And your account name? You don't need a number for that. Anyways, I know for a fact that MS password and accounts do not have any requirements on mix of different characters and such, so I'm not inclined to believe that their GameGuard will block your password and account in the method you described.

My point exactly. No need for all these extra security, people who will get scammed will get scammed, and they will hopefully learn their lesson and won't get scammed next time. People who won't get scammed simply won't.

The number thing is about DR not MS.

.....

I KNOW. I said that MS doesn't have a password number restriction and THEREFORE I find it hard to believe they block your password and account, because if you happen to have an account/password that is frequently used on conversation you're handicapped. Besides, DR's Account does not require numbers, so if your account name is "Sally", then you'll going to have problems.

There is the choice of Sa11y. (it's with 1's) It's hard to tell from Sally (with L's). Uh It's with one's as in numero uno, on the number pad. Looks the same though... Or u could try Sa!!y.

And you realise if people see you doing that, they might assume correctly you cannot say it because... it is *gasp* your account name? So much for security.
