Forum:Facebook fanpage taken down

Apparently, one of the other fanpage admins' accounts has been hacked and started sending out harmful links as the page, at which point the entire page has been taken down by Facebook. I am looking into the issue and trying to have Facebook restore it (possibly with just me as the admin for now). Ausir 01:36, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

That was a regrettable turn of events. veryblackraven 10:51, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Sadly, a lot of people use incredibly shitty passwords. To make things worse, a lot of website administrators and software developers don't require qualities that make strong passwords on their websites, or enable the ability to implement password requirements on websites that use their software.  As users of MediaWiki, I think we're all aware of this.
 * The problem that a lot of people run into is that they arrogantly assume that no one will want to hack them, or they just use incredibly simple passwords. There are websites that will tell you how long it takes to hack a password.  Nearly all of the ones that people use are vulnerable.  Passwords should be like codenames for operations; they should never have any relation to personal interests.


 * This really sucks. I propose that the person who was hacked never be given adminship again.  I doubt that Facebook will recreate the page.  It's probably been completely deleted, and anyway, Facebook never responds to stuff like this.

It seems like Ausir created a new Facebook page. So do your job and like it. :) BTW, maybe we should write about this situation in Wiki news. veryblackraven 15:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I did it. It's posted on NMa, the official BGS forums and elsewhere. :)
 * Great, thanks! veryblackraven 16:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
