Today I configured the [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount]] to be minimally annoying i.e. It asks a person requesting an account only for user name, email address and a short message. Previously it required "Real Name" (and we've never had a "require real names" rule or guideline). | |||
Testing that it works I needed to solve the NO[[CAPTCHA]] many times and noticed how annoying and time consuming it is. This is hindering participation and a good strategy to minimize the annoyance caused by spambots while maintaining also minimum annoyance for genuine contributors.
