Jokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.
A plus sign? That’s nothing, LOL

'*+-/=?^_`{|}~#$@[IPv6:2602:f977:800:0:e276:63ff:fe72:3900]– if your mail client lets you, that is.
Because of one smartass customer who insisted on doing exact RFC 822 validation, I implemented exactly that. And yes,
zKcknV|NGv.lI66vR#@X`QcRK4K.R`?NpA.Gc2Kqzue9.%&nb1kGWp/./#Och$RQvis one of the test cases for a valid addr-spec. See (or generate) some others at https://github.com/mormegil-cz/rfcemailvalidator
I had a website not let me enter a proton.me email address, when I changed it to my custom.fyi address, it worked fine. They wanted a three letter TLD.
Even worse is when they strip the plus sign out after the fact and then you can’t log in anymore because you didn’t realize that’s what has happened.
Yees this has happened to me before but with passwords. They have some length limit that they clamp to so you can’t login after registering and I have to do a password reset right after signing up. Happened multiple times to me.
That was my best customer support interaction ever. Company did not let me register with a “new” TLD email address, as “this is not a valid email address”. I wrote them from that email address. They respondend to that email address with “this is not a valid address”. I wrote back “how are we writing, then?” and never heard back 😂
Not sure if you also do aliases as well but I’ve seen an increase in websites flagging providers like addy.io as well. Extremely annoying that so many websites think they are so important that they refuse an alias.
I had a site refuse my email address for my .net domain. Like wtf, if it’s not .com it’s not a real email address? Idk what that was about.
Same although for a totally different reason. There are some services that really don’t like gtlds and they will say your address is invalid if it doesn’t end in .com, .net, or .org…all my serious domains are gtld…so some services have emails on meme domains because the only domains I have with traditional tlds are memes
The issue this is referring to is because the user cannot paste into a text field. And the user was not rude about it either.
So instead of fixing the actual problem, the developer went nuclear and removed the validation. A dick move in my opinion given the developer’s attitude.
~It’s more sad than funny. 🤷♂️~
IMO as a developer this is a sane change. There’s no telling when the format of the first-party api key will change. They may switch from reference tokens to JWT tokens tomorrow. The validation should be using the token and seeing if it works.
If they had made the change for that reason, sure. But the actual stated cause was some pretty thing.
I don’t know what that repo does. But, chances are the dude was just fucking tired of dealing with curseforge. Total garbage scum software.
It’s prism. A multi-launcher for Minecraft Java edition.
I’m guessing removing the validation fixed the pasting, which means it did fix the actual problem?
So the users realized their mistakes and stopped complaining……and other jokes public project maintainers tell themselves while laughing in tears
If only I had a penny each time a user told something doesn’t work when it shouldnt’ve.
Prismlauncher! I remember browsing through the changelog and spotting this, made me chuckle internally.
I’ve done this before. it’s funny when the users are all, “why??!” and to respond with, “because you asked for it!”
