**Also posted in Meta but sharing here too. Even if it helps one person it’s worth it**

How exactly was he hacked? Even I myself shows publicly my email address, yet encountered no issues of hacking nor anything so far. Maybe he had entered it in a website where they had data breach, or his password wasn't that kinda strong. There can be alot of prevention that can be done by BitcoinGirl.Club in his ends.

I guess this kind of thread and other thread that are helpful and must be pinned here in Beginners and Help board. Suggesting such actions isn't that kind of helpful if and only if the other newbies preferred nor haven't read issues with regards to hacking accounts even from a simple email. With regards to that, I also see the following as a good suggestion to the forum itself:

Limiting the Newbie's capability to reply on certain thread. How? They could only see pinned posts for approximately 3 to 5 days (depending on the forum management) upon their registration. Hence, all of necessary rules, regulations, and reminders would and must be read by the newbies before they can have the rights to reply on threads.

ADVANTAGE/s: issues with regards to users (even older ones), that they either plagiarize, spam, burstpost, necro-bump, and any other violations that they aren't aware of, would be lessen. Chances of such prohibited activities might be eradicated once the rule would be implemented. Hence, any other issues such as the hacking matter indicated by the OP would be avoided. This would also make build a better community as this forum grows around the world.
DISADVANTAGE/s: They need to spend days before making use of their account, and I think there's nothing more, nothing less.

Some might find this an awful suggestion, but with increasing cases of spamming, burst-posting, scamming, necro-bumping, and any other prohibited actions, then I guess we must start from the basics, by reading necessary threads such as rules and regulations and reminders for a safer account and environment.

If requested to transfer this to meta as another thread, I would be delighted to do so.
