No more email validation

You don't need to validate your email anymore to register since it caused a lot of problems for many people.

I guess thats a good thing. But i guess more likely for a spam bot to attack us trying to sell viagra.

Well i dont think we had much of a choice on this. Even my youtube account got many pm's about email problems.

**Naga** · 01-22-2008, 01:12 PM

you can activate their account through admin panal.

**MedusaSpaceJew** · 01-22-2008, 04:44 PM

Only admins can activate accounts ,and guest cant post message until they register.
That way bots wont be able to spam i think...

**enigmaindex** · 01-23-2008, 03:15 AM

Oh so once a person makes an account it has to get activated by the Admins first before they can actaully post.

Well if thats it then its a good idea i was once a member of a forum long ago and they disabled the email activation and they got spammed like **** so yeah.

everyone likes spam!......oh your mean the mail thingy...ugh

That's a good idea but the admins/mods have to pay attention closely to active all the people. An admin has to be on 24/7 or something because a new member of Zomgforums could be lost if you don't active them.

what..? There is no need for email validation anymore. It auto-activates your account...? try making an account and see for yourself.

**Benawolnow** · 02-22-2008, 08:40 AM

I mean that the Admin's have to active the account right? You said something like that in the above post o.o *(Me confused)*

**Naga** · 02-22-2008, 08:44 AM

I didn't say that o_O.

**Benawolnow** · 02-22-2008, 08:49 AM

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't notice that "airecrist" bumped an old topic, someone needs to close/lock old topics o.o

You said "you can activate their account through admin panal."

How can a normal person use a admin panal? Meaning you have to active the accounts of the people that come here.

Also, Medusa said "Only admins can activate accounts ,and guest cant post message until they register.
That way bots wont be able to spam i think..."

Naga, are you saying that Medusa was wrong?

**Naga** · 02-22-2008, 09:08 AM

he is correct:
only admins can activate accounts - true but theres no need since its auto activates.
guests cant post until they register - true
bots who sign up can still spam though.

**Benawolnow** · 02-22-2008, 09:16 AM

You sound like you are encouraging bots to spam here. How would you beat the bot and what if Dattebayo gets a bot here or something o.o?
