In the current state of the standard enabling In Band Registration means anyone can create an account, even a bot.

Workarounds

One of the common workaround is to disable inband registration and provide web registration as an alternative. The web registration can fill the database with the proper registration information. The script can control that:

  • User is not a bot.
  • Check that the email address is valid
  • Moderate registration, etc

Improvements to the In Band Registration standard

We are currently working on improvements to the existing In Band Registration standard.

The following requirements will need to be meet:

  • Ability to check that email address is valid.
  • Ability to control that the registration is not automated by a bot.
  • Registration moderation.

Generic mecanisms

Support in the server for the XAAI Blacklist is also useful.
