Alt/hydra account activation problems? Post here!

[Mr. Flay]

Anyone with a red name will do. If you put in the correct password for your main when asked, this shouldn't happen though.

Nevermind, for once it actually was throwing the spammer flag correctly. But I've activated the account in question.

Thanks!.

Are there requirements for having an alt? Just wondering since I didn't see anything anywhere else. It said the admin needs to approve and I don't want to get rejected because I'm new.

Go to the furthest McDonald's that is within the county limits. Wait three days for a small bearded Nordic man to enter and order an Oreo sundae (NOT a McFlurry). Offer to pay, then follow him to his car. Await further instructions.

Note: It is vital that you not leave the McDonald's during the three day wait.

[Psyche]

I once left the McDonalds during the 3 day wait.

It turns out that the Nordic Man uses those 3 days to ogle you through the windows.

[Mr. Flay]

You just didn't flag it as a personal alt/put in the password for your main. Approved now.

Thanks.

First, thank gooooodness I remembered about this hydra..

Okay. I'm just making a mess of things. In a thread under "Site Ideas" called "More Phone Compatibility", Glorckat gave me some suggestions with how to get replies on here directed to my phone instead of my email. I figured out what my phone's email address was, so I got rid of my usual email address and replaced it with the phone's. I got a text, but it only sent me half of it - the half without the activation link/code. I tried resending it and I got the same thing. It won't let me log back into my main (TraceyLyn11) because it needs to be reactivated. So I tried making a post here, but it said I needed to wait for confirmation from an administrator. Of course I'm impatient, so I tried making two accounts (one under and alt and one under a main).

Could someone get rid of the current email address I have set up for TraceyLyn11 and replace it with my old one (I can PM an administrator who responds to this). And deleting the two accounts I made would be awesome ("Triceratops" and "MafiaChick").

Gaaaah.

Reactivated your account and changed your email back to its old one. You can probably reach me faster in scumchat next time, I know you've been in there before.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! And scumchat hasn't been working for me either. Anytime I log on, no one else is there. I blew it off the first time as me just getting on at a point where no one else was, but I tried it twice more and it still didn't work. I did just reinstall AIM. Is there a certain version I need?

[TraceyLyn11]

Now it won't stop sending me texts about PM's I get even though that's not the email address I'm using anymore and even though I changed back to "do not notify me of new PMs" in the control pannel. Help?

When getting into the room, exchange needs to be 5, not the default 4. That may well be what you are doing wrong.

newest aim can't use exchange 5 either. Try something like pidgin.

[TraceyLyn11]

The scumchat must have been a fluke - it's fine now. Thanks though!

One last question. I made a hydra account under the name "Charizard". It said it had to be activated by an admin (I wasn't sure whether to do main or alt for hydra; I ended up doing main). I already /in'd it for a game. The game just got full, but the account is still not activated (nor have I gotten any form of notification about activating it). Could someone activate it, please?

After that... I think everything is in order! Thanks again for your help Chamber and Tierce!

[Mr. Flay]

Who is it a hydra with? PM me if you don't want it to be public knowledge.

Chamber already set it up and knows. Thanks though!

[goodmorning]

Accidentally registered as a main and am therefore having the usual problems.

[Mr. Flay]

Marked as alt and activated.

[goodmorning]

Thanks.

I PMed Flay this, but I'm also gonna post it here in case someone else can get to it faster:

Pie and I have an alt/hydra account by the name of adorkable, and it has been spamming me emails whenever a new post is made in a topic we're subscribed to, so I just changed the email to another account that doesn't forward to my phone.

Problem is, now it's deactivated until we accept a reactivation email (which I didn't realize was going to happen)... which for some reason I'm not getting even though I told the site to resend it. And we're in a game on that account that could start any hour now...

Could you pretty please manually reactivate the account for us? Thanks so much! <3

[Mr. Flay]

Fixed.

[esuriospiritus]

Thanks <3

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could close this account. I'll never be using it since it was to get my other account. I don't want to take up a nickname if I don't have to, thanks.

Hi I tried to make an account on mafiascum but it appears my "IP is malicious" due to the auto-forum-tracking bot



Could I be able to make an account and join some games in the queue?

[chamber]

Activated.
