I like the idea of manual activations. How they'd work needs to be thought out still. As someone can't use both e-mail and, since his account is not activated yet (well, if you register, not the e-mail validation after changing one's e-mail address or password) it should probably use something like a mail form or report button.
I also thought it would be good to send out validation e-mails when someone changes his password or e-mail address. This because I'm all too familiar with people who forget their password and their e-mail address is invalid and we get to fix it for them. But with these validation e-mails it wouldn't disable their account but it would nag them in doHeader().
