Versageek <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #16 from Versageek <[email protected]> 2011-03-31 14:50:22 UTC --- Not sure it matters here, but we've gotten a complaint from a user about privacy issues associated with an automatic account creation and logging thereof. ( OTRS Ticket 2011032810013434 for those with access to OTRS ). In this case, there was no entry in the new users log, but user name along with the date/time of the creation appears in the user list <slight sarcasm> If we're going to include the date/time of account creation in the user list, we might was well put the auto-created users the new user log too, the impact on user privacy is the same </slight sarcasm> I concur with CoE and JMV, that account creation should only happen when a user does a write action. It's really the only practical way to adhere to our own privacy policy. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
