[p2pu-dev] Login requirement to post to challenges

[Dirk Uys]

Hi Jane

I haven't really thought about anonymous comments before.

Currently user accounts doesn't require you to confirm your email address,
so theoretically you can create an account with a pseudo username and email.

I think there are other issues we need to consider. Maybe raise the issue
with the community and hear what other people think?

Cheers
