| Apr 26, 2011 at 11:09 | comment | added | Andreas Bonini | Sorry but -1. What's the likelihood a high rep account is compromised? Are you aware of a single high rep account that has been compromised in the entire history of stack overflow? Do you think this close-to-0 chance is worth inconveniencing thousands of users who are donating their time to improve the website? It's like advising everyone to always go out with a bucket of water just in case a lightning strikes you and sets you on fire. Sure, if you are hit by a lightning it'll be useful, but you can't just ignore the fact that walking with a bucket of water is just plain annoying. | |

Well, I can't say no to your point. But, I think our community is powerful enough to handle anyone who tries to rogue on us.
