Require Emails When Signing Up

Problem

Bots can simply create infinite accounts because we don't force creation verification. Also how to contact users?

Solution

Require email verification. Ensuring that the email used is indeed a valid one.

Tasks

• Setup a mail server which is used only for email verification
• Check if the email is valid according to specifications
• Check if it's one of the few allowed email addresses (gmail, yahoo, proton, etc...)
• Finally do the expensive mail server check.

Even if emails aren't validated it would still be a required addition since the users who are truthful will have some contact point available.
