The purpose of the password system on chiefdelphi.com is an attempt to prevent what happened on the chat server the Rambots are running. Improper language, and poor sportsmanship (trash talking ) will not be tolerated and cannot be allowed.
We experienced the same problem three years ago. That is why we went to the password file style entry. This system does not stop problems but is an attempt at preventive maintenance. We can link a message to the sender and take appropriate action if warranted.
All password files are encoded such that we cannot know who voted for what. Only that you have voted.
This is why when you forget your password Brandon ( my son ) cannot tell you what it was. You only can make a new one. He can get a report of encoded passwords that are not being used in a specified length of time and delete them.
Besides all of us know what we think our robot will do and what it actually does are sometimes two different things. The best method of scouting is to watch the robot in action.
You do not have to be paranoid here. Now your phone thats a different story.
