You can't really "accidently" sign up, the whole process takes like five clicks through pages and a paypal password and a lot of other things. There's no way you can sign up and promise to pay, you have to pay when you sign up, so if you have no money there's no way to get a paid account or even start the process.

Spammers send thousands of paypal fraud e-mails every day in an attempt to get people's passwords. If you just got a general "thank you for your payment" that had nothing to do with advicenators, then trust me, it had nothing to do with advicenators. Forward it to me if you're not sure.

Our "official" thank-you e-mail subject has your username and says "[yourname]: Advicenators account upgraded". People can buy paid accounts for other members, so maybe that happened for you, but either way you have nothing to worry about.

Ohhh, okay thanks.

This advice column is for suggestions, comments, or error reporting about advicenators. If you'd like to suggest a new category, ask me a question. If you'd like to whine, bitch, or complain about advicenators, you may whine, bitch, or complain to me.

Three rules though:
1) Do not ask me for life advice. We have several thousand other members that do that.

2) Do not ask for help, or ask how to do something, or ask about
how something on the site works, unless you've read every word of our help pages and you're sure it's not addressed there.

3) Do not ask me to ban someone or investigate abuse. We have an entire abuse system set up for that.

If you disobey one of these rules, I'll delete your question.

Some guidelines about suggestions:
If you offer a suggestion that I find interesting, I might just ignore your question so it stays in my inbox as a reminder of something to do. Don't be upset that I don't answer you, and don't delete your questions (because then I'll forget!)

If you have three suggestions, please ask three separate questions, that way I can address each one individually. It's a real pain when people ask one question with like twenty different topics in it; I can't keep them straight.
