!!Registration Policies

* To register, you must provide an email address. An email will be sent to that address to confirm your registration. You must click on the link in that email, or paste it into your browser, to activate your account.
** We '''do not''' permit "disposable" email addresses to be used for registration. If we determine that you have used one, your account may be blocked without notice.
** If you do not immediately receive a registration email, your account may have gone into an approval queue because it triggered one or more of our security checks. A moderator will review the request and approve or deny it. If it is approved, the registration email will be sent. This process may take up to 24 hours, so please be patient.

* Your handle may only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and certain limited forms of punctuation.
** If your handle doesn't start with a letter or contains any punctuation other than a hyphen (-), you will not be able to create a Tropers page for yourself.
** Certain types of punctuation will also prevent anyone from sending you a private message. If you have a handle like this, we may request that you make a new account, and/or block your account.
** You cannot change your handle once you have created your account. We cannot transfer history, [=PMs=], or any other data between accounts.
** We're sorry, but we don't currently support diacritics or any other non-English characters in handles.

* By registering, you understand and agree that any IP address you use will be logged and may be employed by us to establish your account's identity.
** The use of anonymizing proxies or any other attempt to conceal your IP address during registration will result in your account being blocked if detected.
