Password expirations and compromised accounts
Hello,
Users are now required to change their passwords every 365 days (I believe the technical term for this is a "year"). This is for your own protection; good account security involves regularly changing your password. If you receive a notice that your password has expired, please change it to something new.
On a related note, if you received a notice saying your account was logged into from Germany and you got banned, your account was compromised and banned for its own security (The related breach has since been neutralized). Please follow the instructions and contact [email protected] to recover your account (And again, please change to a different password). See this thread for additional information.
Thanks,
The Management

Any further posts that appear to be flaunting how they have shit password security and how they're awesome for not getting hacked even with such idiotic practices will get their accounts suspended because there's a high probability that your accounts will end up getting hacked and generate extra work for us anyways.
Seriously, it's not a positive thing to be retarded at keeping your account safe.

Very smart idea to make it required to change it every year. The amount of accounts that have been breached lately has been rediculously high, so hopefully this will make everything more secure, and prevent accounts from being hijacked in the future.
