Someone explain why this isn't actively stupid?

Making my previous post, I was met with this after posting:

"Your password cannot contain symbols such as @,_, (),etc. Your password is too easy to guess. It's recommended that you change it, otherwise you risk having your journal hijacked."

So... LJ wants me to back off to a purely alphanumeric password because my... symbol-containing password is too easy to guess?

What are you people, fucking idiots?

I have a purely alphanumeric password and I'm getting the same message. I think it went into effect at the same time the new friends layout did. Which is also a big fat fail.
