(Please correct Subject in:
After registration you can change your email address in profile, without any control).

So, if a member after registration changes his email address in profile with a false email, what can we do?
If a member sends offensive posts or emails to other members, he is not responsable in any way, because his email is not his email.
Why don't repeat the same email verification process, if a member after registration changes his email ?

Are you talking about them changing their password or their email address?

What he meant was..

User Bob registers with his email of bob@yahoo.com
which we know is valid because he used the link to verify his account.

Now bob has gone in and changed his email from bob@yahoo.com to xzy@zzzz.com something that is not valid. Bob now can access the site and we would have no way to email him.

What we are asking for is inorder to change your email, it would then send a new confirmation mail to the new email. That way we know the new email is valid also.

That makes sense and is a great idea!

Let the guys get out V2.0 (real soon) and then we can work on a list for the next version or maybe after it's out someone can make a hack for it!
