[case]

Two and a half things:

1 -- you're probably already aware of things like this happening to comms all over LJ. If you notice this happening on F!S, just pm me and I'll delete posts/report to LJ abuse/whatever.

2 -- what do you guys think about this? Maybe at the start of each new week, same time as the new submission post at 12 AM Saturday EST (that's 5 AM Saturday GMT, 1 PM Saturday GMT+8)?

.5 -- and something sort of random but what kinds of memes would you like to see on F!S?

There's a very easy way to circumvent this. In the comms that I'm in that've been affected (shoebox_project and iheartmyroom), the hacker got in because the maintainer's email address on this was expired, and the hacker could use a back door to reactivate the account and gain control that way.

Since you're the sole maintainer, MAKE SURE that the email address attached to this comm - and your account - is up to date! (I'm basically just being really glad that my biggest comm is still small enough that no one would pay it any attention XD)

I've heard about that little trick. :/ Jeez, I didn't know people were starting to use it on active accounts. That's just nasty.

It doesn't matter if the email is up to date as long as the hacker can get into the very first email you joined lj with. It's a glaring hole in how lj handle accounts, but -_-

In that case, you should add a secret question (https://www.livejournal.com/set_secret.bml) for extra security.
