Hi Minimum questions for sign up leads to more spammers........ no thanks! ;)
Malcolm, it is not my idea, it is a web trend and not very new. If you want users you don't slam them with official registration form used for Novell customers that among other things is asking for company they work for, and will not let you trough without it. Spammers are part of the game they are relatively small part of the population which is well controlled only if you have a lot of normal users as many eyes will spot a problem earlier when it is easier to fix it. I have quite good experience with on the wiki where wiki users were reporting spam. I didn't find it first. Also, complicated sign up form did not prevent spam on the wiki. Most likely spammers are more motivated to create login and post ads then normal users that want to fix problem or two in wiki pages. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
