"A vote should be a last resort anyway. We should discuss things and try to reach a consensus. "
True, but arguing in #habari we didn't seem to reach a consensus and people asked for a vote. And given that many responses here it seems it wasn't that easy to reac a consensus here either :) The reason I votet +1 is because I _really_ hate how WP is handling this. A MU install demands different emails for every user. Sure you can use a gmail and use +1,+2 and so on but it just feels stupid. "Our society of information requires us to memorise way too much information. What is my nick here? The usual one? Well, maybe I took this one here because I remember it was taken on this site - or was it on the other one?" Habari is not, and will probably never be, a community site. Your nick will most likely always be free. "Change the user creation system so that if a person attempts to create an account using an e-mail already in the DB they are presented with a dialog that says something along the lines of "An account with that e-mail address already exists. If you wish to create another user with the same e-mail address, the new user will not be able to login using the e-mail address. Do you wish to continue?" This allows the user to: A) Decide they're okay with only logging in via username B) Use a different e-mail address C) Realize they've already established an account on the site and login rather than creating a new user. " That introduces two different flows a user can follow and could potentially confuse users However if your email is already taken it's most likely already used by you :). And the user that cannot understand that (s)he can't use the same "identifyer" for multiple accounts will probably not be able to create an account anyway... Counting the votes we're +1 in total with at least one new suggestion. I suggest we close this vote and let BigJibby code whatever solution he feels like. How's in favor? I vote +1 on that... -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev
