Forum Rules For validating guests

To reply, find the validation topic below by showing all topics "from the beginning." Users to be validated cannot start topics. This will hopefully help ward off spambots in this forum and allow true users to be quickly validated.

If it's been about a week and your account still isn't validating, post your desired username here and then reapply. If you STILL haven't gotten validated a week after that, AIM DeathAngelShiya (( That's me! )) and chew me out. XD

Basically, I get 50-100 applications per day, and 99% of them are spammers, so real people get denied if your username/e-mail combo seems too much like a spammer.

A way of ensuring a quick validation? Use your ODU e-mail! Every other email service (( hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc )) has spammers coming from it.

If you'd like, feel free to post here before you first apply to make sure that I validate you correctly the first time through to skip the hassle.

Update as to the account validation situation...
Only .com or .edu e-mail addresses can be used on these forums. All of the rest have been banfiltered out. So, your hotmail/yahoo/gmail/school account are all okay. That one e-mail address you got through that RP forum that one time? Might not be. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Yet another update...
Gmail will no longer be usable for ODUAC forum accounts. About 90% of the spam accounts that come in for validation every day are from gmail accounts, and I've begun to just delete them without even worrying what the username is, so what's the point of allowing them in the first place?

As always, the best e-mail address to use to sign up is your odu.edu account.
