(RESOLVED) Forum Spam & Verifying Email Issues

I have implemented strong verification measures to combat the recent spam we've been seeing in the forums (RE: https://kandipad.com/forum/announcements/spam-in-the-forums-15231813). One of these measures was the required verification of email addresses to participate in the forum. However, It has come to my attention that for one reason or another some users are unable to verify their email addresses. Because of this I have removed the verification requirement. That being said... The measures I have put in place to prevent spam appear to be working well now, but if the spam we have been seeing the past couple days, and especially earlier this morning continues I will be forced to reimplement the email address verification. **EDIT:** I have reimplemented email address verification *for new accounts only*. Email verification for the forum can be bypassed by having enough proven activity throughout the site and/or high enough KPXP. I appreciate the understanding and love you all ✌️ Thanks, Derek

Unity is our strength: We value inclusivity and celebrate the diversity of our members. Regardless of background, beliefs, or interests, we come together through our shared appreciation for the Kandi culture and the spirit of connection. Let's build bridges, not walls, and learn from one another.
Respect is our foundation: We treat everyone with courtesy, consideration, and honor. This includes listening actively, acknowledging different perspectives, and refraining from personal attacks, harassment, or any behavior that diminishes another person's worth. Respect extends to privacy, boundaries, and the creative expressions shared within our community.
