Restriction of post on new accounts?

Thanks @kersing
I hope I will get back my account soon :slight_smile:

Good luck with that, TTN is non existent (never answer emails sent to them…

TTN is providing a free service to a the community that requires significant resources. They are busy running the commercial operation thar funds the community resources.
And how many (mail) messages a day do you think 131 thousand+ TTN user can generate? That’s why there is a community forum where the community can support itself.

The account should be resolved, however with next week’s conference they pretty flat out on preparations.

I’m not fully ok with your statement because even for questions regarding websites that can’t be handled by community you never get any responses so for me sorry to say but it looks more like a company only dedicated at commercial operation and community is on its own !

The ONLY reason this community exists is because TTI take some of the profits they make and put them in to running the TTN network & application servers and all the ancillary activities that are required to support this.

The v2 stack & infrastructure is getting old and, yes, some support issues take time to resolve and one of the best ways to get the more pressing situations sorted is to communicate kindly on this forum and we can direct you to other ways such as Slack if it requires some back end work to be done by TTI or a moderator may be able to draw the issue to the attention of an appropriate staff member.

If you have some unfulfilled support issues, please search for an appropriate topic or start a new one. But please don’t be the ungrateful guest when the host is being so generous.

And in return, TTI get a worldwide demonstrator network that proves that the technology works, it promotes the technology, and establishes them as a market leader.

Is there any chance I can get in touch with someone who can fix my login problem with my original account? Otherwise I am forced to throw my gateways into the trashbin, right?
Or perhaps there is a way to re-register them in another account?
Please help and give advise.
Thanks
Dan

@KrishnaIyerEaswaran2 can you help?

So the issue is that email reset is not working?

Yes, details here: Restriction of post on new accounts? - #19 by lorawanbackup

Hi @ all with an interest in this subject !

Being an newbie myself I have had a super frustrating experience myself with this protective restriction. I can appreciate that Mods are concerned re time spend on spam removal etc BUT it almost feels as if this is to keep ppl away from the forum. The general attitude presented to me by reactions to my 1st question I asked was very kind and helpful but I felt an underlying “RTFM” attitude. Its a hobby among many others for me, its not realistic to expect ppl new to LoRa and/or TTN to dive deep in theory, ppl want to make stuff and see success, not frustration and failure.

Just my thoughts…
Respectfully

Thank you for your feedback.

It seems reading some documents and/or watching a one hour YouTube session on the technology is unrealistic. What is limit we need to keep in mind (in what amount of time should we assume people can spend to learn the basics)?
I assume we can agree people need some basic knowledge when starting with a new technology? I mean I can’t expect to buy random WAN equipment and be able to connect it and use it for a random use case without having at least basic knowledge about what is available and what it does, or can I?

I would use 3D printing as an example here, if that was left where it was 5 years back it would be pretty much the same experience as I have here. That has evolved to where the user was given the possibility to have reasonably good success without having to read heavily into it. But all of that needs people, and people (like me) get frustrated with simple stuff like this restriction.

After I clear the cookies for thethingsnetwork.org, I get this if I login.
The page “AWAITING EMAIL VALIDATION” comes up for a fraction of a second.
The GIF animation is in realtime speed. This happens on every browser on several windows 10 machines and on one ubuntu system I have.
Even if I am able to keep that VALIDATION page up, when clicking on “Request another one”, no email will ever arrive. Not in quarantine, not in spam.
Remember that I did make a new account called “lorawanbackup” and this one works perfectly.

PLEASE, can I have my account “lorawan at inthenet dot ch” with the two registred gateways back???

Can you change the EUI of the gateways - if so, probably far simpler to do that and re-register them than hope against hope that someone from TTI reads these and is actually able to change the things needed to give you access.

How do you even make a post?

@laurens @KrishnaIyerEaswaran2 Can you help this user?

Very meta!

You just did!

In lack of a better opportunity I write my question here totally off-topic.

I just joined the TTN-user-forum,
I confirmed registration
I earned a first batch “reading the guide-lines”

But still I can’t find a post a new thread button?
Does this require to registrate some device?
What If I have questions about registering a device?

So what’s wrong here? What do I have to do to be able to post my own questions?
best regards Stefan
