As far as I have heared this is an 0day "exploit" which does nothing but
trying to bruteforce some accounts like "admin" "test" and so on with
passwords like "test" "1234" and i dont know what. 
Seems to be not too serious because noone actually has those account in
real life. ;)

Best wishes,

Censorship is not what we're looking for.

I agree in parts, of course. And:
"unfettered posting of any shit that comes into a 14 year 
old's head at the moment." - hell, that was a funny one. 
Sad enough thats true also. 
But still, I personally wouldn't buy
that for the cost of censorship. Just my opinion.
Cutting out the "bad bits" and what the "bad bits" are depends
in some cases too much on the opinion of the moderator.

Best wishes,
Christian

I fully agree. ;) Thats still gonna be hard for some guys I guess...
I would suggest to close this discussion now, if you agree, because
it's a little bit "off-topic" and we dont wont to annoy anyone. ;)

To be honest: Yes, i think it is quite narrow-mindet to say that. 
Sure, there are some "scriptkiddies" and "crackers" who organize
themselves through internet relay chats.

But if you think you proposal right through to the end, you should also
consider abandoning almost every email-software, instant-messenger and the
like. Good luck with that. If you approach the problem this way, why not
cut through your network cable, which is the best way to protect yourself?
 

Best wishes,
Christian
