The member uses IP 81.178.111.243, today, Saturday, September 19th, time, 8:02 GMT+2 tried to login with my account. After failing to find the password, 5 times, an email was sent to me describing:
Dear Ash_Pokemaster,

Your account on The PokéCommunity Forums has been locked because someone has
tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You
will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address:
81.178.111.243

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use
the link below:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/login.php?do=lostpw

All the best,
The PokéCommunity Forums

Shortly after this, emails about me reseting my passworld, obviously from the same person, started being sent to my inbox. Counting 23 emails in total and still receiving unstoppable (with a stop when the forum was down temporary), I would like you to warn this member about not doing this again and inform me about their account on the forum if possible. Sorry if this thread is not suitable to be made here, but filling up my inbox is not the best thing, and I would not like to put PokeCommunity mails into the junk folder.

Thanks in Advance

Edit: The number of the messages has now reached more than 100 ones. Please act as quick as possible.

Well sounds like we have another wannabe hacker, or you now have a fan girl of your very own! Congrats!

Well the most you can do it make your password a word with numbers, or at least change it, cause that person must've had an idea about what your password was, or they wouldnt of even tried. But what do I know? Im a lowley member with and IQ nothing... XD

Nope, he/she didn't now and will never now my password :P The only sure thing is that some people are enough jerks to enjoy annoying the others...

Admins can IP ban people... (Well, on other VB forums they can... Not sure if it's a universal thing or not.) Ask and admin to do so.

Yes, its a feature built into core vB. Although theres still the use of proxies, etc.

Well, it seems that he/she stopped sending mails for me to reset the password :P I hope there won't be continued today though xD Thanks everyone for your time!

It's probably because I performed an IP ban earlier today.
