@Forb I'd be against tying logins to other platforms, purely from a user point of view.

Afaik emails already can be gathered. So that's one step in the progress. However, the major lobbies do not allow for registering with an email. That will have to come first, right?

@Forb I never intended for this conversation to turn into an argument. Please settle down and refrain from making negative comments about other people, please? If you want something to get done, trying to keep the conversation calm is probably the best way to get it done.

It wasn't a serious suggestion. That said...

@masterbel, I haven't said anything negative about other people.

Split discussion of negative comments to viewtopic.php?f=16&t=36164. (Silentwings)

As usual when this discussion comes round, +1 from me to email verification, but afaics its main use is password reset etc, and seems a minor thing. Might do something against trouble causers, but I doubt it would be a big effect.

As to whitelists for hosts - it won't work, the bad effects of shutting newbies out & the inevitable fallout when host owners argue/compete will far outweigh any positives.
