Close/Disable inactive Ub3r members without 2fa enabled

I think it could be a good idea, but as another poster said, I often take long breaks because I get tired of this place. I'm not trying to submit an appeal on why I'm coming back every time. Bad idea in my opinion, just no logical way to enforce it.

I've stated in another post that if you have 2fa enabled, no matter how long your inactivity period is, you will remain open.
Why don't the scammers activate 2FA after they have hacked into those accounts though?
This would make them seem more trusable.

Or let's put my question this way: If a user's Gauth is enabled, who says it's not a hacker who enabled it?

Because all they're looking to do is scam and move on to the next account.
Maybe for new members, whenever they buy l33t/ub3r, before they buy it a message appears telling them they must activate 2fa as soon as the membership gets activated or you wont be allowed to post/pm. Then when you have activated it then it restores the functions.
As for current l33t/ub3r members just block all functions until they activate 2fa?

Well, as of a recent update Omni pushed out, all upgraded members are required to enable 2fa before they can use the marketplace.

Even that won't prevent it.
Gauth doesn't provide you much guarantee of the account being in control of actual owner and not hacker, because the hacker can enable it too.
It can only help you from not being hacked.

I think you're completely missing my point.

So they can see what users have posted in "buyers bay" even though they cant use the actual marketplace?

Yes, they can view it, just not post inside of it.

All they would have to do is PM the user and then proceed to scam them.
How about just forcing all upgraded accounts to use 2FA? Make it so that they have 1 week to enable it, or else they will be locked out? Don't have a phone? Use Authy on the computer. There are no excuses not to have it enabled other than laziness.

Because if an account is inactive then there's no way the owner would be alerted of this.

Please read the whole thread, you're the 3rd person that has shitposted and completely neglected my point.

It should be the Market tab on the main page is locked and cant click it unless 2fa is enabled.
Even if they are after a service etc can still scam that way. Better be safe then sorry.

Then all a hacker has to do is enable 2fa and vula, scamming spree incoming.

You have to think of the loop holes dude.
Personally I think people who vacation ban right after a open dispute should be dealt with.
