Re: I would like to disable Email activation
Just to clarify, I’m not in favour of disabling email activation, either. The spam you’d be getting would kill your site.
However, the site I was doing this for does not allow users to post status updates in the conventional form. The site is an anonymous image sharing site. Users need to be registered to submit an image, but they needn’t be registered as themselves. Every user has the option of using [username]@domain.ext as their email address if they choose to stay anonymous.
Status updates are replaced by img tags to the uploaded image. Yes, they could spam in activity comments, but I guess that’s a risk that had to be taken. Until someone figures out how to use akismet on those comments too…
