e-mail activate for new accounts/changing passwords
I think that a thing should be sent to the e-mail address that activates the account or the new account password. What do you guys think?

yes, but their parents could help them activate. It would help make sure people don't sign up with an email address like ajdfg@jkdlag.com.

sorry, but I had already made this suggestion here, yesterday!.
But mine wouldn't be where you confirm it, it would be that you have to enter a code to activate the new password/account.

What will this do, just make it more inconvenient for people to join? That's how you lose users. Little kids get frustrated easily and won't want to wait to do something.

That's true. Adding the extra steps will just discourage people from joining.
