This covers several mail (and support) related issues and is important. Please read it. ALL OF IT. I didn't type it for fun, love (unfortunately), or money.
For people with short attention spans, the four points are:
1. Don't use Hotmail accounts when registering here.
2. Don't contact admin@slacked.org, or <random-staff-nick>@slacked.org, or abuse@slacked.org for RMXP support, it's for IRC/hosting support.
3. Don't mark RMXP mail as spam, ever. Get someone to delete your account instead.
4. Don't use bogus email addresses when registering.
I've tried everything under the sun to get Hotmail to stop sending Slacked/RMXP mail straight to the Junk folder, including signing up for their Sender ID program. Nothing works. Unless you're all willing to donate thousands of dollars so we can bribe Hotmail to accept our mail through their bulk sender program we're out of luck.
Note: Everyone else, including AOL and Yahoo, do not have issues with our mail. Just Hotmail. (So far anyway)
Therefore, please do NOT use Hotmail to sign up for an account here. If you do and it doesn't work, don't whine at me about it. You can use anything except Hotmail and it will (generally) work, if it doesn't you can scream at me and I'll try and fix it if I can.
Please do NOT contact admin@slacked.org about issues with validating your RMXP account. Or anything else related to RMXP.org, it's not there to field support requests for RMXP - it's there for IRC and hosting related stuff.
If you haven't got your validation mail and you signed up using Hotmail, check your Junk folder. It's in there. If it isn't, complain to Hotmail, not me.
If you register, please don't use bogus email addresses. It won't work. You need to use a valid email address so that you can receive the message which contains the validation url. If you're worried about privacy, use a freemail account (except for Hotmail obviously). If you're really paranoid, it's simple - don't create an account.
One other thing - do NOT EVER, EVER mark RMXP mail as spam, if you do you will be hunted down and subjected to shadow singing non-stop for the next 365 days. If you do this on a platform like AOL's you may cause our mail to AOL to be tempfailed for a day or two, this really inconveniences everybody else and makes our lives generally more difficult.
We have an scomp feed through AOL (they tell us when our mail gets marked as spam), if you mark RMXP (or Slacked) mail as spam, we'll know about it and we'll remove your account - not maliciously (er.. honest), we'll assume you don't want any further mail from RMXP. Signing up to RMXP and marking your welcome message as spam is just a non-application of brain cells. Please use your brain.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
