It appears there's not a need to roundtrip through email to verify, so.. like: userid: bernhard.ebbers@wcom.com passwd: pickagreatonehere and.. go along to the map to do your searchings ? On Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 4:26 PM Mehmet Akcin <mehmet@akcin.net> wrote:
We've tried this, disabled google because the spam came from 1000s of Gmail accounts actually, also had the same issue with Facebook end disabled that.. it's not like we are not trying to solve this, one idea was to create an account demo/demo and let people just login with that without requiring registration but then the problem is we have no way of tracking buy capacity requests... i am sure we just need a web developer help us ;) thinking this as network engineer isn't really the best way to come up with a solution

Well,
I think some are "way too angry" over this. ( I think there is more pressing issues to get angry about first, don't you think? )
Like the Mehmet said, that's the solution implemented at the moment. While my plate being full, Google reCcaptcha v3, could be a easy fix for someone with some time on its hand.
Or why not simply Joe Doe the form with a throwaway email instead...
Happy friday. ( Its friday right? )

I am sure there are lots of room to improve. I appreciate everyone supporting it. If you want to look at the code and help implement a way to block spam bots, without overloading the system, I would be interested to help.
No we will never share email, name, etc.
Be more up-front then. Every opinion I've expressed has been from opening the URL from the link and not liking what has happened when I've tried to use the site.
As it stands this does not look like a good for the Internet website ("for engineers by engineers") in the same vein as Wikipedia, PeeringDB, etc., and it's less functional than the other cable maps because of the forced redirects.
It looks (and sounds from this thread) as a way to net some referral bank on inquiries to these "partners", whom also apparently dictate how you structure the site, and how you collect personal data.
