Your post makes no sense to me, since you're complaining about something a server you claim to be 'really not that interested' in. Why would you even care if they require some kind of e-mail from you, why would you tell them what to do or not to do when you barely have any interest in the server at all?
Honestly, your reasoning makes no sense, the server is trying to help you out by making sure you can recover your account in the event of it getting hacked, with ANY mail you want and you still complain. Yet when you were to get hacked after spending hours and hours of playing on a server you would be interested in (whether that be this one or any other server) and required help in getting it back, you'd ask for that as well.
By doing it this way, the staff ensures that everyone has a way of retrieving their account by themselves, instead of having to handle complaints of people that got hacked manually. Besides the account creation taking a little bit longer, there's no real downside to this system.
At least you're using some arguments now.
So, first of all, I found out about this server about 20 minutes ago and it caught my attention so I wanted to give it a try. I wasn't tracking the development or anything so my attitude was like "maybe I'll like it, maybe not, let's check it". That's what I mean by "not being interested". You're saying that I'm posting negative stuff here, I don't think so. After using the site I just shared my feedback about it, it's nothing bad if you ask me.
Now, about the "ensuring everyone has a way of retrieving their account". It's not really true. People who don't want to provide real address will just create an temp account, which in many cases is even less secure than no email at all. If someone gets hacked or forgets his password he'll learn to provide his email address next time, and if you're confident about keeping your credentials secure then that also should be an option.
Lastly, let me ask you one question, do you think it's better to make someone quit the server even before logging in because he wasn't really that interested in it instead of making it easy for him to experience the cool things about it, which would make him stay for longer? Look around the web or mobile apps and you'll see that more and more developers introduce ways of testing their software even before making an account because that's how you get new users, it's the same with open servers.
EDIT:
@mich3208 I'm not going to post another reply as I've already stated everything I wanted to.
I didn't elaborate in my first post as I thought it wasn't needed, enforcing a security standards on end users is a pretty common topic. Now I see that it was needed after all, as you still seem to miss the point but it really turns out to be a waste of time. The temporary email can be dangerous because depending on service you choose there may be an option to manually enter the address you want to use, so if the retrieving process includes an information about the address which was used to make the account it can be easily accessed. Also, I wasn't talking about letting people play without an account (however it wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion if introduced correctly).
