Re: Petition-SE's lackluster actions towards stolen accounts

In case anyone is still confused:
1. Your computer, your account info, your responsibility. It's your fault if you let your account info get stolen.
2. If you're the real account owner, with all the info originally provided to S-E, then, yes, S-E missed up by not coming up with a way to get your account back after you've lost it.

The customer survey is the best way to let S-E know that #2 is a big concern to the player base. S-E plans on reading the survey, take advantage of it. (I did.)

Point #1 is NOT S-E's problem--it's the players responsibility.

The petition mentioned in OP is redundant at best, and most likely worthless.
According to the ToS, the chars issued by SE is their property, we pay for the service of using them; a priviledge at best, I don't see why they should not be concerned with who has them if they do not endorse RMT and the selling/buying of player characters.

The Customer survey has done what? It's probrably the best way of keeping responses to a mininum and implying generalization of "the problem is on the user end." Why make a survey for a company's prowess(in lack of a better word) when it's slanted twoard examining the user base(this is the skewing i'm talking about), especially the GM policy.

I've completed the survey under 600 characters doesn't even constitute a decent 3 paragraph essay and definitely not a 5 paragraph one concerning GM policy. Another is 1000characters, not words; that still doesn't constitute a strong criticism for or against.I'm sure anyone can say that there are a lot of kinks in our system that cannot be covered by just 2 or so paragraphs.

If it's the player's responsibility in full then we should own the chars as a result; however, we do not own them so SE should be involved. Pushing for involvement may result in change, albeit low but possible. It generates more attention than doing nothing. #2 is the point of the poll, so SE messed then what? It stays messed up?

You always have a chance to be hacked regardless of what you use, there is no zero possibility in using so and so software. If it's made by a flawed creature the product itself is bound to have its own flaws; some are better than others sure, but everything can be broken by a certain means.

Is Firefox supposed to be some sort of shield all for us? It's more of a helmet for not-so-computer-savvy; it protects you against one thing, but can leave you open to another.

by the way, the above not including the quote is not allowed under the 600 characters nor the 1000 characters by the survey along with the arguments for and against the petition because it exceeds it; how come there isn't more space for addressing issues by a company or even praising them?
