Is this two factor system in place purely for the security of a Sythe user's account? Or is it some way similar to the SVU system whereby personal information (such as the mobile number used) is released under special circumstances?

I only ask, because it often concerns me the implications of mini-ranks and users attempting to fool others into thinking this makes them trusted.

I've seen (today alone) several threads with [EXTREME HOMESEX][TRUSTED] in the title, stupid as this might seem, this could be misleading for new or ill-informed users.

EDIT: an example of this, though quite old... happened when I asked a user with this in his thread title why it was there over Skype and his said something to the effect of "You can only get that rank if Sythe gives you, it makes me trusted". <_<

It just secures your account

Basically a hacker would need your mobile or other device to use your Sythe account

Thanks for clarification Rawry.

What are your thoughts on users utilizing mini-ranks as a form of false trust?

OMG I'm famous. Mr Sythe used my profile in a picture.
I'd like to take a moment to thank my parents, and my girlfriend and my computer ofcourse.
Thanks.

Am I the only one who sees this as a terrible idea since it lets hackers know who to fuck with? (everyone without the rank)

There's no charge for putting two factor on your sythe account. Anyone who is concerned should add it.

I don't see it as a problem.
