"Is this hacking/illegal/Will I go to jail for this?" Nope! If you're imagining me hunched over a large monitor in a server room, hacking into the mainframe, you're mistaken! (except for the hunched over part. My back QoQ) It's not illegal, either. My only concerns about legality would be if I were being paid FOR my services (which while I have a way to donate on my discord server, I will forever keep this service free to use) or implementing a recaptcha in a website that doesn't have one- but this site does, so theres no trouble there.

"Can you see my email?" Whether you request an account on google forms or discord, yes, I will need an email to complete the registration. For full transparency, I have a complete list of every form sent to me, which contains various emails. I plan to keep these for future reference incase anyone wants a second account, but I did not record them myself- Google forms allows you to automatically insert the data there into a spreadsheet, which includes your email. No one but me and a select few trusted volunteers will have access to any of this information, but you can always request to have your email removed from the sheet. No need to clarify it- just say you want it removed and I'll do the rest.

"I don't want to tell you my password" You don't have to! When registering accounts, I make a password on the spot- one that's easy to remember and unique to your account*. I always make sure to tell people to change it, but in case you don't know how: Go to your profile, and under your avatar you'll find a button labeled 'configuration'. Then, press 'change my password' and you can input the rest there! This is so that the account is truly yours- I don't want to leak any information from anybody, and in case anything *does* get leaked by someone else, I want your account to be safe. *It's unique to you so that 1) you know that I care! :) 2) more seriously, it can't be replicated. In case someone decides not to change their password, I don't want anyone else to be able to try and enter their account. Your password will be completely unique to you even before changing it.

Good question! It has to do with the sites terms of service. Originally it was intended to only be one account per person, but that quickly became unmanageable. So the code is still there to keep the limitation in place, but it won't get you in trouble.

Always glad to help!

No. The email has to actually exist in order to register an account- this is because it actually does store it, in case you want to receive promotional newsletters (which you can turn on through configuration) or if you need help recovering your account.

If it's not a real email, then it won't go through.

He doesn't, but it's still stored in the data of the website.

It's likely he uses some form of syntax or domain checks.

It can't be bypassed though.

Yes, I am! Anyone waiting for a second account will be contacted for a new email for their next register.

Anything for this beautiful puke-green hellsite... <3

To be completely transparent, all I know is that it's not illegal and he hasn't stopped us yet. I find it hard to believe he'd take the time to ban every single account made rather than just remove more code to make it harder to register- if he can't even put in the effort to put it back after all this time, a mass-ban is hard to believe.

that's a good question! I remember that too. As of right now, we haven't been utilizing this when registering accounts- but we may going forward. As long as registering is being monitored, We'll make sure that no one uses it to create too many accounts.

It will stay as a last resort for communication. Discord users will be reccomended to use a genuine email, but it will not be the obstacle that it used to be. Previously we'd get an email, it wouldn't work, then we'd ask for another and just have to sit and wait. It won't be as annoying now.

LMAOOO I was picturing the dad from coraline!! same energy either way lolol
