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'm getting this error, and my password is pretty damn good. I used to work IT. I know how to make passwords, and my password conforms to all the things they say it should. So...yeah. Whatev.

Glad to hear the message is a bug.

Edit: Also, my current password does contain a symbol, so I don't know what the fuck they're smoking saying it can't, now.
