May I suggest better password and privelage password encryption? Sure, this
will only keep them out for a little while, but you never know.. it might
work. I've heard stories from a reformed hacker friend who says it's
relatively easy to steal a privelage password. Not sure about account pws.

Well... if it's encrypted, the hacker friend can't very well use it can
they? Especially if that password encryption is based in part on some
dynamic variable... like the person's name or something.

Facter has to do something. Otherwise he'll get flooded with even more lost
account problems. :\ I say loose the ini file and figure something else
out. Bury it deep in the registry.
What do other services do for password protection? Look at what they do,
the problems they're having with their methods, and go from there.

The timing was wrong. The method was wrong. A full ban might have been
wrong, I don't know. However if a person after multiple temporary bannings
continues his/her behavior, a full ban should be considered. Why? Well if
they've been temporarily banned several times and they continue to behave
that way, then it's probably pretty well established that the offending
person is not going to learn anything from the situation.

That's like saying evil is needed for there to be good people.

You still have to make the distinction. Good and evil are not black and
white terms.

I say don't make the general discussion group a dumping ground for flame
wars and useless posts. That seems to be what you think it should be. It's
general discussion after all, not Offtopic.Flames. Right now it's
functioning just as well as the community group.
The community and general discussion newsgroups should have the same
charter, the only differences in each being what is considered on and off
topic.
And in the interest of compromise, HTML posting should also be allowed in
general discussion, but _only_ if it's in taste. No colorful/clashy
backgrounds or text, or anything over 10 kb. And images should be linked,
not posted.

I think you're beginning to flame marcus just for the heck of it. :) I
agree, self-policing is usually a good way to work through things here.

I am afraid, Gamer, that nomatter what someone tries to do, there will
always be at least one person who doesn't like it or will whine
regardlessly.
I think Rick and JP should read the NGs at least once a day, and perhaps
post here from time to time. That will definitely show most of us around
here that the company is listening, but it would not be an eye opener to
everyone.
