Yep that's the best way - a number of people did that. It notifies all moderators about it, so it ensures the fastest reaction from somebody who's available (the big secret is that we aren't really on srp 24/7 and seeing everything just faking it and you can help us maintaining that illusion and look like we're superheroes )

These have usually been usually from China not from USA, but lately we have also had increased trolling from well known entities, so it is possible it's the latest campaign against us.

As long as people use passwords that are hard for others to guess within few tries their accounts are secure.

Also all passwords are stored in strongly encrypted form, so there is no way for anybody to obtain a password from SRP.

I got it & forwarded it to a mod & I then deleted it. I didn't even click on the link or open it because I knew it was a bunch of BS!!! Apparently it's some jackass that has nothing better to do with his/her time that they think this is what they call fun to them or it is a bot like what was mentioned but still it's really childish BS!!!!!!!! I just don't get it.......................
I have much better things to do with my time like hone a razor or make some scales or similar.

Well I wasn't sure who or what it was about. Just saw this thread. I did open it but closed it as soon as I read the first line. Low life trolls

Ya got that right! As soon as I saw it I knew it was some scummy BS, so I didn't open it. Instead, I forwarded it to Gugi. I did not know it had already been going on until I got it. I deleted it so I hope there is no more.
