OMG, what is wrong!!

[tthe4]

i just want to say, that i have had to make like 5 email accounts just to get a membership here
i went through 5 before i found out gmailworked
and thats not all, when i was making it, i accidentally hit the younger than 13 thing, so i had to do the whole thing under a proxy
and im 17 by the way
how many 13 yearolds can use a proxy any how?
 soooooo, my point is, someone ought to make it at least a little easyer to make accounts here
your luck i really want to sell some rs accounts, so i was persistant and vigilant, others may not be so enthusiastic about it and give up

The COPPA thing (where it asks if you're under 13 or not) is a law here in the US, it's not something that we do just to irritate you.

As for email accounts, yes that's annoying but I'd rather have less users because of that, than more users but an even larger amount of spamming and scamming going on.
