I changed my email to a Yandex one since the old Gmail one (which I changed itself from one I more commonly used) but then the KF system said that Yandex was on a spam list and wasn't allowed.

You don't have to imagine it. At some point we had 50 users with .edu* and 1 with .gov*. I sent a mass email to all those addresses telling them they had to change their mail within a week or I would blank their email in the database and lock their account. All but 2 .edus did

Didn't @yawning sneasel originally have a .edu account, or did I imagine seeing that thread?

Wouldn't the college toss the one using their internet for a "hate site"?

The fact steam login would fail for me even if i typed credentials AND steam guard key correctly on any site that had it merely integrated, and wasn't the steam community site itself, was enough of a red flag to not even bother with it here. It's just unusable sometimes, and valve support is approaching google in terms of being unreachable.

Every so often I look to convert the accumulated cruft in my steam inventory to something usable(I've got at least $5 worth), but it's all such dumb stuff that nobody on my friends list wants it, and all the trading websites are practically unusable. At least the market meant I could dump 99% of it.
 
Please add Gravatar integration next, so new users can get a proper Avatar (hopefully their faces) by default.

I am one of these users who didn't actually have a plan set in place for when something like this would happen - My actual account is @Mettaton EX, but due to the fact I never actually considered adding proper credentials, I'm now basically locked out of my main account with no way of getting back in, as attempting to log in through steam throws up an authentication error.

I'm pretty dumb, I know. My email associated with my Steam account (which is associated with my main account here) is one I check very often, but I'm not sure how much use that is when I exclusively logged in with Steam to access my main.

Over the course of my time as a user here I've noticed sometimes that duplicate accounts have been merged with their associated main one before, would that be an option here?

Actually, I used steam log in when I used to play GMOD a few years back. It was pretty helpful if I wanted to see a servers site and didn't have to do a full sign up. It's still surprising it's being used.

All those stickers and private conversations about speds, gone, like tears in the rain. Time to die.
