instead it's fancy graphics and blank space which I find unbearable. Hopefully, it's not going to be anything like disclouse. The staff who are beta testing at the moment probably have the best idea of how it's going and what to expect. I know we'll be seeing a lot of meta threads when it is finally released, regardless of the state of the software.

That's a whole lot of bread they can buy with exchange money. Anyways, it's no point in justifying it because it simply can't be done. Stealing is stealing no matter the circumstances.

If they are hackers, which can exploit the structure of a well used website, then they can offer their skills in programming or other fields as it's certain that they are competent in their field. Websites offer bountys for finding exploits, it's called penertration testing.

Make sure you make note of the password, even if it's by using some techniques to remember it. I've made the mistake of creating a wallet whilst not having full concentration before, it's not fun. Although, I knew most of it and made a small error, so I bruteforced it and got it eventually. If you know the majority of the password then this could be a solution for yourself.

Don't beat yourself up though, I've had hundreds of people come to me because they have lost their password or made a slight error, everyones human and these sort of things from time to time.

With good judgement. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's less obvious. The majority of the time you won't know. From my perspective there is nothing with alternate accounts. It gives people the freedom to give an opinion or view from a identity that isn't their 'main'. The accounts which are malcious are the ones that give themselves trust, spam etc.

Whoever posts on an alternative account regular normally slips up eventually. You'll see blatent obvious ones which speak the same and use the same vocabulary and structure.

There's certainly techniques available for the inital remembering stage. I've remembered long passphrases and private keys over the years. Although, the private keys are not redudant has I've moved onto new addresses.

If he wants to make his life easier though, he could just use a password manager like keepass.

That would mean your private keys are always on you, rather in a external location to yourself. It's a shitty way for protecting Bitcoin, same as this pill is absolute nonsense. The more 'advanced' the technique it seems its easier to get the information that can be protected pretty well with some basic techniques.

Although I understand why it was added,  I never understood how some people could be so unaware of the username when talking to another user. At ths rate in few years time we'll have to spoon feed people.

What have you been up too?

No it's not. Why do people think this? I see this question all the time. Even if you do a massive arrow pointing to it and bolded text doesn't mean it's allowed.

mprep has given you a solution. Shoot a message to BadBear to see if you can repost it, you'll get your answer and final decision there.

Spam isn't about the quantity that has been posted.  It's a message which is either irrelevant or off topic to the discussion. Also, the quality of the post in question. Of course, there is spam which is sending a lot of posts/messages in a small period of time. But, just because someone has posted 1 post which consists of spam doesn't mean it's not spam just because they have done it once.

I'm closing in on the 2000 mark and it's been at 99% for about a month or so. But, before that I was on 98% for pretty much the whole duration that I was reporting. It's calculated in percentages so you won't see the difference very often if you've reported a large amount of posts. It can take a while to handle some of the reports, normally ones that aren't newbies posting the topic/reply because, of the limited amount of staff higher than patrollers.

I've had to wait for around 6-8 hours for higher than newbies posts to be removed, and 2 hours maximum for newbie posts to be removed/dealt with.

Unicorns fly? Well you learn something new everyday! On topic, Pathetic story and a little delayed considering the timeline of things, I give you a 1 out of 10, you know for creativity 

I'll give it a go, thanks for providing the opportunity.

I've checked your history and it isn't good enough to justify a 'no collateral loan' besides even if that was the case it still requires a singed message to confirm you are who you say you are. Because you have taken loans out before and paid them back doesn't mean anything. You might be in a tight spot right now and you might be prepared to do something that you wouldn't normally do.

There's a lot of things to consider when loaning, requesting a loan without collateral is potentially putting your account at risk of receiving negative feedback.

I find it hard to believe that anyone hasn't got any collateral that they can offer, meaning in no circumstance should there not be collateral. Although, sometimes when the user is reputable and is verified using a signed messages it does happen.

However, that isn't the case with your account. You need to provide collateral. Anyone looking to fund this request, please require collateral. It will save you some headaches later on down the line if the user does default.

I used devthedev a few weeks back for holding an account of a person that I lent Bitcoin too, everything went through without any issues. Will be using the service again when required. I believe I have already left the appropriate feedback.

I sent a small tip to devthedev as a thank you.
