About your f***ing website.
- Aetius 16y agoSOs login has always been a fucking pain. No surprise there.
- Griever 16y agoI've always found their openId approach to be pretty nice, actually. I do occasionally find myself being automatically logged out for seemingly no reason at all but it only takes two clicks to log right back in.
- RossM 16y agoI agree, it's certainly better than just a text box with "OpenID" as the label and makes an attempt at saying what an OpenID actually is for people that haven't got one.
- mike463 16y agothat's why I stopped using the site.
- Andrew_Quentin 16y agoCommon, how is this on the front page! - Flagged by the way - oh I can't flag.
- Marticus 16y agoSee at this point I would be far more amused than furious. A legitimate, helpful response (although it IS SO's login, so.... eh) that's a little bit of a "hey quit being a douche" is actually a pretty good way to go about it from a PR standpoint, in my opinion. But hell at least they respond.
- jat850 16y agoFunny enough, yes - but what if the end of the dialog goes the other way? Is it fair/appropriate for a customer service rep (is that what Jeff is?) to respond in this manner, no matter how they are approached by the user? It feels like a gamble. You might win that user - or lose them badly, and reputation along with it.
- mrkurt 16y agoIt's perfectly fair and appropriate to not accept abuse from customers. This seems like a reasonable way of deflecting the abuse but still helping out. It would still seem that way had the guy continued to flip out.
- jat850 16y agoNo denying that. I just think there are better ways to defuse abuse than returning vitriol. However, what's right for me - or how I would handle the situation - is clearly not right for everyone else, especially in the moment.
- hockeybias 16y agoF*ck.
- minalecs 16y agoin general this is the issue with openId and why it doesn't really work and using it as the only authentication system. Usually its better to offer mixed authentication.
