How to enable Email verificatiion

? Offline

@a_5mith is there a hellban plugin yet?
If not seems simple enough to create once user permissions progress a bit.

I've enabled email verification through the admin panel - though I haven't verified if users can post without verification or not. I'll give ti a quick test.

In the mean time:
Admin > General Settings > User >"Require Email Confirmation"

I cannot find that option. Early adopter of 0.4.3 . I see " Allow local log in " though.

I have it installed. But friends complained that they were not able to register. So had to put it down. No way to delete bots as a whole as well. Q & A would have helped, I guess. Now clicking rows of bots one by one and deleting them.

@meetdilip Not sure when this option was added, might be after 0.4.3 stable.

@a_5mith then would running commands to update to the latest commit solve the matter for @meetdilip ?

Ah ! Don't mention it. If not for @a_5mith , my site would be down trying to use the latest version.

@Albus Texhnically, yes. But that depends on whether he wants to risk running on master branch (not recommended for a live environment).

However this guide outlines the upgrade process. However with 0.5.0 just around the corner, it may be more beneficial to wait until then for the stability.

Yep, it too am waiting for 0.5. Hope whoever is behind this bot attack will help us build a good antispam system.

@a_5mith Thanks for such a thorough answer, and the advice. This even answered a question I had earlier today as well.
