Of Course Gaia Staff does not have the ugly [MOD] word infront of their names. Those only goes to the [NPC] characters that DO NOT PM users and asking them for their password. Secondly, Gaia doesn't go around PMing people who have been reported for hacking. First of all, that would be stupid because it's like giving a heads up to the Hacker. So he can have time to escape with his stolen goods.
And "please message us as fast as you can with your account username and password..." is pretty stupid...why do you need it? All throughout Gaia and in the PMs, Gaia ask people not to give out your password...(but some people actually get tricked easily and ignore the big bolded warning signs).
Then there's that IP ban. Gaia doesn't do IP bans because IP bans...well I'll leave it at that. Plus, if they are Gaia Moderators why do they have Sincerely, Gaia Adminstrators at the end?
OH they made my night!
So remember guys...Gaia Online will never ask you for your password. Nor they need it to begin with. The only people that need the passwords are the people who wishes to steal your stuff.
If you're not sure just look at Complete List of Admins, Mods and Helpers.
And remember, Gaia staff have COLORS in their names not the ugly [MOD] word.
