In my very slow but ongoing effort to make a fully functional website based on noteself, I need a way for people to sign-up.
Obviously, I don't want it to be able to abused by scripts to automatically create new accounts. There are only two solutions I know of for this, neither is what I consider to be "nice". Option 1 is the classic captcha. I think I can leverage the Google service, although I've not tried. Personally I hate captchas. And they keep getting worse. Option 2 is the even more classic, give me your e-mail address and I'll send you a link in the e-mail to continue/confirm. This one is starting to run into some privacy laws (either by calling e-mail addresses personally identifiable information or with various do-not-contact-without-approval rules). Is anyone aware of any dead-easy and very-low resource options for checking the validity of a sign-up? Note: at present the "web server" I'm using can barely handle PHP (as in the store.php script is causing issues). As step one is more of a proof of concept for me, I may simply make this a "send me a private message" sign-up but I would like a viable long-term option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
