OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees

Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. - Lemmy.world

Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

It’s disingenuous to pass off ww2 as a current event though.
