Should I Enable Registration?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unfortunately, in this current release of MediaGoblin we are suffering
from spammers registering to public instances en masse. As such, you
may want to either:
a) Disable registration on your instance and just make
accounts for people you know and trust (eg via the `gmg adduser`
command). You can disable registration in your mediagoblin.ini
like so::
[mediagoblin]
allow_registration = false
b) Enable a captcha plugin. But unfortunately, though some captcha
plugins exist, for various reasons we do not have any general
recommendations we can make at this point.
We hope to have a better solution to this situation shortly. We
apologize for the inconvenience in the meanwhile.
