My ideals to improve Yahoo! Account-Security

[Pimp16_]

Why not just allow for new members (and current members alike if they choose) to incorporate the now "illegal" characters into their desired screen name??? n3td3v. Why are you so concerned with this issue? Did you have a old yahoo screen name that would've been considered a rare or "illegal" until someone cracked it and chapped your ass? Fact of the matter is most of these "illegals" are inactive accounts so whose security is at threat? It's a hobby! It's something to do. Us crackers couldn't care less about the personal information on the account. All we want to see is if there are any "illegal" names on the sub accounts. I would say 99% of the time these aco****s e-mail accounts have been deactivated so it's not like we get the yahoo account then cross our fingers hoping you have all your life info in a e-mail folder. As far as all that buying and selling the names **** you were talkin about... like i said. It's a hobby just like baseball cards. I'm sure your everday yahoo account isn't an original or a rare(illegals) so you can rest easy that no malicous illegitimate yahoo user :| is gonna be after ya.
