I thought this was a serious site and expected serious answers. After searching for "password" without any results or sticky related to the subject I decided to post.

I really like this website and I admire everyone of the community that made it possible. To be willing to be a part of it should be encouraged, not discouraged through fishing people into entering personal information without a license agreement or even a secure sockets website.

Posting this I suggest the rules of the profile page part of vBulletin board be edited to encourage a larger community with optional forms! I can understand birthday validation for teen/adult content games, but after checking the site I found that validation non existent.

I don't know about you but I don't like providing false information in forms to skip through security.

Kind Regards

Then you're not worth the trouble. You should not be on the internet first of all if you can't go over giving out false information.

I hope this thread will get closed fast. I'd hate to see this one turn into a newbie bashing thread again...

My dear, in teh internet world it's an obligation to protect yourself.
If you really willingly provide accurate personal information about yourself every time someone ask those from you, you gonna have troubles sooner or later.

I'm sorry that you both feel that way.

I did not find any useful information in this thread. Its a lot easier to explain the bug than bashing people unknowing of it.

Also. The name, birth and adress information are required by the Drupal database (responsible for the main site) rather than by VBulletin database. Otherwise I'd have fixed it already.
I've looked around the admin controls for the site a while ago, but could not find any way to make these fields non-mandatory. :notrust:

So we're stuck with it at least for the time being.

Aha I see that Studentis.com the Swedish company is supplying this service. http://www.studentis.com/?q=sv/node/22 The information was not apparent on the site I fear.



I sent the following message to the devs btw, hopefully this issue will be resolved soon I will update once I get any responses.

Greetings

Im not certain that you are aware of this issue but it is quite annoying
for new members of this great community. As a visitor I highly appreciate
all the work dedicated into this website and would like to eventually
contribute to it.

I ran across an error on the profile configuration on "my account" page.
http://www.abandonia.com/en/user/64078/edit

It appears that a lot of information is mandatory and that you need to
supply your real name and domestic address in order to change your
password.

Could you please update this section? I fear the issue may discourage
other interested contributors of the community.

I made a post on the forum concerning this issue here:

lol you for sure you are a newcommer. studentis are bunch of lazy *censore* who don't really care about our site. there are some bugs and as you see on design, the site developement stopped in the middle. we even had a thread with a studentis employee who encouraged us to start anti-studentis spree because he didn't get payed. and there is much more in this matter which is not for your ears, but we expect the situation to change by the end of the summer.

<rant mode>so will you fcuking, please, deal with it for now? thank god that not every newbie is like you or the other dude who started this "OMFG I HAV TA MAKE UP MY PERSANAL INFARMATION!!!111"</rant mode>

Welcome to the Internet.

I sent the following message to the devs btw, hopefully this issue will be resolved soon I will update once I get any responses.

We've been unsuccessful in getting any reaction from them to much more critical problems (a bug causing destruction of review text when attempting to translate it, for instance) for months. It's like we didn't exist.

They only reacted when the server went down, and only after we pointed it out to them. :notrust: After over a week, you'd think they'd have noticed it themselves...

If you have worked with web design you know this issue is easy to correct, but on the contrary its a major annoyance. If you really can't live together with people who wish to improve this site, please, write a suggestion thread to ban people who wish to improve it by tracking bugs.

In other words, please let people have their say. There is a site comments/suggestions forums after all, you don't need to read it if you don't have to.

Ill get up to date with this issue when I get a response. For the meanwhile I will have to be content with calling myself "Bigfoot" from the snowy mountains of "Kiruna" in Sweden :P

[_r.u.s.s.]

yes i'm a web dev. and it's not like we didn't want our site to get improved, it's just that we were trying for months and got tired of it, that comment about new thread about banning people was just awkward. but like i said this should change by the end of the summer

btw bigfoots are cool
