I think when an user register in a JForum, the user can immediately use the forum (JForum did not check his email first)

I forsee a problem where the user may supply a Not-His-Own email. And since the "Send notify when a reply is post" is checked by default, the JForum may be used to spam users.

So I propose a feature when the user will receive an email after he register. Then he have to click on a link in the received email to authenticate. Only then, can he post using his logged name.

Hi Rafael & Pieter,

Well, actually my forum is nearly completed. But regarding the a/m feature, do you still want it? Because if this feature needs the user to click a link on the email, before his user account can be activated. And jforum seems to be going towards having easy integration with an external system. So not sure how this feature will eventually fits into jforum when pieter adds in the option for single login with an external system. :roll:

I think this needs to be made a bit more generic, in that there could be several different regsitration implementations. On our site we require all registrations to be approved by the admins, due to the problems of multiple handles and posters who refuse to stay banned.

Of course, I've yet to see one of Rafael's implementations that isn't modular and well abstracted anyway, but I'd just like to point out that there could (will be!) alternate requirements for how registration is handled.

It would be cool if someone writes a component for avoiding automatic registration via scripting - the good old solution that generates a picture with some random letters and numbers in a noisy background, to avoid being interpreted by an OCR program. (It requires a X-server in Unix machines, or -Djava.awt.headless if using JDK 1.4).

Indeed. For near future versions we plan to have this feature. If you know a component that does that, please let us know!

It is capable to do such things. But its too large for it. Maybe another Graphic toolkit?
