PoM Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I choose a name, password, i get the e-mail. I click the link. I get "Please input the verification ID that was given to you in the email." What shall i do? Whats this verification ID? This is the e-mail i got: Dear user, Your registration for the username: The-Knife is almost complete. The last step of verification requires you to verify this email address by clicking the link below: If your email allows you to decypher HTML code click here: <A HREF="http://www.pcgamemods.com/v/1461f5a2c5967cfe6ee303b9277f3f0e">http://www.pcgamemods.com/v/1461f5a2c5967cfe6ee303b9277f3f0e If you cannot read HTML emails copy and paste this link into your browser: http://www.pcgamemods.com/v/1461f5a2c5967cfe6ee303b9277f3f0e So what is this "Verification ID"? This is an automated message so please do not reply to this email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 It's a common verification on many forums to prevent people from registering many times and to reduce the amount of possible trouble makers. They are just checking if you provided a valid e-mail address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Pcgamemods has had lots of trouble in the pass with people logging on to multiple user names, that actually is part of the reason they disabled votes I if I remember right. You can understand them wanting to prevent it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 well if that is the first email verification you have gotten for a website ever feel lucky. I have a file folder with my email that has over 100 of those verification emails that usually include your username and password. Especially for sites that refuse to let me set my own password. Of course none of this is a new thing websites have been doing this for different reasons for years now. I personally am glad that most sites do that as frequent as identity theft happens on the net, not to mention it's a great way to know weather the emails you are getting is SPAM or something you asked for. because if you click on the verification link and then decide to sue a that company for SPAMMING you then they have the legal authority to tell you that your an idiot and that you brought it on yourself.

bneezy Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I never got an email for bneezy or bneezy21. I changed mine to bjc21 and it worked like a charm. Don't know why. (Thanks again, Achillies!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Just click on the link it will confirm that your e-mail address is valid and will bring you to the pcgamemods site. No need to make a big fuss about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
