Hi everyone,

I just tried to login to Busy.org but I got a very strange message that only had the option "continue" in the sense of "accept". A few days ago it was this one:

... and now it has changed to this one:

No-one without a deeper understanding of busy.org and the Steem environment knows what that means.

So...What Does That Mean? Seriously.

The procedure makes a very untrustworthy impression to me and I would never click ok to this, no matter what it wants from me and who wants it from me. I have several problems with that authorization message:

1. It does not have a "continue without accepting" option to approve later.
2. It does not explain anything. No-one except for the developers know what this @busy.app is. And what in gods name is meant with posting role?! Does it mean that Busy makes posts in my name? I really don't get it.
3. I used Busy before, so it's not the first time that I intended to login, but it's the first time that this message pops up and leaves you no other option but to accept or leave. Why this kind of a solution? It would be better to add a message in a box to click ok after the login.
4. The redirection for the login goes via Steemconnect as you can see in the URL bar, which is another indicator of something untrustworthy. Not everyone knows about Steemconnect, and a redirection to an unknown site during the login process is an absolute no-go.
5. The new login procedure has a bit more information and I tried to remove the checks from the check boxes, but it turned out that they are just images. That's something a scammer would do.

You really need to fix this or users who used Busy as second platform access in case Steemit doesn't work will quite likely not come back after getting such a message smashed in their faces.

What You Should do About It

A) You should remove the message and return to the state it had before, or
B) Let the message pop up when users are logged in, or
C) You should explain in detail and for non-nerds what the message means, to what extend @busy.app will comment or delete my content, and also why the procedure goes via Steemconnect and does not directly happen on Busy.org, or
D) You should add a "Go Ahead without approval" button, or allow users to remove the checks in the check boxes (if possible) .

My bottom line is: I really would like to know what you want me to accept there. I'm sure, others think alike.

I hope that was clear. If you have questions, let me know in the comments.
