They only work 99.9% of the time, so you could still get a red circle on it.

As an IT guy, I can say you don't necessarily need a secured site if you don't have bank account, or other personally identifiable information passing around, etc. But you do have usernames and passwords going over clear text, which could be a moderate risk. A secured site uses a SSL certificate to encrypt the traffic going between client and server, so someone couldn't just sniff out the data stream from another computer and easily read it and see your login info, and hack your OCC account and post dumb things.
