So in the account settings you will have a button saying “I have been hacked” and then it will “ban” you (it will say “Uh oh this user has been hacked” on their profile) and the account is unusable projects are uneditable (there will be a captcha and a conformation box). The “forgot password?” button will be changed to “forgot passwords or got hacked?” and the email will have a link to “self ban” users (there will be a captcha and a conformation box) AND you can send a message to the ST all in the same place. And a backup account option (like system restore in windows, just scratch)

Does this (“hacking”) happen that often? What if you hit it on accident?

I'm not sure why this should be public if regular bans are not public. This seems like it can spread fear to others — which is perfect for trollers who might “accidentally” hit the button.

Also, wouldn't this just be another fun thing for a hacker to do if they got into your account? It's one thing for them to, say, delete your projects and make some inappropriate comments. But with this feature, they could do all that and then lock access to your account (since, if they have access to your account, they could “self-ban” you).

I do agree with @ScolderCreations that hacking doesn't really happen all that often (if at all).

So what stops the hacker from pressing the button?

Instead of rendering the account unusable, make the account able to only make projects and look at projects.

This can cause fear to users, also, what if the person with the original account doesn't want to let the public know they have been hacked?
