Can someone tell me why some people will put like "bcg with mail", "sct with mail"? What is the significance of with or without mail? Dont all trackers require an email address?

Most places allow you to change your email at anytime, however some trackers don't allow you to do this. This is to prevent trading of accounts. Whoever is in control of the email address typically has control of the account, ie password recovery. Because of scammers amongst traders they always prefer to have an account + email so they can be in full control of the account.
Ok this makes more sense now, but that would mean that some people are allowed to change their emails addresses at BCG while others are not?Quote:

If somebody wants to change their email address, has a valid reason and their ip address remains the same, then it might be ok to change. As for BCG ask stoi.
EDIT: Ah, too slow. ^ lol
so why would someone say "with mail"? :pinch:Quote:

@Argyle
I think that there's enough posts in this thread to make u understand wat 'with email' is. This is obviously the only thing people can give together with their account. N hence, this is why u don't see 'with IP' or 'with password' :P
aaaaah, that last little sarcastic remark actually made me get it...he's giving his actual email account WITH the site acc. I thought the mail part had something to do with the site tooQuote:

well i dont think so if some users got this option at bcg that they can change email , not sure about it..
No one can change their email, even staff cant change their own, someone higher up than them have to do it, if i want to change mine i have to do it in the DB. i cant do it from the site at all.
As previously said, in some tracker you can't change your email by yourself (ex: BCG)Quote:

If one is trading a site (where they can't change email) it is important to have email as well. If not, the original owner can always use 'forgot my password' and send new login info to his email.
Some sites can ban you for changing mail+pass so if you only change the pass nothing happens.
stoi lay off traders they all like you and fantasize about you in their dreams ..
Out of curiosity, exactly which sites prohibits email change? In this thread, I found BCG and SCT only.
or its risky to change the password + mail (sometimes = ban) so people want the mail to change only the password :)Quote:
