A Mod needed, please!

Garnet FalconDance · 02-06-2002, 03:48 PM

Saz, Cloudy, Ziroc...any mod

My daughter is trying to register (she is a Darkstone player) but doesn't have her own e-mail address as she typically doesn't do e-mail (when she needs to, she uses mine and her e-mail site suddenly decided to start charging a few months ago anyhow). She tried to register using mine, but the goofy board won't let her.

Does she need to get a dummy e-mail acct. just for this or ?

I suggest getting a dummy email account. You will doubtless come across this situation on other boards/shopping sites/SMS messagin sites whatever and a crappy email account you can give them is always useful.

Garnet, I know you're asking the mods, but I would say that she probably needs a dummy email account, she can get an account at http://www.msn.com though I think she has to log into it now and then to keep it active.

Cloudbringer · 02-06-2002, 03:57 PM

Garnet, they are correct. Best bet is to get her a yahoo or hotmail account to use strictly for such things as forums or online registrations and just put heavy spam filters on it. [img]smile.gif[/img] Will need clearing now and again but it's also where mass email notices come when (hopefully NEVER again) we have down time on the board.

In order to become a member, you get a password. That password is sent to the e-mail account that you provide.
I may be wrong, but I think that is how it works...
so my guess is that she would never receive her password if she didn't use a valid entry...

Sazerac · 02-06-2002, 04:00 PM

That's exactly how it works. Garnet, what the others said...I recommend one of the freebie accounts: Yahoo, MSN Hotmail, or Lycos Mail. She need not make that public after she gets her password, but the passwords are e-mailed in.

Cheers,
-Sazerac

P.S. Hope your daughter enjoys the Darkstone forum! I know our dear Scottish Rodent will take good care of her there. [img]smile.gif[/img]
