Guest David Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 I understand the need to protect users id but is this not going a little far. A four hour lockout is a bit over the top. Secondly what a great game, i'm addicted, let me in!!!! Quote
ExplodyThingy Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 Granted, 4 hours is harsh. I would lower it to 30 minutes to an hour. But they are used to prevent people from brute forcing passwords, that is, by guessing password after password untill it works. Quote
Dav Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 the password lockout is a feature to prvent people tring to guss others passwords. Four hours isnt too long so i am affraid you will have to sit it out. If your new to ss this thread as a guide to make a new name for yourself. Quote
Yupa Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 it takes something like ,000 attempts (each giving AN ERROR MESSAGE) to be 'locked' out my advice: heed error messages Quote
ExplodyThingy Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 It takes like20. My bots have done it to me. Quote
