Within the past week I have gotten six emails that say this:

The IP addresses are in China (2), Hong Kong, Dubai, Los Angeles, and India, respectively.

This happens from time to time; either a random hacker or an existing member trying to harass another member. Send me a PM with the details, specifically their IP addresses and I'll block them from the site.

they shoudnt be listed in the same category as hacking;they arent even 'script kiddies',theyre just people attempting to hijack peoples accounts for their own amusement and to make other people responsible for their pathetic lives.
