If somebody could kindly post a link to this thread over here:
http://boards.caazone.com/showthread.php...-CSN/page4 ... I'd appreciate it.
1) Go to
http://www.mailinator.com ... Where it says check your inbox, type in whatever you want before the @ sign ... say ... paulhewittisaterriblecoach@mailinator.com ... so you'd type in paulhewittisaterriblecoach. It will then show you whatever has been sent to that address in the last few hours. However email only stays in there about a day or so if that. So if you haven't checked in a while, try posting here. If you can, mailinator automatically pruned the confirmation email.
2) Register here using whatever made up mailinator you want. Just make sure either your handle is obviously JMU related, or the email address is. I will simply delete non-JMU registrations that appear to come from temporary email services.... though I may open these up to other CAAZone refugees if they drop me an email ... support@csnnation.com
3) Check your mailinator for the confirmation email when you're approved.
Q: BUT I WANT MY YAHOO/GMAIL/HOTMAIL
A: Between our automated registration spam catcher and admin approval, we deny
over 1,000 attempted spam bot or troll registrations
a day. Also, it has become so ludicrously easy to get gmail/yahoo/hotmail/etc addresses, that when we ban somebody they just get a new one and come back. We'd prefer to NOT ban their IP address, as some are accessing from corporate networks where other non-trolls are accessing, or they're accessing from dynamic DSL/Telco ranges where we'd have to nuke enormous IP address ranges to get rid of them. When you reach a site of our size, it becomes a much better deal to manually help legit users who have no facebook email already (all 3 of you out there) than it is to deal with a never-ending flood of spammers and trolls coming back over and over and over again.
