You're basing your opinion way too much on that incident. I can name several staff members from the top of my head that were hacked and later re-promoted. Believe it or not, users getting hacked is very often overlooked by the owners. It would be a totally different thing if Ben had gotten hacked multiple times, but this has only occurred once. I really think you should reconsider what you're saying here, one or two cons does not outweigh multiple pros that Ben brings to the table as a moderator.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
It's my opinion regardless. I feel like security is something that should be deeply considered when hiring staff, for it is a position that can be abused in the wrong hands. Yes, being hacked once is probably a minor thing for some, but I view account security in a slightly deviant manner.
Not asking for anyone to agree with me, I merely wanted to voice my opinion.

Anything in-game staff do is easily undone. Although the point that has been brought up about security is looked into.[/COLOR]

I understand your concern but my account is ultra secure now.
Being hacked has made me extremely conscious of what I do. I don't download anything apart from files from trustworthy sources that I always scan for viruses anyway. I run virus scans every day and also after downloading anything.
My computer is totally clean.
I use a damn onscreen keyboard to enter my password, just in case.

I suppose you are right.

The security breach is something I can overlook if you are truly conscious about it. My reserves about security are due to some past occurrences on old servers that didn't end well, so I am generally very cautious when it comes to the aspect of account security.
You can consider this reply a yes vote. My voting (on the poll) was done a while back, and it appears I was focusing too much on my past reservations about you.
My vote holds so long as you can be yourself. When you're being yourself, I find that your posts and general messages are enjoyable to read.

Thanks but this happened months ago. I'm clean now.
