Except it hasn't happened again since we implemented 2FA.

Welcome to rpgcodex.net, a site dedicated to discussing computer based role-playing games in a free and open fashion. We're less strict than other forums, but please refer to the rules.
"This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

This is not true. It only affected the threads that had posts deleted from them.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with running RPG Codex via Homer Simpson logic.

The 30 day countdown has nothing to do with actual 2FA. It doesn't offer additional security, a hacker can't replicate the specific cookie you're using right now. It exists only to annoy you.
It is caused by intense laziness of the forum admins.
Some guy haxx0red another guy's account and deleted posts. Now the admins really are usually too lazy to do something about that.
Except! This resulted in a popular thread being unreadable because of a bug in the forum software, and many complaints were made.
Answering complaints is work, so that wasn't going to continue. So the forum admins thought about how they could eliminate these annoying reports.
I'm sure they even considered disabling user reports. At least for a second.
This forum bug could have been fixed, but that would have been work, so instead of fixing the bug, 2FA was introduced and it has a 30 day renewal period.
This renewal period being 30 days is another forum software
So it hasn't been and won't be and admins won't receive complaints because of janky threads.
Problem. Solved.

2FA is why I post much less often...I can't remember...most of the time...both my email password and my forum password. It's like quantum mechanical complementarity.
I'm pretty sure it reduces user activity. (Unless it is desired due to cost?)
Why do the mods want more game discussion to go into the COMMENTS section on YOUTUBE?
Why?
Convenience is king in the modern world. Convenience is joy. Convenience is happiness. I love convenience. You love convenience.

I'm finding more and more that I fucking love 2FA. It's simple as shit and pisses off stupid people.
