Hey there, as I am sure some of you've noticed, there's been some "Dating" spam posts that show up here & there.

Researcher uncovers one of the biggest password dumps in recent history
Now there's no need to panic as this doesn't affect PlayerSquared & no PlayerSquared accounts have been compromised. With that being said I know people tend to reuse passwords that have been compromised elsewhere which the spammers then find & use to spam any forum they can find. Below you'll find a list of general tips on how to set a strong password.
• Never use personal information such as your name, birthday, user name, or email address.
• Your password should be at least six characters long.
• Include both uppercase & lowercase letters, numbers & symbols if possible.
• Don't reuse passwords. Again this is exactly what spammers are looking for.
Lastly for extra protection you can enable two-step verification here Password & security.
