Nonce
Do you have to use the word 'nonce'? In the UK, a nonce is a convicted paedophile - a habitual kiddyfucker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.172.157.90 (talk • contribs) 2007-04-05


 * What would be appropriate? I don't care for that rather obscure term either. -Amatulic 16:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Token would be appropriate. Confirmed opt-in generally works by sending out a token then receiving that token back. -24.1.246.216 05:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

E-Mail Authentication
E-mail authentication generally (at least nowadays) refers to domain-based authentication mechanisms such as SPF, Sender ID, DomainKeys, and DKIM. What is being called "E-Mail Authentication" here is actually generally considered address verification, address validation, or confirmation. 24.1.246.216 05:19, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Free optin resources
here's a free php optin download www. sendblaster. com/free-bulk-emailer-download/free-optin-formail-scripts-mailinglist-subscription/ wonder if it can be included in external links —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.223.28.52 (talk • contribs) 2008-01-24


 * No. There's nothing notable about that package versus any other package, therefore there is no reason for Wikipedia to highlight it above others. There's no reason to include the link other than promotion, and Wikipedia isn't the place for that. -Amatulić (talk) 22:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * it's a free resource for someone who wants to build an optin mailing list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.223.28.52 (talk) 13:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:NOT. External links are supposed to be used for articles that go into more detail on the subject matter or can otherwise not be put into the article, not for all companies/websites that may be related to the subject.   See the Open Directory Project for a place to list your website. Wrs1864 (talk) 15:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Inconsistent use of term 'opt in' vs. 'opt-in'
Can someone who knows which is preferred please make it consistent? Thanks. Siebrand (talk) 23:27, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not about preference, it's about context. If you need a verb to describe what people do, you say opt in, as in "The customer can opt in to receive texts." If you need an adjective to describe a service, you say opt-in, as in "The site provides an opt-in link."

Opt in email → Opt-in email – Spelling correction - in this title, opt-in is being used as an adjective, not as a verb phrase, thus the hyphen. Mild Bill Hiccup (talk) 15:28, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Support hyphen is required. Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Support - It's what's used in the article as well. Remember to change the first word of the article was well. --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 20:47, 16 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:HYPHEN. —  AjaxSmack   21:16, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Merge with
The Article Email marketing already has a section "Opt-in email advertising" on the same subject as this article. I'd suggest to merge Opt-in email into the Opt-in email advertising section of Email marketing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BerlinSight (talk • contribs) 15:29, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
