My friend is trying to make a forums login, but he has a precondition failed when logging in.
I even tryed.
[2] User 2 requests authentication as "[email protected]".
[0] Password request sent to user 2, username "MuFOPimpMaster", method md5, message "Login with Authority forums".
[2] Login failed, reason: Unknown error code 412 returned, content "PRECONDITION_FAILED: Login again at the authority.".
Silly question: are you absolutely sure you are entering the correct password for that account in the forum login? As far as I can tell, this is what is supposed to happen if you repeatedly enter the wrong password.

Or are you able to "freeze" someone's account by trying to log into it over 'n over? Basically locking them out. Trolls have done less productive things ..
I would be mildly surprised if the phpbb guys haven't thought of that one. Trolls can force you into captcha mode, obviously, but I'd say that's about it.
