it might be useful to verify that the email actually exists
though that's not particularly useful from the user's side, just the scratch team's side

This. Would be annoying to people without emails though.


Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.

Some people put in a fake e-mail, if they don't want to give out their real one.

Re: Send confirmation email after signing up

This would deter people from registering if they don't have an email because they cant register.... At least now if you don't have an email address you can put in "afdkghla@ksjdfe.com" or something.

Re: Send confirmation email after signing up

If it'll only send an e-mail telling that you account was created, I support.

But if you'll have to click on a link sent to your e-mail to activate your account, then I don't support.

Both, yes.
