Require email address to register on Beta Cluster
Open, MediumPublic

Description

While I know it is a testing environment, the only ones that are really registering there are spambots, and they're really spamming. I suggest that we require an email address there to register and that it be confirmed afterwards before they can edit any page. Our volunteer time is better spent testing the software rather than going around cleaning the garbage they spread all over the beta cluster. Thanks.

Event Timeline

Theres some privacy implications here - one should not assume that an email address used at beta cluster is private.

Adding legal in case they have any thoughts on this.
