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on your account is outdated, please change it quickly.
