You're really not helping your case...

Yeah. Sounds like a load of horse hockey to me.

i tried posting but it didn't seem to take. so sorry if there are double posts. here goes again.


Password wise, there is a way that is much more successful than complex (cr33perb0om2012) passwords that has been proven to even give password hacking tools a run for their money.

Take 4 words together that have no relation to themselves other than you knowing how they tie together. The link below has the funny imagine that explains this. I use this method now and I've had a lot less issues.

also, keep in mind that if he gets creative about it, he could put a keylogger on your system and would have your password within no time. Make sure that you have virus protection installed. There are free apps like avast! and AVG, which I use. Also also, you need to make sure that if you have your own computer, that it has a password. otherwise, he can get in and install said keylogger. basically double password protection via windows login password being different from your MC password.

Lastly, if he knows your email account password, he can get in and request a password reset from the minecraft.net website. so you need to make that email password follow the same guidelines in the link above..

Let's recap:

1) get some free virus software on your pc, if you truly have your own. (to keep keeploggers out)
2) change your email, minecraft, and windows passwords to 3 different passwords..
3) use the password method I mentioned as it's almost impossible for hacking tools to get.

when you use four words that you know the combined meaning of but others wouldn't, you make it very unlikely that they will get it.

Hope this helps.

I highly doubt that this guy is actually desperate enough to do something like install a virus on his brother's computer, and if he is, i dont think all this complex anti-virus software is really important. All you've gotta do is create a password that you'll remember and that others won't think of. Use tricks such as putting in numbers you'll remember and capital letters at certain points in the password, it's not that complicated.

That's good! Anyways why would your brother do that in the first place?

Argoney, the spawn was griefed and i hawkeyed it and it was you. I have a feeling it was your account that took out n1ghts store too. Whether it was you or your brother i wasn't sure what else to do but ban you so it doesn't happen again.

EDIT: New town has also been seriously griefed by you. Most of the buildings are destroyed and even the airships been griefed. Honestly i have a hard time believing all this little brother stuff.

EDIT EDIT: My stores also been really griefed by you. OH YOU BE SRSLY BANNED SON

I've fixed some stuff but it's way too much. I leave to california today for like a week and i don't have time to fix everything so another OP needs to handle this.

rolled argoney back 2 weeks, account is banned

rolled argoney back 2 weeks, account is banned

Thanks all for taking care of that! I was trying to see who took out N1ght's store, but I am not proficient enough with Hawkeye yet.

Well, I don't put anything past the younger generation. They are intelligent and have access to way more knowledge (within a single google search) than we did when we were young. Everything mentioned still stands and the link/instructions were for everyone, not just the OP. I would dare say that this type of information would make a good sticky for account security.

[Argoney]

You may want to check N1ght's store, because I promise I dien't do that one. Also, expect Team Stryker very soon...

[Emwok]

Whats that?????

[ccgr]

sounds like a confession and a threat to me

[Emwok]

Uh oh. 8-l
