| May 4, 2017 at 18:12 | comment | added | Ray | regarding: BP XProfile WordPress User Sync - we don't care if people use aliases, I think that's something we'd actually encourage. This plugin looks like it adds some admin overhead. Is there any reason I shouldn't just ignore this and stick to BuddyPress/BP XProfile WordPress User Sync? | |
| May 4, 2017 at 17:20 | comment | added | Ray | Reading about BuddyPress has been helpful - have an associate who has used it, we're debating if it fits in what we're doing. The troll account problem is this: both completely fake registrations for non-existent emails, and unvalidated registrations for people who do not wish to participate. We know how rough political advocacy & campaigns get, we're trying to solve for that before we add our first live users. | |

Still might not help deal with troll accounts, but even using one of those email validator services (they check that a box actually exists, not just that format if valid) might be helpful. Something like verifalia.com/validate-email (not a recommendation, just a quick google search result). Still, anyone can create a real gmail account for trolling purposes. So, just some thoughts, but not really a solution I guess. | |

| May 3, 2017 at 17:42 | comment | added | Ray | This stuff is interesting, passed it on to our other people so they can see it, too. But this doesn't seem to fix my fundamental problem - I don't want people to be able to do anything until they prove they own the mailbox they're using to register. The environment we work in will always have some degree of trolling, being able to sign up any email and start doing stuff would quickly be found and abused. | |
