Increase in spam in the past few weeks
See original GitHub issueIt seems as if there is a lot of new spam coming in from people using Twitter (IIUC) to sign up for djangosnippets. I would suggest to increase the bar for submission by
- adding recaptcha
- allowing signup only for users with verified email addresses
- either via
SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION
(which would require a separate email verification upon signup via twitter and github) - and definitely
SOCIALACCOUNT_QUERY_EMAIL
and maybeSOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED
(which would make the whole thing required) https://django-allauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html
@carltongibson @felixxm @stephrdev Does anyone have some spare cycles to take a look at this?
