This could lead to some serious security risks, all you really have to do is set your login to stay logged into each of those sites and you won't have any issues once you register an account.

Not necessarily. If they are linked and a user is hacked, it would be simple to fix all of their accounts at once and catch the attacker, rather than trying to remember every location that could be at risk.

The point is though they will have access to everything and can cause more of an issue far quicker than gaining access to singular accounts.

You also have that many more people watching for their unusual behavior, and it only takes one of the many of them to stop the attack.

I don't see the problem creating an account on each of the forums... I never use any but this, as they're mostly full of nonsense, but it's not difficult to make an account and click the link in an e-mail...

Although I agree from a user's standpoint that it is not difficult to create accounts and verify by email, and that having accounts you don't need would be pointless...from a management standpoint, universalizing the system in a clean and appropriate manner would be something nice to see in our community, which presents itself as a world of its own already. Having a single account for everything you do would be a nice way of keeping things organized and easy, not to mention other things could be built on top of such a system.

Essentially, think of major websites online that have multiple services they use, like Google, or other professional websites that have attached forums, shopping cart systems, and other things going on. They merged the various systems into a single account system so that a user only needed to register and log in once to gain access to all of their stuff.

We don't have any "LAPD" or "LRPD" sites in Argo. Are you sure you're talking about the right community?

Do you possibly mean the ARPD site?

You had to find an e-mail address that we don't block. We block any temporary e-mail addresses (providers which grant access to an e-mail address for 5-10 minutes (to confirm registrations) and then never again), and those which allow spam registrations, blacklisted addresses from bots, etc.

All legitimate e-mail addresses (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, and many, many more) are not blocked.

On some levels the Argonath Network project (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=102579.0) may achieve some of this, in terms of unifying certain parts of the community?

I doubt you guys know about the Activation Mails are not sent nearly to no one, who enters, for me Main Site only didnt cause this problem, though FBI and ARPD forums all the time makes you get a manual activation by the high ranks of other forums. Now as I see some complaints, also main site (not sure however) causes people not to receive activation mail...

I cant say anything about mail owners, its their mistake and gotta find a solution though by the forums' side, IM repeating, I dont know about Main Site though its obvious there are some trouble on FBI and ARPD forums on sending activation mails. ^^

ARPD Forum isn't much of a issue, it gets checked on a daily basis any new accounts are activated and emails resent.  Maybe just disabling email activation for now until the issue is resolved would be a option to consider.

It is a known issue on most of the forums right now. The email servers are having intermittent issues.
