There are email activation methods but periodic re-activation by mail would be a painful thing for users. I certainly dont believe that you all post only in the a3 forums. Just imagine havin to re activate your accounts every month or so for each one of those forums.
Consequently we will implement a ban on such ID's from now on. I will update this on the Forum Rules as well. So, from now on anybody trying to add a post themselves to add an echo to their voice will have their account banned if found to be doing so.

I'M NOT SAYING THESE BUGGERS HAVE TO ACTIVATE THEIR ACCOUNTS PERIODICALLY.
LISTEN, ONE DUDE COMES ALONG, HE WANTS TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT, SO HE IS ASKED FOR A VALID EMAIL ID. THIS BUGGER WILL MOSTLY PROVIDE AN ID WHICH HE CONSTANTLY USES. SO THIS FELLOW GETS A NEW ID AND STARTS POSTING ON THE FORUMS. ONCE A WEEK THE FORUM AUTOMATICALLY SENDS A MAIL TO HIS PROVIDED EMAIL ID. IF THE MAIL REACHES HIS ID, THEN IT MEANS THAT THE PROVIDED ID IS STILL IN USE, BUT IF THE MAIL DOSEN'T REACH HIM, THEN IT MEANS HE DIDN'T CHK HIS EMAIL ID FOR MONTHS LEADING TO WHICH THE EMAIL SERVICE BLOCKED HIS ID AS IT WAS A WASTE OF SPACE.
THIS WAY, IF THE BUGGER KEEPS POSTING AND KEEPS CHKING HIS EMAIL ACCOUNT THEN HIS FORUM ID WON'T BE BANNED. OTHERWISE IF HE DOSEN'T CHECK THE EMAIL ID THEN AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME HIS FORUM ID WILL BE BLOCKED DUE TO LACK OF RESPONSE FROM THE EMAIL ID PROVIDED.
THIS DOSEN'T HINDER NORMAL LIVES, ONE ALWAYS KEEPS CHKING HIS EMAIL ID, GETS FREQUENT MESSAGES FROM A3INDIA, A3 CAN SUGGEST OR PROMOTE NEW EVENTS BY THIS, MORE PUBLICITY=MORE PLAYERS=MORE MONEY!
THE BASIS OF THIS IDEA IS THAT ONE WILL NOT KEEP 10-15 EMAIL IDS ACTIVE BY LOGGING INTO THEM ONCE IN A WHILE, HE MIGHT FORGET A FEW IDS AND SO ON.
THE DOWNSIDE OF THE IDEA, IS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO RARELY MAINTAIN A EMAIL ID, OR SIMPLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OTHER THAN START>SHUTDOWN OR START>PROGRAMS>A3INDIA. YEAH DUMBOS DO EXIST, BUT THEIR GAME IDS WON'T BE BANNED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ONLY FORUM IDS WILL BE.
THEN WHENEVER A FORUM ID IS BANNED THEN OBVIOUSLY THIS BUGGER WILL POST A COMPLAINT, AT THIS TIME THE FORUM ADMIN WILL CHECK HIS IP, IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE IDS THEN.......BAN BAN BAN
