Rant No. 3
Growl. You know what I hate? When you’re on a site, like MySpaceTM, where you require a password to be on the site but when you try to navigate to another page – it randomly kicks you off!
Now I know with MySpaceTM this is the number one way people phish people’s passwords. BUT STILL! Lately it HAS been sending me back to the real main page instead of a fake one. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Is it so hard to keep people logged in for a long period of time? Do you need to randomly kick people off so you can make sure that it really is the right person accessing the site?
There has to be a better way to figure all of this out.
What’s worse is when you’re on [MySpaceTM] and you try to access something, say a blocked profile – but the person has just added you, and it keeps sending you back to the ‘This Profile Is Set To Private. You Must Be This Person’s Friend To Access This Webpage’ TENFOLD! Over and over till FINALLY, it decides to say, ‘Oh yeah, by the way, we kicked you off. Sign back in NOW! OH WAIT! Make sure you see the right http:// at the top or someone’s trying to phish you password – but I know some idiots out there won’t listen so just go back to what you were doing. Or get a life!’
Hrmph. I hate changing my passwords. There’s another one to add to the list of ones I already have and have to remember. My brain can only take so much!
I ask; What is the world coming to?
