Description
Gary in IT had some good suggestions for tightening security on the CBOX demo site (which is currently in limbo as we await discussion of where it should be placed):
1. Maybe a robust CAPTCHA would suffice to keep out the bots?
2. Can we check the validity of the email used to register?
3. Can we limit the number of registrations from a given source IP per time period?
The captcha seems like an easy implementation and #3 seems worthwhile if there is an easy way to do it. I think WP already does 2, though I'm not sure what Gary means by "validity"
