Hey Niko,

Do you have any suggestions or plans re the way j15 handles user creation via 3rd party components such as k2,easy blog, virtuemart etc. Obviously atp cant lock them down, curious on your plans if any re that. I have some solutions, however not ideal.

Hi!

Unfortunately, each of the components you mentioned (and many more you didn't) use arbitrary ways to handle user creation. However, the only create front-end users so they remain outside the scope of ATP. I have tried (and partly succeeded) adding a CAPTCHA to K2, but it required core modifications. Since modifying core files is a big no-no (not to mention it's strictly forbidden by JED rules) I consider this a non-solution, therefore I am not going to implement anything like that in ATP.
