Related to this, I'd also like to see a screen with View Sent Mail, just like the View Read Mail; so that you could see what was sent, and where it went.

I agree and disagree.
Almost always, people's accounts getting hacked is their fault. They friend someone they didn't know they could trust, accepted a free Webkinz code, gave away their password, etc. It is their fault for making this mistake. Now, sometimes, you will log in and see some items gone. Someone could have gotten your username and guessed your password until they got it right.
BUT....
I think this is a good idea to prevent most hacking cases.
Also, a "view sent mail" thing would be a useful addition. [:
Great idea!!!

That would be nice, but people would be thinking up ALL kinds of fake reasons to take back items. And it would take a lot for the programming to detect if it was willingly or hacked send, and to pull the item from your house and send it back. And what if you had two of the item, but one of them was traded away and one you keep? And all of a sudden, the person who traded you that item [the first one] takes it away? How would you feel?
I think that wouldn't be the best option. [^ quoted post]

I totally agree with your idea and pikachukick900 too. LOL I never got hacked before, but it sounds terrible. I also think there should be a send back mail option. Once I was trying send something to one of my bff's and I accidently clicked the wrong person. LOL I never got that item back but, I wish they had that option.
Re: **IMPORTANT**: An Idea for GANZ. A WAY TO help avoid HACKS! PLEASE LOOK.
I know how you feel, the same exact thing happened to me. "Friend" gave me a code and used it against me. Lost my R & G Gem Tree. But I SUPPORT YOUR IDEA!!! =D

Most of you have gotten hacked, in May sometime I got a horrible hack. It was from a girl that I knew, she "gave" me a Webkinz and then used the secret code over &over against me. I had Wacky Jeans on that account and everything. Now, all of its gone.
But to get to the point to avoid this I think we should have an option where you can put a password on the KinzPost. Since, thats how everyone hacks you.
This would be a great way to block hacks, because there shouldn't be an option where you can put in a secret code. I also think that maybe they should have one like this when you go into the trading room (as an option, because it could get annoying but for someone like me whose just waiting for the next hack day to come this would be VERY useful) .
So what do you guys think ? Do you think it'll happen ? I'm just hoping &praying that [notranslate]GANZ[/notranslate] agrees. That way I won't have to count the days my account isn't hacked. She can hack it at any time. :/ Luckily I got to change my username but if someone tells her my username POOF goes my account. They only gave me one username change (at least thats what they said on the phone). So ... please let me know what you think guys ! I hope you agree &I hope someone from [notranslate]GANZ[/notranslate] is looking at this.
This would help so many people who want to quit Webkinz &give up like me .

OMG! i actually suggested that to [notranslate]GANZ[/notranslate] a while ago like in april. that's so funny that we had the same idea! i'm not mad though. great minds think alike
Re: **IMPORTANT**: An Idea for GANZ. A WAY TO help avoid HACKS! PLEASE LOOK.
I'm soo sorry that this happened, to you , and to everyone who has gotten hacked. It's very upsetting that there are people in this world who will hack into a little kid's account, steal their stuff, and leave. And even if the owner of the account was not a kid, it is still upsetting.
Scammers are also upsetting to hear about. Maybe [notranslate]Ganz[/notranslate] can make a setting for parents that will send them an email every time their kid trades, sends mail, and accepts a friend.
Re: **IMPORTANT**: An Idea for GANZ. A WAY TO help avoid HACKS! PLEASE LOOK.
That is an amazing idea. I give it 2 thumbs up!That idea would come in handy at the trading room.I think [notranslate]ganz[/notranslate] should have better security and prevent thins kind of thing. Don't you agree?
