Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/31

spam bots might register users (and after email roundtrip) add hosts/domains.

different solutions to avoid that come to mind:

use recaptcha (owned by google) - privacy / UX / accessibility?
use akismet?
use honeypot?

@Serverfrog commented on GitHub (Nov 6, 2017):

If its an Option, that could be something like CoinHive.
With the Captcha Option one could do

Spam Bots have maybe no JavaScript enabled -> no access
They could not register many URL's because of the Load the received
Some of them even refuses to spam then (too much load)
you could generate some cryptocoins in the process so the financial part ( #294 ) get some benefits to that
