This thread is meant to provide information, especially to new members, or those who have issues in the registration process.
Registration and activation
When you register, you are sent an activation mail. This is needed to activate your account. If you do not do this you are restricted in your activities on this forum, like being unable to post.
You might not have received a mail. This has three possible reasons:
1) You entered the wrong email address. If so, just change it.
2) Your mail ended up in the spam folder. Gmail for example does that a lot,
3) RPGWatch is blocked by your provider.
The mail should be sent to you in a matter of minutes. If you have not received the mail, contact us.
After registration
Once you activated your mail, you can post, but the following restrictions are still in place:
- Your posts need to be moderated
- Your threads need to be moderated
- You cannot create polls
- You cannot edit or delete your posts
- You cannot use a signature
- You cannot upload an avatar
- You cannot edit your profile
And a few other things.
Any new member entering information or posting in a non-English language will be banned and new members will not show in the members list. All this is used to make it less interesting for spammers to register.
Once you have reached 7 approved posts (which is a manual process), we think we have seen enough of you to determine if you are a spammer or not and your posts will no longer need to be moderated. Please note that until your 7th post is approved, any additional posts you make will require approval as well (as you still do not have 7 approved posts yet). A script runs every hour, that will move anyone with 7 approved posts or more, to a user group that removes the above mentioned limitations, so even if you have 7 approved posts, it might take up to an hour after the approval of the 7th post, for the limitations to be removed.
Terms of Service
Just in case you did not pay attention to it, our The Terms of Service or TOS can be found here. Any moderation activities use this TOS as a basis, so be sure you know what it is about.
