I registered under a new handle with an Outlook/Hotmail address and belatedly learned that Tv Tropes has a strong filter against it because of spam. I can't re-register under a new handle but I can't access the new account because it hasn't been verified yet. Can someone help me with this?

What handle did you register under? We don't hard block accounts from Outlook and Hotmail addresses, but we do manually review them. It can sometimes be a while before one of us gets to it. All such account requests in the past few days have been approved.

Why do you want a new account, as an aside?

I made this account about two years ago when I first found this site (mostly to save my preferences). Now I want to change my handle before I actually edit and contribute to pages, but I learned that you can't do that without making a new account.

My new handle is supposed to be "lapistier".

This seems to be an email issue; your account shows up as "approved". Sure that you aren't blocking the email?

I approved it myself. Must be an issue with your email. We can ask the admins to check on our end, though.

Edit: I checked and the email was sent.

Thank you both so much, it worked! I had to mess around with my junk filter to get it to finally show up. Sorry for the confusion! ^^'
