In settings I see a section called 'Your Anonymous Token:'. But if a token has got divulged inadvertently, is there a way to reset it?

Question for the site admins: what is the purpose of this token?
|
|
|

It looks like CP is intending to offer its services through other websites like Yahoo/FB/Twitter Authorization. See 'security' tab in 'My Settings'.

Ah, so they may offer a web service and your auth key gives you access. Makes sense. Thanks.

Yes. They ought to equip a feature to reset the access token if it gets compromised. That is missing now. Also a feature to disable API access also would help fortify the account.

The token is currently unused. I'll add this feature to the TODO list.

Dear CP Team,
When members signup and/or post messages can you indicate the country and/or place they are posting from near the message and in their settings. That way it would make it more deterrent for abusers right?

Because you want to avoid all posts from Australians?
Let's judge members on their actions, not on their ethnicity.

I appreciate the proactive step in punishing the offenders but it is a reactive trend. How about sending a warning message which can help as a preventive measure. Isn't prevention better than cure always?

If I'm the type of person that would abuse the forum, why would you knowing my IP address and/or country be of any concern to me?

This is due to the lack of clipboard support, and the hoops we have to jump through.
We do not get the benefit of a "The users is pasting text" message (let alone the pasted text itself - which would be nice!). We get a "text was pasted" message after the text has been pasted, so we try and compare what is there after the paste with what was there before.
In your case you had "Data structure alignment". You then highlighted this, pasted and ended up with "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment". We search forwards and backwards to try and narrow down the change in the text to try and guess what was acutally pasted. In this case the change we see is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_". The ending "alignment" match and so our code thinks that these were the same before and after, not having anything else to go by.
Clipboard handling has to be one of the top Absolute Disasters of Browsers in my book. They have tried to enforce security of the clipboard using the safest possible method: not implementing it. There are hacks around, some using Mozilla's ugly XUL, Flash or even Java. They all kinda suck.
