What two of our members realized, after exchanging a batch of links, is that they could log on as each other with those IDs. It was amusing, however potentially a problem.
We have enough of a problem with people hiding their identity under multiple clones. What if a troublemaker wanted to masquerade himself as someone else? Not good. When doing a quick copy/paste of an already long URL, it is easy to overlook a few more digits at the end.
Like any ID, it is best not to share it with the world. Thanks PunkClown for catching that.
