Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

First off:
DON'T EVER GIVE AWAY YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE! EVER!
It has recently come to our attention that there’s a lot of phishing going on. What’s phishing you ask? Simply put, someone tries to gain your trust to steal your sensitive information. In the case of Everybody Edits, people are pretending to be (secret) admins/mods and use some excuse to ask for your password. For example:
If you give away your password, they will steal your account and abuse it. So don’t do it! The staff will never, ever, ask for your passwords, so don’t give them out to anyone! Only on rare occasions will the staff ask for account information, such as an email address or time/proof of account purchases.
These are people trying to “hack” you. If someone sends you a PM like this, report them using the /report command with a link to the PM chat history. For anyone attempting this, this is a serious offence, you will be IP banned if you attempt this, and possibly have all your accounts deleted.
Also, there is no such thing as secret mods, so don’t listen to anyone saying they are. If you’re in doubt whether you’re talking to a staff member, the staff members’ name in-game will be yellow/gold or purple. Also, the list of staff members can be found here: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=28424
Let's reiterate just in case you missed it:
DO NOT, FOR ANY REASON, GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO SOMEBODY ELSE. DO NOT EVEN GIVE IT TO THE EVERYBODY EDITS STAFF.
IF YOU ARE CAUGHT TRYING TO PHISH ANOTHER PERSON'S ACCOUNT, YOU WILL BE IP BANNED.
See you in the world,
EE Staff

Finally, a message for all the phishers. I just banned all the phishers of my worlds.

When I see phishers I usually tell them my password is howdumbdoyouthnikiamyouidiot.

I was with you all the way up to here:
If someone sends you a PM like this, report them using the /report command with a link to the PM chat history.
How many nubs are going to know how to do that? Why not have a checkbox or popup dialog where you can actually fill out your report? You could have a checkbox to automagically include a copy of their chat log with the report. EE needs to move further away from commands.

EDIT: So apparently only PMs are not logged, but the actual chat is. This still needs to be changed ASAP.

I thought I remembered you guys mentioning that the reports included a log of the chat... mhh...
Also when I saw the blog post in my email I seriously thought it was the hype update.

It appears that once we made the warning against this, many other people it would be funny to do it themselves.
Whether you are doing it as a joke, or not... you will be banned. We will not hesitate to ban your IP, and delete your account if need-be. This is a very serious issue, and it's an extreme annoyance.
As for everyone else, thank you for sending in the reports. Please continue to report anyone doing this. However, be careful sending in reports that are fake. Doing so could backfire and get you banned.

And that "hardwise" isn't even banned. Good job everybody edits, good job!
We're banning everyone doing it after the blog post. Not fair to change the rules during the game is it?
Good job trying to be cool with your criticism, Vitalijus, good job.
No u.

the blog post
Please... Nobody gets time to read the blog when there is a forum around and there is already enough to read in there. I say you should post it in the forums first, or at least after you blog post.

It was posted on both, and the blog post appears on the everybodyedits.com website.
Your point is invalid.

Consider configuring the client/serverside to send a chat log with the report details - it's easier in the long run and will should prevent fake reports.
One bot to rule them all, one bot to find them. One bot to bring them all... and with this cliché blind them.

Ahh, this topic reminded me an user called ybowsery who tried to make me think he was a secret guardian. This happened long time ago, when MrShoe still was the owner of the world (or it was maybe MrVoid?) and when magic was still alive. Here´s the image:
