Overview

Allow option for WriteFreely instances to require an email when signing up.

Background

Brought up by CarbonTwelve, an admin for Wordsmith Social. He mentioned it in this post:

For various philosophical reasons WriteFreely doesn't require an email address upon new account registration. Aside from the obvious issues with password resets that I have already tended this also makes it difficult for platform admins to inform users of events happening on their account such as moderation decisions.

I feel that this should be a configurable option that instance admins can toggle to enable/disable email address requirement upon sign-up.

Implementation

Configurable option that instance admins could toggle?

Design

TBD
