I'm kinda sorry for being absent from here and posting on the Dex. It really is getting out of hand over there.

Codex admins could have just prevented users from deleting posts without doing 2FA

For instance.
Allowing deletion or edits of old posts is a policy that bit the dex in the ass in the past, and it was a matter of time to repeat. Only this time it was worse, because instead of random JCD's gibberish there are broken threads and loss of information.

Although it's my fault for having the same password on multiple sites and one that wasn't long. I have no excuse for myself.

It's the fault of all these goddam websites that insist you create an account with them in the first place.

Get it tattooed on your brows. For all the cavemen who can't figure out technology they can just look up and at their protruding neanderthal foreheads.

Nah, that shit sound gay af fam tbhq with you.
On a semi-related note to the thread topic, I want it to be publicly known that I was banned... twice, from the Codex before HQ was ever a thing.
I think I deserve some street cred for that, unlike all the refugees.

I know this whole hacking story is a bit heinous but let's be honest, it would've been hilarious if Crispy or PedoMarine got hacked instead. I mean let's not kid ourselves here.

I'm not going to do this for the reason that I'm being told I have to. Codex is obeying their orders and masking up like a bunch of cucks, when they should be saying no and forcing them to reverse this retarded decision. Codex is now self-selecting for bitches and cucks.

2FA da fuck is this shit.

I was curious so I clicked around on my codex account. I didn't even see a spot to set up 2FA.

Nevermind. I found it, but no email comes through. *shrugs*

It's suppose to send an email to you with a code.

I only ever used 2sv, sms verification and 64 character passwords for important shit, like stuff connected to my bank account. If someone bothers to brute force my pass on some random website and wants to shitpost or w/e, have fun, I say.

Maybe it's more for the benefit of staff who have access to the codebase? Does codex store sensitive donator data or smt?

They've been running the place for over 20 years and they're tired. Having to clean up after a hack is tiring, so they're going for an extreme option that will make that less likely to happen.

There's this invention called "a pencil". Check this out, you kind of hold this thing in a hand, like a knife, and you press your hand firmly to a sheet of paper, and you make these ritualistic motions, which create symbols. It's sorcery but it works.

I want to make it clear that I fully encourage shilling of the HQ wherever possible
I tried to bring people like Delterius and Abu Antar here, or Deuce Traveller. I can't force them to do anything. But what I *can* do, is make this place more appealing.

Which I am. If it wasn't obvious.
You're doing a yeoman's work, God bless you.

Delterius would spend a couple weeks arguing and getting pissed because he's an elitist progressive and believes whole-heartedly in horseshoe theory. Having to deal with our userbase in game threads would drive him insane. He'd be gone within a month, this place just isn't for him.

Deuce Traveller would probably be a similar casualty, although in his case I think he genuinely just wants to completely ignore politics when talking about games.

Abu Antar might be able to hang though. It sure would be nice if he was posting here.
