1. It ended up in your junk or spam folder, please look there to see if it's in there.

2. You did not enter your correct email address.  Please register with a new username and the correct email address and try again.

3. Your IP address and or your Email Address is listed in the Stop Forum Spam (spam protection) database as a known spammer and when either your IP address and or your email address appears in that database, your account can not be approved.  As such if you are a spammer, please move along, our community is too small for you to bother with.  If you are NOT a spammer, contact the owners of Stop Forum Spam and get your information removed from their database and register a new account.

No, not currently.  I had that feature turned on on the CivCity: Rome site and people found it too confusing, and they either emailed me asking why their thread was locked or that they had inadvertantly deleted it and wanted to know if I could restore it which made more work for me early on over at the CivCity: Rome forums, so i turned it off and never turned them back on because of this.

The other problem is that when someone deletes their own message that is involved in a topic, it can often confuse others because someone may have replied somewhere down the line in the topic and then people get confused on what they are replying to.

Best case is to just erase your message and put something like "delete thread" in the body of the message as well as in the topic too (if you can) so that way it's virtually gone, and may be seen by myself and I'll know to delete it if it's the only message in a topic thread.
