Post by: sheepdog on October 02, 2004, 03:28:39 PM
I recently decided to check how many bounced emails Bg was getting.

Some of you have been bad it seems.

I will not answr PM's while this is stiickied regarding posting problems. THIS IS YOUR ANSWER!


If your account suddently stops working, it means your email account was found to be bad. This causes Bg to work tripple time everytime you get apost in a subscribed forum, as well as Pm, because now it must email you, that gets sent back, then it must email me. Then I get angry... (I will refrain from lame  Hulk quotes).



IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU:

Here is how to fix it
First get a working email account.  Note* Many free ones are BLOCKED!!!!
You guys do not check them, so they get canceled, then they bounce. Sorry, not going to be my problem. As I find them, I block them. So if you have one, I recomend not telling others about it. The more who use it, the more likely I will find it and block it.

Second, make sure BG emails are not blocked. AOL PEOPLE!

Third, input that email into your Bg control panel.

FOURTH AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
Check that email account for the email verification notice.

FOLLOW ITS DIRECTIONS







Edit: Aparently some AOL users are blocking Bg because of an email setting. Not because their email is incorrect. if so, find your email block settings and allow Bg, then email me and I can re-enable the account.

I am NOT going to tell you guys where to get free email accounts.

Your internet provider, school, and occasionally work will provide you with one. which will work just fine.

Most ISP's give you up tp 5 free.

For one thing, it eliminates some of the thought that you are anonymous on the internet. The internet has caller I.D. and its not easily blocked.

Because people feel anonymous they feel they can say or do anything they want without repercussions. By doing this it cuts down on people acting stupid.

Also, eliminating free email services also keeps people who are banned, from just going and re-registering again every 5 seconds until I can really pin them down.


Bg is not the only website I have seen do this, in fact more and more are doing it daily.

Your hotmail will work as long as teh account works, but, you will not be able to change your profile until you change your email.

You do know thats an option YOU have set right?
In your profile you can turn them off.

If your email bounces, I will disable the account until it is fixed.

Gmail was banned.

Its not closed, use the email your internet provider gave you and it works perfectly fine.


Besides, closing registaration will still not stop peoples email from being sent back.

You MUST have a working email. Thats pretty simple to follow I think


If you do not like it, tough fucking shit.
Trust me, you would HATE IT here if I did not do this. This keeps away an unbelievable amount of people who only want to cause trouble.

More to come.

i understand what you're trying to do with the free email accounts..but just because its easy to get a certain email, means it should be banned? this makes little sense to me all though i respect the reason of spam etc. but eh, i think its a little petty. maybe there's a higher reason but thats what i think. and the email my internet provider gives out, sucks the big one, so i guess ill have to keep that yahoo mail in my settings(no longer exists) until i purchase an email account you know nothing of?

Post by: sheepdog on May 24, 2005, 08:47:05 PM
Paraphrased from above and other threads, since you did not read them.

I wont go into detail, but IP ban is not always possible. The idea is to have as many possible ways to ban as you can, and implement those that fit the situation best.

As for free ones. I have several reasons..
1. people forget them, then they are terminated. Sending email back and forth saying it is diconnected

2. people make multiple accounts

3. free email companies not only come and go, but provide shitty service. Hotmail in particular. How many times has it been down recently? When they are down all email comes back. Which triggers a program on Bg to change the account to awaiting email confirmation.



Gmail
Some people have no issues with it, in the end, it is now just a free email service, and has already been abused, BADLY.


Forcing people to use an email that can be traced to them makes them more responsible. People feel the net is anonymous, and it is far from it. It has built in caller ID. By making people know they can be held accountable, it keeps A LOT of the riff raff off of BG.  Trust me, it has cut down  a ton. Most people who want to mess witha  website almost always use a free email provider. Making them use a legit, traceable IP makes it easier to get them into troubl should they actually do something wrong as well.


Most importantly, it is not hard to get one from your internet provider.

If you cannot handle or deal withthat, sorry, go someplace else. Doing this has cut down on over half of the crap that was happening here.

AOL works.

No free email addresses work.
I cannot recomend one because all that I find, I block.

Only  the  3rd  message  regarding  this.

If  you  look  at   a post of  his,  it  clearly  states  awaiting  email  verification.

Sheep, question:

I registered here with my gmail account. But for sake of "anonymity" my email address is my first name, period, my last name @ gmail .com

Its not like i'm really hiding who I am.

But if I am going to get blocked for it (not that I subscribe to any threads anyway) can I use my work email? Which also has my name? Or my bikeguide email? :D

Since you can post replies it means everything is working on this end.
Make sure java is up to date.

It's something on your computer or network.
