what a weird requirement

Yes. Just a bit of email address farming  Anyway, at least you gave me a reason to reply to a post and get another one in. In all seriousness though, I think they should reconsider the policy. It suggests they are either desperate for email addresses or they just want to be annoying

we've never once done a thing with our database of contacts or mailing lists in 10 years. This is to prevent leeching our bandwidth and growing a sports sim community, of which has always been in dire need.

tbh man I don't think this is the best way to do it. just clogs the forums with these type of posts. if people want to post on the forums, they will. no reason to force them to. it could end up turning people away from the game that dont want to confirm their email and all that (if that's required, i don't remember)

it's such a niche game i don't think you really have to worry about the internet sucking up all your bandwidth downloading it

I've been lurking for some time. Really like the community. But this requirement was a trigger to sign up, so I appreciate the thought behind, @Chris.

Here's my introduction post! Same as most people would do, I guess. Love Football Manager, and had no idea of this other world of GM games until now (12 years after I started playing FM). Excited to be here!

It is weird

It can be two things at once! It's definitely strange (read: new) to me, but if it helps grow a sim GM community as a whole, I'm all for it.

This policy probably does more good than harm as it gets more people involved.
