This is a website with games. I don't want to stop kids from registering here (unless they are not even 13 years old). There is no way to automatically stop younger people from registering though. ... and solving mathematical problems is clearly NOT a solution.

Also blocking IPs is pointless and bad. There are things called proxies. Also it's bad for scenarios like siblings or internet cafes or other kinds of public access points which might be used by different individuals to register.

We probably need a better 'kid detector' than that. I think the website should detect IP of the one trying to register so if it is already in use, if wouldn't allow him to register.

you can easily change ip via proxy or reconnect to internet (too slow)

@user Apache uwu: I extended it. You can now use keyofid instead of keyof if you want to use the ID instead of the user name.

I also added 2 new functions because I noted that you try to get the ID/user name by parsing a regular website which is a very dirty solution that will fail as soon as I change the website.

See http://www.unrealsoftware.de/dev.php

@user oxytamine: Some people obviously already found other ways to get account passwords for funny hijack action. So I'm very confident that this is not necessary anymore.

Good idea for Unreal Software API would be the following. There are two persons - one is admin, another one is client. Let's say that admin has a web-site which is related to Unreal Software in any way. He wants his users to verify their USGN IDs. Special link is being generated which sends client a message like "www.foo.bar wants to verify your USGN ID. If you didn't request anything from that web-site, ignore that message. Otherwise click "confirm" down below". That would be much better in my opinion.

You just confirm account ownership with the API. You don't grant any special permissions or anything. It's not necessary to make things more complicated as they are.

Wouldn't it be better when user:
1) Knows which web-site wants to verify his account.
2) For what (special message could be included).
3) Have possibility not to verify it (right now it verifies immediately when they click the link, isn't it?).
Not everyone is that experienced in the Internet - they can click this link just for a random stuff.

Stop spamming the smiley or you will get nice temp bans. It will not be removed.

@user oxytamine: It's not really a problem if another site manages to get to know that you are the real owner of a certain account. It also doesn't work that easily because you have to tell that site your username or ID first to make the whole concept work.
I'll add a confirmation and display the referrer anyways just to be safe. The additional message thing is not necessary though. The page that opens the link and where you enter your name/ID should tell you what all that is about.

Disable smilies in the settings so it will just appear while your reading as:

Etc.

Too lazy, no idea how to do it and I don't want to block every image. Just annoying smilies which are located here.

Not ridiculous at all.
