Guys,
Just a friendly reminder, you should protect yourself at all times, especially if you are using the PX
Our registrations are increasing, hourly, not just daily. We attempt to vet the accounts to protect you on our end by manually approving the new accounts via IP, email and user name, all these things we look at in order to identify potential issues. But that doesn't mean we are always successful.
The site is super busy, IE our traffic is increasing and that makes it a target. Once they see they can get the traction they strike.
We block most VPN and Proxy accounts, many to the complaints of their owners who get blanket rejected. We understand a lot of professionals today use a VPN, but so do the scam artists and hackers. Many of the older members can tell you about the Chinese hacks, which have been reduced greatly by this method, but scammers can get through.
Sure they have to pay to get into the PX immediately but not to BUY, so they will try these reverse scams. Also, we have had a few use stolen credit cards to sign up in order to Buy in.
Vet your sales thoroughly, the idea of a great deal or quick sell may seem awesome on face value, but when you get burned, understand we have very little recourse when they fade back into the ether. They have layers of protection, so you need to up your game.
We try not to play big brother and I would rather remove than have to investigate something shady. It's easier to say no, so we do, but with so many new registrations the odds are not in our favor, or yours.
We want your SH experience to be positive, which requires help on your end not just ours. If you think it's shady it probably is, so walk away.
I turn down dozens of registrations a day as I said, many of those might be valid, but we pass anyway. I can deal with the lectures and the hate mail for rejecting accounts, but again, watch your back.
Lastly,
Mind your manners, you're being watched, and not by us. Unfriendly forces are scanning the site to identify hate and threats and they are submitting them to the government. In those cases, the government will investigate. They are your political opponents who are submitting your words to law enforcement. Politically motivated hate speech will get you in trouble. These people are out there, they want to hurt you for your words and views.
Be smart, it's still the internet and while many of us have created friendships here, they are not your friends, they will push you off the cliff.
Friendly reminder for all
