Prevent fake accounts #21

Closed olafgrabienski closed 5 years ago

olafgrabienski commented 5 years ago

There are many fake users creating accounts on the localization server, and between them, legitimate user accounts are barely visible. So, let's prevent fake users from creating accounts.

Tasks:

To prevent new fake accounts, I suggest to install and configure the Honeypot module (see issue #24). If that doesn't help, my favourite is Captcha plus Captcha Riddler.

Today I've deleted about 300 fake accounts.

Honeypot has been installed and enabled on 11 January 2019 (and configured to protect all forms of the site). Let's see if it does the job to prevent illegitimate user accounts.

Closing the issue which should be reopened if needed.
