User Management App

[probably-not-a-cat]

To manage users.

I'm not sure if I get this issue. Is there a reason we need to manage users now? Or even ever? What problem would we have that we can say "Having Users would fix this problem".

User management can be done through the admin interface if we need something. I see no real benefit from having a separate app for it.

Not sure if you were part of the talk on the dev channel, but we are planning on users as a way to avoid bots and trolls.

Having it as an app would allow use to manage users in one place. (What roles can be assigned, reports, flags, adventures added, history, username, history, last logged in, etc). That sounds like it warrants it's own app. Do you still think differently?

Also, to answer my own comment (the 2nd one in this thread) this is my list of pros and cons of users.

Pros

• Easier to stop trolls
• Easier to stop bots

Cons

• Less user friendly
• More dev work
• Storing hashed passwords and emails is a responsibility
• User may not trust us with log in information

We are only requiring users that added/edit adventures info to have to sign up. So I don't think it would be that unuser friendly. As the fact that Matt would back this website probably would allow users to trust us more with their login info.
