Removed. Maybe I just imagined it all maybe the security messages containing ips were just imagined.

Maybe I should have never said anything, then because no one can understand anything unless it happens to them anyway.

I always assumed that Randall could see these passwords.. so it's no news to me and I don't mind.

I mean often moderators can delete or edit posts you make... so what's the difference?
It's easier for them to do this if they know the passwords.

You really shouldn't have the same password here as you do on your email. That's common sense.

However, I would be very surprised if one of the moderators has breached someone's privacy and looked through their email. If this happened - I hope Randall de-mods them.

I strongly doubt that this is the only online forum - where the webmaster has access to the passwords.

Having been a moderator (though not at LL) I know a mod doesn't need passwords to edit or delete posts, and though I've helped moderate various types of boards (again, nothing like LL), the passwords were never available to mods.

And actually, when he says "webmaster" I assumed he meant whoever allows LL to be possible (that is, not a member, just sets it up so Randall can design it as he wishes), not Randall. While I can believe a webmaster who isn't a member could have such access, I'm going to be extremely skeptical if claiming Randall has this access, and downright dismissive of accusations that Randall would abuse that trust.

There are mods here other than Randall whom I'd be much more willing to believe inclined toward unethical behavior regarding that, but I just don't believe they have the opportunity. (Still, I'm glad it's a non-issue for me anyway.)

As a Mod of this Forum I can edit, close, or transfer topics.
I must be logged in to my account to do this.
I can not see anyone's e-mail addy or passwords,
so no dice Odette AND if that ever did happen Randall wouldn't stand for it.

our Webmaster is a man with integrity

Plus, most e-mail accounts warn the user if someone with a different ip logs into the account. Happened to me with Gmail and Yahoo (I was on vacation), haven't tried others.

Then I make this info out to be BS and I'm not the least bit interested in any other lies you care to invent.

One thing I cannot stand are those evil people like you who spread false rumors designed to get people to fight and stir up drama for fun, control, and revenge, and the gullible fools who allow themselves to be used for such evil designs (ok, I suppose some are just suffering severe mental illness thus not fully responsible for their actions, but they still need to be identified and treated accordingly). Sociopaths like you have harmed far too many innocent people in their lives and at its worse allows things like that Satanic Panics (which are ultimately rumor panics, just like you're trying to provoke here) that destroyed families, incarcerated the innocent, and traumatized children because too many people are gullible enough to swallow any BS you people care to offer. People like you are more than just nuisances, you're potential menaces to society.

By the way, I'm not believing you're actually Sun Child's husband or have anything to do with her, not until she says otherwise.

You created this account back in Nov 2010, never posted until now, either you must have a superb memory to remember your password and username or you are someone who posts in this forum a lot. Why would SunChild tell her husband who has never posted anything since creating his account to post this?

Does anybody know since when did we need to use at least one uppercase letter in the password for Yahoo e-mail accounts?

you sound butt hurt to me op..

Trying to ruining the web masters reputation is a low blow...
No one really cares what happened between you two..

Even if this is true, anyone could of hacked into your email, Randall puts a lot of effort into maintaining LL, he seems like an honest guy to me. He does not have a motive.

Alright forget it, people aren't really understanding what I'm saying anyway.

As long as he knows that I know, good enough.
Carry on. Forget I ever said anything.

Mods do not have access to Passwords or email accounts. I, myself, can look up a User's email account, but I don't have access to Passwords, although I do get to see them once you first sign up. So, no one has to change your Passwords unless you want to.
