Two steps verification on Sherdog WTF??

[Dogshare]

With those things it is often about what the members accept. If they lose a lot of members it maybe will be removed again. I will see when I cannot login anymore.

You can't just get users back like that. When a big chunk of your user base is gone, it's gone. There is no getting them back.

Yes of course. But I have to see they will really do this in the first place. Maybe they will make it optional for some time first. Every change has benefits and negatives for them. Ending up with a very safe forum, but without much activity is probably not what they are looking for.

You are correct. Xenforo very strongly urged that we implement this, and we're listening.

Sorry to hear that, it's not a huge step and we try to make it as relatively painless as possible.

Treasure, what do I have to do? Nothing till I get an email?

They must know that. It seems rather obvious to me that this is a business decision, as in they need to prove X authenticated users otherwise they lose a big ad contract or whatever.

In which case it s the only way to keep sherdog profitable. IDK. I guess it‘s hard to compete with all the social media who spread their overheads on huge userbases.

There's a header at the top of the site, well should be anyway

I went in there and all it asked me to do was change my password. Nothing about another step

In 15 sears or so when some of you fuckwits decide to run for Governor or Congress, you'll be glad they did this, because you wont get 'Mark Robinsoned'. Some of Cook1's 2008 posts probably would not age well.

Man you are part of the deep state and against Trump.
Thats why this is being done.
With 2FA you can control our wi-fi and steal all our precious data, which you will sell to the woke big Tech and Big Pharma.
Dont think I dont have figured you out!!

 

[AFanNotAFighter]

Just did it. No big deal. Just make sure your email settings allow for contact. I saved the back up codes to my desktop.

Above password change should say two-step verification , “change” in orange text

I kinda do, however I don't get the posters who think they are in the resistance regarding the matter.

Every poster sherdog loses is detrimental to its future success. Your thoughts are irrelevant.

You're probably giving them too much credit. It seems to be a mix of incompetence, not caring (not my business, not my problem admins) and the parent company only paying attention to the ad money rolling in. A quarter down the line when the company notices ad revenue is down is the first time they'll care about it, but they still may be too stupid to figure out what caused it. They might think the cure is to firebomb the remaining user base with even more ads

Balance and order are near. To those fighting inevitability, enjoy your final day.

I remember when LiveLeak shut down their forums.
Was after a hack

Getting the same vibe here from everything users are posting

Honestly this provides a nice clean break for a lot of us. I have no interest in listening to the WR lefties kick and scream and tantrum for the next four years anyway.

But why do they say 'within one week'. If it would be totally sure then they would give a date at which it will be active. Now it is more like waiting what the members do. If most members won't do this it will have an influence on the next step to take.
