Getting Started
Anyone can read the news, the forum and the polls on demostatics.com without an account. An account is needed to take part — to post, comment and vote — and to open the Database and Reports.
Create an account
Section titled “Create an account”- Choose Sign up in the top bar.
- Enter your name, email address and a password.
- Confirm the password and submit.
Your password must be at least 12 characters long and contain upper- and lower-case letters, a number and a symbol.
Verify your email
Section titled “Verify your email”After signing up you receive an email with a verification link. Open it to activate your account. Until your email is verified you can sign in and read, but you cannot:
- create posts or polls, comment, or vote;
- open the Database or Reports.
If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder, then use Resend verification email on the page shown after signing in.
Sign in and reset your password
Section titled “Sign in and reset your password”Use Log in in the top bar. If you forget your password, choose Forgot your password? on the sign-in page and follow the link sent to your email. Resetting your password also signs you out of the Demostatics apps, so anyone who knew the old password loses access.
Your profile
Section titled “Your profile”Open Profile from the account menu to:
- change your name or email address (a new address has to be verified again);
- change your password;
- delete your account. This is permanent and cannot be undone.
Contact us
Section titled “Contact us”To reach the team, follow the instructions on the contact page. We ask that you write from a business or organization email address; messages from personal addresses (Gmail, Yahoo and similar) are not answered there. Once your address is verified we reply with the phone number and postal address to use.
