Safety Quest: †hë n£Wß|ë tÖµ® Þˆ¡†।ön

- When someone first joins Gaia, they have an option to eventually go on a tour. While it teaches users some things to remember about navigation and how to work it, I believe it should have something about passwords too. Like, tell the newbies that if they ever got a PM from a gray-named user or ANY member of Gaia asking for a Password, it's a scam. And, with that, maybe a screenshot of what a scam looks like.
The part of the tour could also explain the username color chart, also explaining that no matter the color, Gaia will NEVER ask someone for their password, and if they do, to report it to a mod right away and give out no information as such. Just a quick and friendly way to teach the newbies how to be safe, perhaps?
I know, I know. "Who would want to hack newbies?" Well, yeah, that kinda thing isn't seen often. But in the long run it could be a good thing to remember. My friend who I invited to Gaia has been on quite a while and was freaking out when I told him he fell for a password scam. ;/ This will hopefully reduce the password scams as long as the users stay responsible and don't just scroll through it.
Who's with me? Say "I AM! domokun "
