It looks like a new account needs to be confirmed before one can log in. How often do the admins check for new accounts and confirm them? | |||
For new users it looks like they have to wait for the confirmation email which they have to use to activate the account. | |||

:Some admins check recentchanges frequently and should see the notices as soon as possible. As for the ones who can't get their email confirmed, you're right, it pisses them off. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 08:23, 21 September 2014 (UTC) | :Some admins check recentchanges frequently and should see the notices as soon as possible.

[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]], why is this of concern to you? You don't 'own' WikiIndex, and you have repeatedly stated you categorically do NOT want sysop rights! So why are you so concerned in how we (the <u>trusted</u> community of crats & sysops) operate our wiki? | |||
But for the sake of other folks who wish to become a harmonious part of our community, I'll add my two-pence worth to the correct (in parts) answer which [[YiFei]] has given. I personally check [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] many times each day during the periods I'm online, and will review any new account requests as soon as possible. The action banner appears for all new account requests, irrespective of weather their e-mail is confirmed or not. We also have the option to authorise new accounts, at our own careful discretion, even if their e-mail is not confirmed; though I'm not willing to describe such circumstances, to protect the integrity of the Confirm account system. As for the potential new account users being "pissed off" over a minor delay in confirming their account - well perhaps they should be a little more accomodating and understanding, and if not, then perhaps they don't belong on WikiIndex.
