When are the changes going to go through?
And what is the solution to the lack of bureaucrats to accept account requests?
OK, we need to ensure there is at least bureaucrats on each wiki (they can be the same person) who can do a weekly look at applications. Between the group, that should give us decent coverage.
1) are there any wikis who dont have anyone besides me (bigred)?
2) does any current admin want bureaucrat rights to do the weekly sweeps?
Timing wise - I have added the update to registration to our list of site jobs, but there are a couple of other jobs in front of it right now. It will be a few weeks.

Did you also put for fixing the emails in outlook being classified as spam and the problem with the invisible ad bar at bottom of the lexi?
Working as a system engineer with specialisation in corporate mail systems, I can tell you, preventing a classification as SPAM is sometimes very hard. Nearly all mail providers, or administrators, or mail programs use an own kind of spam defence configuration. Finding a way to get clean through them all is nearly impossible. In this cases you need redefining the sending mail servers configuration mostly all time someone says "your mails are marked as spam in my app". In most cases it isn't a problem of the sending mail server but a misconfiguration of the receiving anti virus (with anti spam) and the mail program.

The problem isn't really that the mails are classified as Spam, the problem is that outlook automatically deletes them unless you specifically say Bols mail is a safe one and even then it's not guaranteed that you will receive them. It doesn't send to garbage or spam folder, it just deletes them.
This counts to the category of a to strong set junk mail filter, depending only on safe lists. Automatically deleting mails is always a poor choice. You can try some other settings like Microsoft described here: [URL="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Change-the-level-of-protection-in-the-Junk-Email-Filter-e89c12d8-9d61-4320-8c57-d982c8d52f6b"]https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Change-the-level-of-protection-in-the-Junk-Email-Filter-e89c12d8-9d61-4320-8c57-d982c8d52f6b[/URL]
I don't now the inner workings of Lexicanum mailflow, but the following things I can read out of the header and MXTOOLBOX.com:
1. You are sending: envelope-from="[email protected]";
2. But the following mail server makes the connection: Received: from belloflostsouls.net
3. bolsinteractive.com and belloflostsouls.net have different MX-records
4. None of both domains have an SPF-Record in their dns-entries.
There are a few things the mail admins of BOLS can do:
1. You can check the domain configuration and decide for one mail domain.
2. You can introduce SPF-records to better the SPAM-ranking.

I think we should add a password section to the registry menu to bypass all of these problems with emails not being received.
EDIT: Is it possible to change a default position in the preferences from activated to deactivated after creating an account? I think having the "Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is changed" maybe why the email was automatically sent to be erased in the first place.
