Need some way to authenticate user listings. #4

Problem

Just 8 hours since the launch of the website, there are already two fake/prank listings (see listings 4 and 5). This one has a fake email id and no mobile number, so you can't identify the person who put this up in order to warn/ban them.

Solution

I think it would be better if creating a listing requires an account linked to your NISER email id (like what is required for NISER Archive). This would prevent anonymous listings like those mentioned above and ensure accountability.

While an authentication/moderation system is planned to be implemented some time in the future, it was my expectation that people will get bored and stop posting prank listings in a few weeks' time. In the mean time, I am monitoring the page and removing any listings that don't have proper contact information.

We also need to send an official mail from coding club mentioning that those who have already sold their items can mail us to mark their items sold.
