A bit paranoid (email related)

your old email id still stays on their db.
if you get your '[email protected]' email id changed to '[email protected]', the system would log it as: email id changed from '[email protected]' to '[email protected]' on 'date' by 'name of staffer'. So,it'd hardly make any difference.
Be careful about using your 'other' email id in the future whenever you signup to any site.
Wow 7 accounts seems a little excessive
unless you are doing a ton of stuff besides p2p which makes sense. I guess the good part about Gmail at this point is that it is not as "social" as say Hotmail or Yahoo which has this profile and wants you to link your other sites via apps to it and what not, sounds like a bad idea to use such personal addresses in something like p2p.What I am actually doing right now though I just making a dummy account on my webserver that has SendMail and Roundcube. The domain is whois protected and I plan on getting rid of it eventually anyways so I don't expect many problems there.
As far as I know, they implemented it around July 2009, at least for my country.
I got it for the first time a couple months ago when I was creating a new Gmail address. As far as I know, it only happened after I failed the image test ~5 times in a row/pressed a couple wrong buttons. When you do something odd/screw up a lot it probably gets suspicious and triggers something.
I'm guessing if you're using a proxy/creating multiple accounts within a short time frame (making it think you might be a bot) it'll get on your nerves.
It certainly doesn't happen to me on a regular basis, though.

Use a GMail account from now on instead of your .edu address. If you're registering on an open tracker just to check it out, have a look at this:

It should work on most of them, but you'll probably want to use a GMail addy for those. :happy:
Pretty strange, considering I very rarely use e-mail, in general. However, last time I tried to make a GMail account, it did make me type the captcha a lot of times for absolutely no reason, before redirecting me to the SMS confirmation screen. I guess Google just doesn't like me :idunno:
SMS confirmation
Everyone says they aren't asked to do it, but I am! :dabs:
Yeah.. at first it wasn't there. But from last 5-6 months, its been coming (maybe). I've used up all the cellphones in my home..

GMail has had SMS confirmation for as long as I can remember...although I've only had experience with GMail dating back to late 2007.

Maybe some staff from a certain tracker has sent your details to google. They are very powerful people. :yup:
You've just given the term "global ban" a new meaning. :lol:
