Verifying user accounts #44

Open rossjones opened 10 years ago

rossjones commented 10 years ago

Currently a user can register (and they are doing, in droves - https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-datahub/issues/43#issuecomment-31113515) and then start using the site.

As spammers have now started using user profiles to display their undesirables wares, we need a way to stop this. Perhaps requiring verification of their email would be one way of doing this?

See #59

@rossjones I'd say this was number one - is there anything planned in ckan core on this?

rossjones commented 10 years ago

No idea if anything is planned, although it is at https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1535 and seems like it would be popular.
