Recovering account

[Caydr]

I haven't logged in to TASClient with my regular account (caydr) in like 4 years, I tried all my usual passwords, no luck, I think maybe it expired or there was a server change and someone else registered it?

Anyway can I get the password reset?

[Jazcash]

This is why we need email verification. People can retrieve their forgotten passwords...

No need task lobby mods / admins with these user management chores.

Oops I haven't used the email in 3 years what was its pass.

And forcing verification causes issues getting people to go through that.

Then ask for an admin reset of the email address at that point, duh. Or create a new account with your new email address.

I think email verification would be a great idea, because faggots then come on just to troll, who then get banned or muted, can just instantly sign in with a diffrent name- it becomes time and effort. anything discouraging smurfs can only be a good thing, right?

MTR

Because email will totally stop smurfs/trolls from spamming accounts using email addresses that take a min or two to create, not to mention the countless instant temporary fake addresses all around the internet.

Optional email address would be great for account recovery though.

Because taking 2-5 minutes making a new email account is more work and time consuming than typing /rename and pressing enter for isntant gratification

Eh. Add a mandatory 24-hour wait between new user id creation per IP, and voila, no more of that problem.

That feature exists, but is disabled for anyone that wants to show friends or other legit uses of multiple registrations. And admins are notified about registrations.

[Argh]

Yeah, I can see how that's a need, but is that a common enough occurrence to justify not using that feature?

I can't judge from here, but I'd be really surprised if more than 1 legit dual-account was registered like that per month. Most multiple account IDs per IP are smurfing, period.

Perhaps a "group registration" could be allowed, for stuff like LAN parties, etc., which, again, can't be really common events.

I went all the way down this rabbit hole when the lobby was being attacked; there are commands to disable registrations or logins completely
