Verification method impedes site operation
#1
@Nicholas
I can no longer post on the site or send messages due to a verification snafu while logged in.

This should only need to be done when creating an account.

Meassage received after rejection: "Too long..."

Why did I need to confirm my account when first established, why do I need my email or username to sign in, and why do I need a password to sign in? And why, after doing all of that do I need to be verified for every post, reply, and/or message while spending more time waiting for verification than the time it takes to submit content only to be told that the submission is invalid?

Edit: the perverse issue is that this post was accepted without that same verifcation process? Why? I readily assumed that it would also be rejected so now I will try again with fingers crossed to see if a message or reply is accepted without any verification.

2nd edit: After attempting various methods to post a reply I was forced to break it down into 5 sections (each section being of inconsistent length) with each entry being rejected or accepted regardless of whether it longer or shorter than the a previous entry. All sections were still parsed into the original post making one very long post as it would have originally appeared if accepted as a single submission instead of multiple submissions.
