Undisputed Ruler of Terrencania

![]() Right now there are two major issues plaguing some guests who try unsuccessfully to register over and over; and the only way I can think of to tell them what they're doing wrong is to post it here on the forum as I can't contact them personally (if they don't contact me first).
One: You must be 13 or older to register. That fact seems to escape a lot of people's notice - it is in the forum rules but I guess some people figure they don't need to read those until they've actually registered. In fact, I suggest that anyone considering joining this forum read the rule and FAQ threads first, in case they see something in there they don't like. Accounts, once created, cannot be deleted except by myself, and its a messy process. So be sure you want to join before you do it. Two: You must provide a valid email address when you register. Why? Because when you submit your registration an email is sent to the email address in your profile with a link you must click in order to activate your account. If you do not click that link, your account will never activate. Unactivated accounts will be purged weekly too, so make sure you activate your new account quickly. The majority of unactivated accounts are duplicates by the same individuals who just keep registering over and over again, either never checking their email or simply providing fake emails. You cannot be a member here without a valid email account. That's just how it works, people. More to come if its needed.
