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on your account is outdated, please change it quickly.

Without providing e-mail, i don't see it hard to steal someones
account. Somethings are pain in the ass, but are just necessary for
security reasons. But it wont stop spammers, new e-mail address is not
hard to get, and you don't have to give your personal info to have it.
And if there is no confirmation e-mail, you can just fake one that
doesn't exist, it must just have proper form. |

I agree. I'm against providing e-mails during the sign-up process but
now I see that there's no way to avoid it unless you want spammers to
overrun your site.  |
