Thats another reason that its good to have email validation on, that way you can be sure that it is the person that they say they are when there from IF. They 9/10 times use there IF email for official things.

Sometimes people use redirection thingies to pose as us so even with it on they can cover their own e-mail and look like staff. :/

The only real way of knowing it's us is by contacting us via this forum or if you ban DuffMan. If it's really him, he'll unban himself apparantly. Go him. :wub:

Not me. Though I do make it clear its me and tell the person to pm me on IF Support for confirmation since I can't touch tickets. ^_^

I saw Lothy go to a forum with a post about Copyrights.

If you aren't usre it's Duff himself, ban him. He can always ban you here auntil you unban him unban himself then ban you.

XD More of this I think people should be told this right when they make thier boards that no one from invision free will contact them through anyway other than correct channels and that these things can be checked via support ticket. But this also leadss to what you guys to to people who impersonate say Duffman do you like ban them from the server or what.

It tells you this right on the front page of the ACP. :ermm:

Do not give admin access to anyone claiming to be an InvisionFree staff member. The only time you should is if they ask for it via the Support board. Following these instructions will protect your board from someone trying to gain access.


It could only be clearer if it was in gigantic red text[/color]. Perhaps it could be placed at the bottom of an e-mail sent out when you register your board but I'm willing to bet it would do little really. :/

Perhaps having bold, red text in the ACP to make it stand out more would be a good idea.

An obnoxious flashing effect would also be attention grabbing.
