Unactivated???

[BlackBetty]

I was surfing the fourms and I found someone on P101 that had a avata of a smiley and it's face said "Unreg". And then the subtitle to it's name was "unactivated member".

What is that??

When you join, a confirmation link is sent to the e-mail address you registered with. You click on this link and you are an official member of the forum.

How can you say that? (im guessing you saw a post with it as someones avatar) It would mean the same thing as what happened with Jared (This is a link to a thread about it) (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=63449)

Ok, but the person had 60 something posts. So he must of confirmed or something or they wouldn't had been able to post.

Ah so I'm right :) Its like being banned, but different some how. I'm not sure how. Maybe one of the mods will explain, what being "unregistered" means.

YAY!! A mod is online!

Matt was pretty much right.
When you join VT you are unactivated or unregistered until it is confirmed by e-mail.
However admins can also manually check someone as unactivated or unregistered and all this does is removes the perks of being a member yet still being able to use the forums. So no posting, yet can still view the forum.

There may be some other things...I think I got it right, should wait for Ant to make sure

Ok, I will wait and see what he has to say. This is like the second time i've seen something like this and I goto wondering...

[Antares]

In fact, I have the answer for you.

If you change your email address you go back to being considered unactivated until you confirm your new email.

Ohhhh.. I understand it now.

Thanks Ant and Mercury.
