From another threadAre these keys unique to a session and or user? Is there a risk to posting these keys? Can SOE look at one of these keys and figure out who they were sent to?DecodePacket(): FOUND KEY: 0x2c96[...]
Decrypting and dispatching with key: 0x2c96[...]

you get a new key every time you zone.

So do you (or others) think that there is a risk of SOE tracking what keys are sent to what users and then watching the SEQ (or other) forums for people posting such keys? Post a key, get banned.
There is probably not a ROI for this, but it would be technically simple. It would only take a search of the database or a grep on the log files.
The keys are random, with certain restrictions. They probably generate the same key atleast a few times a month, but they could generate the same key 5 times in a day, just depending on their algorithm. It would be a crapshoot at best for them to ban people this way.

Also SOE checks these boards to see who asks dumb questions.
Actually, sometimes I think we SHOULD post IP's for just that reason.
Ok, I confess, I mostly posted that last comment because I was having fun with the options I just noticed in the user profile.
