Email Verification = Fail.

[WhoIsYou]

18 users registered, 17 unverified have been on the site. Do the math :S
Kinda like this every day...
People often complaining about not getting the email, and some are just noobs... Anyway, keeping a lot of people out :/

[WMD54]

im guessing that it's a lot of people who put bogus emails, coupled with a few who are too stupid to realize what a validation email is, and then a few who genuinely don't get the email.

[WhoIsYou]

Pretty much...

[SGT_PiTBULL]

According to my calculations...
17/18 = about .94
.94 x 100 = 94
94 x % = 94%

94% of the new members are unverified.

[WMD54]

Pretty much...
so... i'm kinda failing to see the suggestion here.

[WhoIsYou]

Hm, lets see.
If 1+1=2, and email verification sucks, remove email verification.

[SGT_PiTBULL]

He are suggestings that the site should not has a "Email Confirmation" thing-a-muh-blob.

[WMD54]

well, so far, most of the people i've seen asking about verification emails have also been asking about things like "who knows an admin i want the admin codes for MOHH2" or something like that. i wouldn't say we're missing much.

[nx.dcr]

WMD posses a good point lol.
Why would we want people who come to get codes and leave on here?
The People worth keeping find a way in :)

[WhoIsYou]

Not all of them...

[WMD54]

WMD posses a good point lol.

Or just remove verification and lock the codes section until they have like 10 posts or something..

[SonniE]

i see when ever there is an email that is not sent through my email cpanel 99% of the time the user isnt checking their email if their email service uses small servers sometimes they dont receive it if anyone knows a better idea for verification post

Or just remove verification and lock the codes section until they have like 10 posts or something..
idc about the codes bots and spammers get through w.o it.

well then you meant poses =]

[WhoIsYou]

Anyway, on topic.

There's always the COPPA verification (Type in letters that are in the pic).
Aswell as the custom question.

Bots cant really get through the custom question (Something,like Whats codinghs backwards) and if it's a spammer(human) theyd be able to verify email anyway... So it's worth a shot IMO

[nx.dcr]

Yeah i like that idea actually.
Thats a good one :)
But then.. It makes it easier for those worthless retards that just come and leave to...
Do exactly that, Come, Get what they want, And leave. Lol.

[WhoIsYou]

Who cares if theres leechers, nothing is lost by having them around, and at least there's the possibility of getting someone decent. Which we do on occasion, but they always run off due to the poor quality of posts in their intro threads.

[nx.dcr]

Hmm.. This could be true.
Well i like the idea of the Question.

[Slimjim0617]

Yeah it would be a good idea to just go ahead and do the question thingie.

[CaNANDian]

i'll look into this also if they truely need to verify and they dont get the email verification then they can have it resent

theres been like 10 people asking in this past week saying they didn't get an email.... one nub even PMed me his hotmail account and pw.
