A friend has been trying to make an account, but hasn't gotten a confirmation e-mail. I ran into similar issues where I had to resend it a few times and wait awhile for it. Any advice on what to do?

A friend of mine tried to make an account at your forum but he didn't received any verification mail from you. When he later managed to make an account, you immediately banned him for "spam". And he used well-known emails like Yahoo and Gmail. What gives!
