Several times per week, we check for new registrations to validate them.

Two objectives

• Help integrate new community members
• Avoid spammer and scammers
• Improve registration and spam prevention process and features -> Spam Protection & Registration

Flow

1. User self-registers at tiki-register.php
2. User validates email and Community Team approves registration (not sure which order)
   • [https://tiki.org/tiki-adminusers.php?find=&search=Find&numrows=50&filterGroup=&filterEmail=&filterNotValidated=on&sort_mode=login_asc|All user that are "not validated"
3. User receives confirmation email
4. User participates to the community

How to detect spammers

• Google their email and/or username
• Check if their SourceForge.net username checks out. Ex.: http://sourceforge.net/users/arion92fr/ Make sure to put all in lowercase.
• Read their description
• Send them a private email
• Check out their domain name
  • If it's a free email hosting, it's a higher chance of spam
    • hotmail
    • gmail
