"Too Much Trouble"
You know that validation email that gets sent out from Links SQL when a user signs up? Well someonen actually replied to it rather than click the validate link in it (which is just as easy as bothering to reply... in fact it may even be less key strokes)

He wrote: "to much trouble"

I visited his web site... "Under Construction".... what an ass.

This is surely the same guy that went out on his first date and when the girl said "Take me out for dinner and you might get lucky after" said "too much trouble"!



hehehe

LOL.

He just had to cut-and-paste the validation code (ctrl-c 2 clicks), click the link (1) and paste it (ctrl-v 2 clicks) then click submit (1) that is 6 clicks I estimtate...

I am thinking of making a "Bottom List" to compiment my top lists on this particular site. "See Canada's Worst as Voted by YOU!" This will surely generate more activity!Tongue

That ass, just gave me a good idea.

That is ridiculous. It is not that complicated to validate oneself.

I would not even add that person's link into your directory. He or she doesn't deserve to be listed, IMO.

Buh Bye!

Yeah..it takes more clicks to validate the user in admin (if you have it turned on) than it does for them to validate themselves!

I just cleaned out all of my un-validated users, people who couldn't be bothered to validate themsevles after signing up I guess, and it totalled 77 users! I can't beleive there are so many of these guys out there.

Ian,

Pretty low, huh.

Well, one thing I've done is written a script to notify Non-Validated accounts with the validation code on a daily basis up to five days. After the fifth contact, the account/record is deleted.

You should consider that some (very few) of the non-validated accounts may have had technical problems while attempting to validate their accounts. So, offer them other opportunities to validate their account would be appropriate.
========================================
Buh Bye!

Cheers,
Me

That is a good idea but what about bogus email addresses clogging up your email server with Bad Return errors?

Re: [Teambldr] "Too Much Trouble" In reply to
Well, for already registered or validated users whose email addresses become "bogus", then they are BANNED (since some user's email addresses bounce due to "exceeding their disk space"). And for those "non-validated" accounts, sending them reminder messages is not intensive, and when I find out that their email address is bogus, then they are deleted from the database before the fifth contact.
========================================
Buh Bye!

Me

You say you ban bogus emails but then go on to give a good reason as to why banning would be totally unfair.
