Hello,

We get lots of questions about LibreOffice on our social media channels,
and I usually point people in the direction of Ask LibreOffice. However,
sometimes I get replies from people complaining that they have to
register for yet another service.

On this page (when logged out):

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/account/signin/?next=/en/questions/ask/

Underneath "Please click any of the icons below to sign in", could we
add a short line of text like so:

"(Registration is required as a spam protection measure.)"

Or something like that. What do you think?

I have seen this type of explanation text before, on other sites.  I do 
not remember what these texts exactly stated, but they used the 
registration to fight "spam" and "robo systems".


I remember a few years ago accessing a "help site" that did not have 
registration.  That site more spam than help.
