Not having a valid copy of HL on a Steam account only means that they can't ask for support regarding ESF. They're fully entitled to be here, view POTW's, use other sections and the like.

But it only say you need to fill in an steam account.
Everyone can make 1 and use it without having HL on it.
I think it checks your account to see if you own HL1. The same method is used to download and upload stuff at garrysmod.org

Yeah I have figured that out as well :p
Well this is a good thing.
Maybe those pirates finaly realise they can better be legit :D.

Edit:

I still have a question about this tho.
This plugin works with an pulse??
Like it will check every hour or perhaps every day that HL1 is still there??

Otherwise its easy to borrow someones steam account so it looks legit.
And after that they still comming in with out having it legit and still gets support.

The verification process was painless.

What could it mean?
Code:
Query for validating users aborted: UPDATE command denied to user 'esf_validate'@'localhost' for column 'usergroupid' in table 'user'

It means the usergroup change has failed. It's a new feature that Skizer has implemented by suggested by me, but it doesn't seem to fully work. Thanks for the report :).

And I was worried that I won't be verified. :scared: But after this post I see that I am. ^_^

P.S. You're welcome.

I'm getting the SQL error that the others are seeing. Happens after I hit "Login" on the SteamCommunity page. It does not redirect me to the forums or anything after that error.

It looks like you need to add UPDATE permission to the MySQL user 'esf_validate' or simply use the MySQL user the forums typically use.

I've updated the main thread, will also add it within the news. This error will not effect your validation.. It just doesn't move your usergroup to the validation group. This issue will of course be resolved as soon as possible.

Well like to have that nice looking green V below my profile :D
Same as the whole idea behind this.

Keep it up guys and good luck on the last part with the validation group.
