HUZZAH! Banned from Rentech.com!
Inge:
There's nothing abnormal in expecting people registering to post on a forum to have registered with valid email addresses? Most forums require it. MTS2 certainly do. I mean it's not like you need to register at all if you only want to read or download.
If you don't want to give your real email address, then don't. It just means you can't post messages. Is that really such a loss? You still get access to the downloads.
I really cannot believe this thread is still churning on and on. Anyone would think you have to choose your favorite forum and only use files from that one site, all the debate going on over it.

There's nothing inherently ABNORMAL, other than the fact that it represents an abrupt policy reversal and the timing of the move is awfully fascinating, especially given the curious rationalization of it.

I have had problems downloading / seeing photos when not registering.
I thought this thread was about MAKING FUN of illogical behaviour, considering that Rentech will probably NOT change her opinion?
Fear leads to hate, hate leads to anger, and anger leads to suffering. Paranoid is bad! (Insert 'mkay here! ;D)

It is. Inge is just missing the point. I thought the entire "HUZZAH!" part gave it away.

Well, my email address is valid, respectable, contains mny full real name, is accepted at a large number of sites including MTS2 , and SimFreaks, where I have been a moderator for some time (can't remember now how long), VS emails are not considered SPAM by my email program, yet I (A) received no notification of any revisions, and (B) still receive notifications of threads I've subscribed to.
If you want to ban people, fine, if you want to limit their activities, again fine, but at least have the good manners to inform them of this, and to let them know what they have done to deserve it! If you can't do this, you shouldn't be running a market-stall, let alone an internet forum.
