That isn't really the point.

BG-wiki includes an cumbersome, suspicious, and unnecessary step for account verification to dissuade registration and thus participation, and it works. Whether this is good or bad is a matter of perspective but the dynamic isn't mysterious or unexpected.

Is this guy for real or does he have me blocked?

There is literal proof of me making a brand new outlook email account, making a BG account through said email and making edits on the wiki with said account in 5 minutes.

The *** you mean "cumbersome, suspicious, and unnecessary step for account verification"? Email validation is standard practice on plenty of sites. Dudes just coming up with ridiculous excuses now.

Been discussed before. There are some "accepted" free email hosts that don't require discord verification.

Other free providers are not. Eg any email anonymiser services.

I could make an Outlook email just for Bg. I *want* to use my existing anonymised email service. I can't without going on a discord.

The other issue is you don't know which provider is accepted and which is not unless you try to sign up.

It's pretty simple really. Go sign up. Does it work? no?

Oh well, don't need a wiki account that bad.

Cest la vie.
