Other methods of maintaining an account

#site-feedback

Hi, there have been instances where well.....let's just say things got a little hairy on the Discord server that I am apart of to put it mildly.

I believe said server was required for me to sign up here due to the oath system otherwise if it's just a matter of me having a Discord account than there's no current issue with me being on here.

In case of an instance where said Discord Server goes down I was wandering if other methods of maintaining my account on Fanworx could be implemented whenever possible and if such is possible of course.

I apologise if this request was posted at an inconvenient time, I am just a little anxious about losing my account as I generally enjoy it here and look forward to returning to Fanediting sometime in the new year.

Good question. The oauth is only used at signup to protect against bots. It's not required once an account is created. Your user credentials are store on fanworx and are the only requirement after signup. I have also added an oauth option to use twitch to sign up and there is a plan to have a reddit oauth, with a minimum karma requirement.

Fanworx is meant to be for everybody so it's important that I cast the net wide in terms of sign-up methods. I kept it restricted to start off with as it's sensible to not run before you can walk. I wanted to keep sign ups minimal in case of any hiccups.

I see where your coming from, pretty sound logic and it definitely helps to come prepared in case of mishaps.

Thanks for getting back to me, my anxiety has now fully been quelled and I definitely think I am going to enjoy my time here. I am happy to have been able to help out in the development of the site in some capacity.
