Site security update

 

In response to the threat posed by individuals who create accounts with the sole purpose of cheating, bullying, threatening or harassing, who hide behind VPN and 10-minute email addresses, we have decided to put restrictions on social interactions and trading if you are using a VPN.

 

Specifically, this mean that you now will have to be at least level 6 in order to send messages, create forums or forum posts, or other kinds of of social interactions if you are currently using a VPN. This level restriction will be under review, and may change if it is found to be either too high or too low.

 

In addition to this, we now only allow signups using specific whitelisted email providers. This is to effectively eliminate the use of thowaway emails.

This will have no consequences for existing accounts using emails that may not be whitelisted.

 

We have also made upgrades to our internal systems, to more effectively deal with any new threats that may arise.

 

TL;DR:

  • Level 6 required to trade/message/write forums if you use VPN
  • Limits on email providers for signup.
  • Internal security tools update.
