You don't even know what you don't know.Why do you have such a hardon for 2FA anyway?
I meant to say that this is no longer the only forum that allows this amount of freedom of speech. There is competition now.FUCK YOU, NIGGER.
Hmm, seems okay to me.

Nobody said that you are responsible for it. The question was why you are such a cheerleader for this 2FA nonsense.I had nothing to do with the decision to force 2FA, it was Taluntain's call.
And those people are probably all 65+ years old.Many people have been screwed like this
Interesting re-wording on your part but I'll answer nonetheless:The question was why you are such a cheerleader for this 2FA nonsense.
A very common bit of malware going around right now poses as legit software downloads, and even gets promoted as the first result (as an ad) on many google searches.
So if you googled something like 'obs download', the first result will be some ad that looks like a legit OBS download, and the page is completely spoofed.
And if you download the package there, you in fact do get OBS with it, but it also deploys its malware payload before it launches the original OBS installer.
This specific malware then collects everything it can, chief among them your browser's session tokens, which allows a bad actor to take over all your accounts without having to bother with 2FA or even passwords.
Many people have been screwed like this, and it's why there is such a massive proliferation of crypto scams, even on people that have bought into 2FA 'protections'.
No other forum allows you to say FUCK YOU, NIGGER and get away with it, does it?No other forum requires 2FA
Checkmate.

Because 2FA is easy to use (in my opinion), it's secure (in my opinion), it's going to prevent this kind of shit show from happening again (in my opinion) and Satan himself isn't sitting there waiting to capture my soul by enabling the use of a simple app or just a secondary email to allow me to sit here and spam useless shit on an obscure computer roleplaying game website all day (in my opinion).
Anyone making a big deal out of this is the same kind of person who will refuse to attend a public sporting event because of the agreement they enter into that's printed on the back of their ticket.
NO WAY, BRO. I'M NOT AGREEING TO THIS.
A few months ago DU made it clear that he would have no problem if this forum became a place where only a few posts a week were made. In fact, that may be his desired goal.No other forum requires 2FA and it damages the forum by forcing people to jump through this hoop.
This cannot seriously be more than a temporary measure, DarkUnderlord. Don't really see much lulz coming from this either.
I'm acknowledging that I personally may not have enforced its use, but I can certainly understand from the administration's point of view that by doing so we're saving ourselves hours of cleanup work.So you're acknowledging that the 2FA is pointless here and nothing but a trivial inconvenience.
Care to explain how?If someone's password on this site gets compromised, the likelihood is that everything else is compromised on whatever device they used, including their 2FA email.
It's only one solution. You have your choice of apps to use or you can use an alternate email address.Only way to get around that is to have a secure phone connect.
I suppose you're right but if their phone is getting compromised somehow then they've got a lot more problems than having their RPG Codex posts deleted.such a person who does that is dumb enough to get that phone compromised too
Okay, you caught us. I guess it's time to shut it down. Shut it down now.This whole thing seems like a glownigger datamining op to connect people's phones to their shitposting history
"hours" is an overstatement. Your moderation tools can't be that complex. Probably more like minutes.I'm acknowledging that I personally may not have enforced its use, but I can certainly understand from the administration's point of view that by doing so we're saving ourselves hours of cleanup work.So you're acknowledging that the 2FA is pointless here and nothing but a trivial inconvenience.
Keyloggers are some of the most common ways accounts are compromised. If your codex password is compromised via a keylogger, the email password is probably also compromised.Care to explain how?If someone's password on this site gets compromised, the likelihood is that everything else is compromised on whatever device they used, including their 2FA email.
See my edit above.Probably more like minutes.

Has anyone ever told you you're like a broken record?
Oops, I forgot you're a Loonix user.
It's kinda hard to check up on edits while having to delete cookies to avoid the redirect. I really wish it would be turned off so I didn't have to do that just to browse the forum while being logged on. However,See my edit above.Probably more like minutes.
Nothing of value would have been lost. You can find bear v. pig webms that sum up some of the battles. So it's not like you need an actual thread for it.Edit: Let me correct this. Until (and only until) Twiglard discovered and made use of the PAID add-on to Xenforo that Taluntain splurged on there would have been hours of cleanup work. Actually, I think the problem was so bad that certain threads such as the Ukraine one would never have been able to be made whole again. However, as it is, after utilizing that paid add-on, it only took Twiglard a few minutes to undelete everything. Just wanted to make that clear.
