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

The worst sites are the ones that let you sign up with an unusual address but not log in. The worst I‘ve seen was some ticket system that rejected dfyx+theirdomain@mydomain after I clicked the link in their confirmation email.

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. 🤷‍♂️~

If only I had a penny each time a user told something doesn't work when it shouldnt've.
