Link? That sounds incredibly stupid design

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah. It is. Every design has assumptions and every design can be abused by those assumptions. I'd like to say it's not a failure in design but it's really just a failure of imagination. No one thought this would be an issue, turns out it is, so someone fixed it.

The problem is that not every system gets updated.
