Well, there's always the "Do we need 100 screaming 12 year olds on the forum?" factor  I'm not saying all are, but judging from the experience so far...

| plix | COPPA is US federal law, not international law. Why even bother observing it when the majority of the members aren't American and the majority of the forum administrators aren't either? |

| Kosta | Ah, the unvalidated users are those that clicked that they are younger than 13 :P For children to legally access a forum, their parents must send a signed COPPA form which confirms that their parents allow them to view it. I haven't received any yet, so all those under-13-year-olds will have to stay on the never-validated list I'm affraid :P But true, no point that the ones older than 6 months stay there so I'll clean them up |

Since the new, snazzy forum allows us to display unvalidated users, I cannot help but notice... there is a whole horde of them! And, to make matters worse, most of them registered quite a long time ago, too! Dunno, but it just feels... wrong... to keep accounts of people who "registered" well over a year ago and never bothered to validate them. Can anything be done about it? Like, automatic deletion of unvalidated accounts over 3 months old or something? I mean, all these accounts do is take up space in the database and login names that could be used by new users who actually make it through the oh-so-difficult (sarcasm) validation procedure. |
