Scammers and hackers basically fall into two categories: Complete Idiot, or Super Clever. But you and I know very well that most (or all) of them fall into the second category.

Complete Idiots? It refers to the scammers or hackers who, wanting to get money or passwords, use only one account (the scammers' or hackers') to get what they want. Of course, they will get reported and will be banished, whatever money they had acquired will be gone.

Well, Super Clever means, erm, scammers/hackers who are more clever than those above-mentioned people, anyway. They create multiple accounts with maybe one central account or more. Using one of the multiple accounts, they ask for passwords and "hack". If they want money, they will transfer from the hacked account to the multiple account then to the central account, or, if easier, from the hacked account to the central account. Even if the multiple account is banished, the account with the most money will not be.

It also brings me to a point. Let's just say, all of the accounts are banished, they can still make a "comeback" by creating more accounts, and will continue their, erm, hacking/scamming business. So, Whyville will never be completely safe, unless you just don't give out your password, and the scammers/hackers will be, well, bored, in a sense.

If you think that everyone is much prettier/handsome than you, instead of complaining, live n' learn! Do you think all of those people asked other people to help? No, you have to learn how to do it yourself (DIY, LoL). Also, Whyville is a science site -- you learn science by playing the games, not by asking people to help you play games!

Okay, I'm sprouting nonsense here... this is faerie101, by the way.
