Steam Login removal & Policy Change

[Near]

The fact steam login would fail for me even if i typed credentials AND steam guard key correctly on any site that had it merely integrated, and wasn't the steam community site itself, was enough of a red flag to not even bother with it here. It's just unusable sometimes, and valve support is approaching google in terms of being unreachable.

someone found one and logged in via FB which automatically made his forum account and avatar his FB name/picture.

Good. People dumb enough to halal themselves deserve to dox themselves.

@Null didnt you disable .edu and .gov emails after the last time there was some email bullshittery going on? Also going to the movie night with your regular discord is the new steam.

 

[Piss Clam]

Well I guess I am fucked, because I used a toss away email address, but then I don't care and nobody will miss me.

 

[Gus]

This is honestly the last place I'd integrate any other account with.

 

[A-tistic]

I want to be able to log in with my furaffinity and fetlife accounts.

 

[ThePurpleProse]

I don't know how many people jump through a shitload of mail accounts like me, but I use lastpass so I only have to remember 1 good password and the rest is generated at random, only downside is that I have to install it on every device I need to log in, but even then I'm a paranoid fucktard so I only use my devices.

When I first got on this website, I read the stickied 'here's what you need to do to protect yourself shitlord' and I set up an email through the cowmail thing, because that was what this site recommended. Which bitch niggas are logging in with Steam?

 

[Piss Clam]

Use an email you will actually check. You will eventually need it to recover your password, and I may eventually need it to send emergency contact to everyone.

Imagine NULL sending you an emergency email.

It made sense when we were the official farm of #Gamergate to show our street cred.

Imagine NULL sending you an emergency email.

It’s happened. When the site was kill.

Who the fuck ever used that feature?

It was me

 

[Autopsy]

Get creative! I dug up the Taiwanese equivalent of Netscape for my email just to fuck with Null's head if he ever bothered to look. Bonus points if you use an email service put up before 2000, one hosted in a no-go country (I'm aware of at least 1 Eritrean mail service accessible to the greater internet, so long as you do your research), or use an email service intended for children.

Why remove the Steam button? Just rename it to "Press this button if you're stupid." and then watch as actual fucking morons press it only to get logged in through steam.

My god you know how many more threads we'd have?

 

[Arctic]

I remember being surprised that this was even a thing, since Steam is one of the most reliable ways to get doxxed.

I don't think we'd actually have any more threads. People who make fools of themselves will do it regardless of using Steam, Facebook, or whatever other identifying log in options they use. Plus I doubt most people put a ton of personally identifying information into Steam. Anybody who's a big enough sperg to warrant a halal thread will probably be posting a lot of identifying information anyway. Maybe they'll use their real name as their username like Connor did, maybe they'll post something like a picture that you can use a reverse image search on to find their Facebook, Twitter, or Deviant Art page. Autism finds a way.

I always thought the login with Steam thing was some kind of in-joke but I'm glad OP is on the case

The worst one could do with Steam is if they unironically posted shit like what fetishes they are into and the like. The fact some could post their Deviant Art page or Twitter handles can lead more to halaling themselves if they are that dumb.

I didn't even know wtf steam was when I signed up here.

Could just write everything down.

Real men use their main e-mail account (preferably .gov domains)

this gets me sexually excited to imagine

I like the idea, a button that actually auto-posts in a GD thread with a template introducing your IP and email & looking to make friends in your local area.
