Safety Guidlines
Crackers get hold of your passwords by gaining access to email via the security question,
or by guessing the password of an admin or gmod, or running a scanner to do the same.
Follow these guidelines :-
1. Ensure your email password security question is not obvious (don't have 'my favourite football team' then go talking about them non stop)
2. You may want to change your email address / provider (the cracker may still have access to the old one)
3. Use the 'Hide email' option (if you want members to contact you, use one of the free 'throwaway' emails for public view)
4. Make ANY passwords difficult (use upper and lower case letters, mixed with numbers)
5. Use different passwords for each account.
6. Use different email for your main Admin account(s), and don't make it public.
7. Don't let ANYONE know your passwords (if you make a note of them, keep them safe)
8. If you share a computer/ computer account, don't 'let the computer remember password'
9. Tell your main staff to do the same (2nd Admin, and G Mods)
10. Don't open links in PM's, unless you know EXACTLY what it is.
=========================

You may copy the above guidelines for use on ANY Proboard site, in PM's or posts.
You may also link to us, Mini banners are available

There is a Random Password Generator HERE (courtesy of Frufru)

Extra rule for Main Admin :- Be careful who you promote to GMod, or 2nd Admin, and restrict powers.
(do not give powers that affect the board settings)
