Do You Request Email Verification or Not?

[CNC Venture]

I have been thinking more and more that I might just skip the whole email verification process because I get emails everyday from people wondering how to verify their emails, or saying they never got the verification email and wanting me to resend it. It is driving me up the wall and I know that it probably leads a couple of people a day to go - "verify my email - stuff that - I can't be bothered."

I figured that I could just make mention of it in our forum's welcoming PM and I could periodically send out Mass PMs to try and encourage people to have their up to date emails.

So what do other people opt for? and what are the pros and cons of opting for each method?
