I think the mods can see if your account has a verified email attached to it though? At least it seems like subs can choose to not let unverified accounts post.


Yea, you cannot post in /r/news for instance without a verified e-mail. Automod will remove your posts/comments.

I don't know what they think they are accomplishing since burner e-mails are trivial, but perhaps it gives a semblance of doing something.


Anyone can see if an account is email verified. It shows up as a "trophy" in the account info page.
