Here is a thought...

If the forum is setup that an email activation is required after registration... maybe in the registration page, the user should be informed that they will have to activate their account, via an email, to the email address provided.

This way, they are informed of this BEFORE they finish the registration process.

This might reduce the amount of registration attempts with bogus email addresses.

I agree... also might combat something I started seeing.. where the user is using one of those spam filters that kicks back to you and asks you to have some human intervention in order to see if the email is coming from a real source.

The users in this case are lost and end up bugging me to get them approved since they say they dont receive any email and they cannot log into new accounts.

Good thought Bare.
