PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: 2FA NOW MANDATORY - YOU DON'T NEED A PHONE NUMBER FFS

[Ranselknulf]

It's the only thing I can think of.

I put in the 2FA code yesterday, and I had to put it in again today.

This might be a SHOCKING REVELATION but deleting posts is not supposed to fuck up threads.

Let's see here, option 1: fix whatever is wrong with Xenforo, name and shame the retard who got hacked.

Deleting a few posts doesn't mess anything up. Deleting thousands does. The XF devs are aware of the problem but in no rush to fix it because basically "you shouldn't do that anyway". Yeah.

Then the software it's not GDRP compliant and should be reported

There is no GDPR requirement to allow anyone to have all of their posts deleted. The site operator only needs to remove personally identifiable information on request from the account and/or specific posts if the poster points them out and can't edit them on their own, but is under no obligation to go deleting entire post histories of anyone. And even that only goes for EU-based services, which the Codex isn't.

If I want to delete my account because of "right to be forgotten" you will have to to check if my posts contain any data pertaining to my person, this unfeseable with users with tens of thousands of posts.

Only the Codex isn't EU-based, as I noted, so not under any obligation to do anything GDPR-related whatsoever, actually. It's purely a courtesy thing if we do.

Do you know of any other way to use a QR code reader than with a smart phone?

I think it's cookie-based. Might be browser plugins you are running.

For reference, I use Codex on Brave browser usually whilst connected to VPN and have never noticed this behaviour. The only notable addon I really run is uBlock Origin.

I request the administrators delete every instance of me saying the word "fag" or "faggot"

This information can be used to personally identify me because of how often I call people faggots.

I see, I block all cookies by default.

There's the tick for remembering you for 30 days, did you do it? And I wrote in the post that you quoted that blocking cookies will disrupt it.

That'll be the cause then I suspect. You might be able to selectively allow the 2fa 30-day cookie. I'm not sure how specific your cookie blocker allows you to be.

Probably not. I'll look into it soonish. Getting ready to gayme soon men.

you allow europeans on this site, you are indeed on the hook

 

[Taluntain]

Off-topic, but there are certain exceptions and limitations to extra-territorial GDPR effect that I believe the Codex qualifies for, but of course, this would be a legal issue and you can always get two lawyers who'll give you two conflicting opinions.

Against my protests, I was made the data protection officer at the organisation I work at.

There are a lot more exceptions and leeway than many seem to think. It's also very difficult to fall foul and actually get punished unless you do something really really stupid and try to cover it up.

GDPR definitely isn't the hammer that everyone online seems to think it is.

Funnily enough, the response I got from the ICO recently when I asked for advice on how to respond to a subject access request that I thought frivolous was, "tell them politely to piss off".

 

[Melcar]

I read it as extra-dimensional, and it makes sense.

it's a good thing we moved to xenforo 2 to avoid forum-breaking bugs and glitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Melcar]

The Codex has always been on Xenforo 2.

To be fair, given the options among the bri'ish, I'd run to Kazakh for the women as well.

I wish the guy who targeted me went around deleting all my posts. That could've been super useful.
