Email confirmation on register - yes or no?

[BassMan]

Hi forum admins and XenForo members!

Please vote on a simple poll (votes are not public!). I'm curious about what type of registration admins choose most.

Thank you for your vote!

Yes. Always. It makes so much more sense from a usability point of view - not even from a spam point of view. Just general usability.

If they do not provide a valid email, it will ultimately only cause confusion when they are expecting an email, e.g. they've Watched a thread or forum or when they need an email via the Lost Password process.

They might miss out on important communications from fellow members (Conversation emails) or admins.

I think a valid email is extremely important.

Made a mistake and set to see votes public. This thread can be lock, I've created another one here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/email-confirmation-on-register-yes-or-no-not-public.79367/

Sorry for that.

I have edited the poll to remove the public vote option and closed the other thread.

Thank you all who vote till now. It looks like more admins like the email confirmation.

Well, let's continue voting...

I don't think continued voting will change the result...
