Also blocking IPs is pointless and bad. There are things called proxies. Also it's bad for scenarios like siblings or internet cafes or other kinds of public access points which might be used by different individuals to register.

We probably need a better 'kid detector' than that. I think the website should detect IP of the one trying to register so if it is already in use, if wouldn't allow him to register.
you can easily change ip via proxy or reconnect to internet (too slow)
Step 3, accept usernames or ids.

Logging POST variables would be even more awesome (access to passwords and private information, woah!).
I also added 2 new functions because I noted that you try to get the ID/user name by parsing a regular website which is a very dirty solution that will fail as soon as I change the website.

@ oxytamine: Some people obviously already found other ways to get account passwords for funny hijack action. So I'm very confident that this is not necessary anymore.
1) Knows which web-site wants to verify his account.
2) For what (special message could be included).
3) Have possibility not to verify it (right now it verifies immediately when they click the link, isn't it?).
Not everyone is that experienced in the Internet - they can click this link just for a random stuff.

Ignore all the other ideas in this thread, and let's focus on this solely.
@ oxytamine: It's not really a problem if another site manages to get to know that you are the real owner of a certain account. It also doesn't work that easily because you have to tell that site your username or ID first to make the whole concept work.
I'll add a confirmation and display the referrer anyways just to be safe. The additional message thing is not necessary though. The page that opens the link and where you enter your name/ID should tell you what all that is about.

I love this. Those smiles are so annoying.
Just trying to show him how these "smileys" are annoying. Yes, it'd be awesome if we could disable them.
Not ridiculous at all.
