Thats better but you should include at least one 'its not like I like this place or anything like that'. Bonus points if you include at least one 'baka' in your comment.

I can understand this dude. Your retarded mandatory 2fa and face control are totally ridicuolous. If only your face control was to prevent bot spamming but its not. You simply delete messages you do not like and thus trying to keep people you do not want here out of here. This is reddit.
Maybe it's in public interest to answer this.

2fa is here to prevent a script kiddie from taking over accounts of posters who used the same password on another account on a different site, one which then had a password database leak. We've had 3 old-timer posters get their all posts deleted through a script ran by said script kiddie. It was a bitch restoring them with XenForo 2.

Posts are very rarely deleted. First, posts of people with less than 5 posts require manual approval. Second, retarded posts go to a special forum section that anyone with an account that's at least one-year old can read at their leisure.

2FA is there because you are too incompetent to implement any kind of script protection to prevent "script kiddies" from ruining your life.

No, you can't implement any protection. Everything that's doable by the user is doable through a script. Even captchas are solvable with AI now, but I digress.

These scripts are frequently userscripts that simulate clicks within a real browser environment.

There's no fucking cookie theft.
Cookie theft is a real thing.


This is fucking bullshit.
  1. Alt-tab to Thunderbird.
  2. Click on the 'rpgcodex' folder.
  3. Click on the last message.
  4. Double-click on the digits.
  5. Press Ctrl+C.
  6. Alt-tab back to Firefox/Chrome.
  7. Click on the form's box.
  8. Press Ctrl+V to insert the digits.

It takes less than fucking 30 seconds.

Sure, but you can implement a timeout. Normal users don't delete or edit hundreds of posts in a short time. That at least would only inconvenience those people.

There is also requiring 2FA via an email code if the IP location changes, browser fingerprints, etc. I imagine there are better ways than to inconvenience all members because of one script kiddie.

Your approach to this is so bad, it's really a joke.

Why are you telling me this? I dont give a shit. The fact is my posts have been disapoearing and thats the point. Whether you delete them or move them. to where I cabt see them is of no significance. How retarded you should be to hide a post from the poster? And your 2fa is even more retarded. Name me a forum where you have to login to your email every single time to confirm your forum login. There is none. This one is the only one. I guess you should be proud. And dont tell me about your mobile app and shit. I aint using it.

Don't bother, I've been down this road more than once, they're just retards. Especially considering limiting post deletion is a 5 second change.

Logging into a fucking forum is more cumbersome than getting into my bank but for some reason they're too retarded to see how ridiculous that is.

Can you share your online banking login details, so that I can test it? Private message is ok too, if you don't want to post them here in the open.

Been thinking I need to change my account to a more easily accessed one.

I dont see the option under profile.

I dont use reddit bcz i have to wait for mod approval everytime. Im not doing this here either, its even more silly if its more than once, like what are the bots going to keep acting like real human beings and start ad spamming after the 5th post..

The signup process was already a red flag. Like no i dont want to associate my real life phone with some garbage ass throwaway forum account that uses a throwaway garbage ass email and i definitely dont keep freaking numbers around to keep access to some random forum site are you kidding me.

Best of luck

Please nuke my profile as topic suggests

2FA should remain in-place in my opinion but I'd like to hear more arguments for/against continuing the 30-day refresh.

I honestly don't mind it at all since Authy is so easy and instantaneous. But what added danger is there to relax the check-in period, say to 60 or 90 days instead?

Then again, if we do that, people are still going to bitch about it. Might as well just leave it as it is.
