Ok folks,the biggest reason for the "deactivated account" syndrome is about security issues. No big surprise there considering how lax to little there is for eccie. It got me thinking about a question I should have asked a long time ago - Why are the MODS volunteers? Eccie makes a lot of money and should be a to pay a staff,upgrades to the systems,tighter internet security and privacy. Count how many advertising banners there are alone,and thats a good chunk of change. So again why are the MODS volunteers? Eccie is no longer some start-up site, and yet we bitch about the MODS B.S. only for others to pipe in of the lame excuse of "they have a life and are volunteers ". Well most of them don't moderate at all,and secondly eccie can't pay a staff? This how bad it's been about the MODS and their "volunteer work" 1)for the ladies powder room this is the saying "if you want something to be known fast, post it in the ladies room". Trust me I've lived it. Miss V still holds a grudge with me over an incendent from a couple years ago from it. 2)the mods can and do read your pms. This is a well known fact that's suppose to be secret, but if you've been around ling enough someone will fill you in on the secret that not a secret. Account hacking for eccie is no joke matter because it's done all the time and it's a major issue for hobbyist and providers alike. So is eccie so poor that it can't pay a staff, and if so why are we all here? Just me 2 cents on #1 reason for "deactivated account" syndrome . Hope there are some good guesses for reason #2 of "deactivated account" syndrome.
