A compromised user account can result in PM spam, access to personal details, etc. I don't want that to happen; it's a lot of work for staff, and it's annoying for the user(s) involved.
Quote:These type of passwords should be used for an account users have money invested in, not a forum site.People have a lot of personal information in our database. They have private conversations, and some of them even have nude pictures of themselves. Protecting that data is just as important as protecting money. Identify theft exists; blackmail exists.
