Written by steet :
I have made a few changes to the registration process.
I have always been against requiring an email address for creating an account, even more the need to activate accounts before using them.
Unfortunately, I think this has become necessary, especially with the things that occured on the site recently. (including multi-accounts) I am also tired of having to change the passwords from people who forgot theirs, because they didn't specify an email address to get a new one. (not mentioning the security issues this causes, because I have no way to check if the person asking is really the person who owns the account)
So, you need to specify an email address for your account - and this concerns everyone.
If some of you can't have an email address, ask your parents to use their own : this way they will be able to watch your activity, which is actually a good thing.
Also, to moderators only : I will soon block email addresses changes on your accounts, to ensure no one else can "steal" your account from you. (only I will be able to change them) So, if the email address specified on your account is outdated, please change it quickly.

(Steet: this is Juuchan17, still unable to post on main account) So, does this mean you can fix my "hacked" account so I can use it again? Because that would be great. - Juu17 |

It's about time some measures were put into place to stop these
clowns. It might not stop anyone who's really determined, but it will
sure slow them down. |

I don't see the relation with "going to the library" and "not owning
an email address". Create an email address on yahoo, gmail, hotmail or
whatever, they all are webmails so you can access them anywhere. And as for putting an invalid email address : well one day I may stop giving new password "manually", so if you forget it, then forget your account. I receive at least two messages asking for new passwords every day, I'm getting tired of this. Imagine that the site would have 10x the number of visitors, this would be completly impossible to do that. So if you don't comply with this rule, I may say "too bad for you". |

Kazzy => Strange, you shouldn't be logged out. As for "registering
twice", this happens if you go the register page and you're already
connected to your account... |

Is this perhaps why the site keeps requiring me to log in and has told
me that I have registered twice? O.o ... |
