The reason I caught it so quick though is at the moment I'm trying to get an initiative off of the ground to help newcomers to the platform. It's only 24 hours old and those who are working with me on it and myself have a long road ahead of us to really get it to take off. As it's all centered on promoting and guiding new users I watch my feed quite closely to provide help if needed. Speaking of which, have you managed to secure your account keys? There are hackers on the platform sadly and if you don't secure your keys then every time you post someone could potentially sack your account. In the early days I used to spend a lot of time trying to track and catch people doing it and it's amazing how quickly it can happen. If you need step by step instructions on account security then shout me and I can walk you through it.
