Account creation

[Seth Lohr]

Apologies on my part.

Having re-read the https://gitlab.isc.org/users/sign_in page multiple times, I now realize that it might be inferring that "disabled temporarily" means no new accounts will be created, at all.  Some of my confusion came from the following paragraph:

"Accounts with no legitimate activity will be blocked after a day and deleted after a week. You need to participate right away after you open the account. Open an issue, comment on issue, or enable 2fa to prevent your account from being blocked and deleted."

^ that paragraph inferred to me that account creation can still happen.

But - it seems to me now that it's not the case since this list isn't intended to be used for creating an account.

Feel free to abandon this thread, unless my above conclusions are incorrect.

Again, apologies for the confusion and misuse of the list.

"Self-registrations have been disabled temporarily because of high amount of spam accounts. If you need to reach us during this period, please reach out to the bind-users<https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users> or kea-users<https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/kea-users> mailing lists."

The hyperlink for 'bind-users' is https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

If I missed documentation on https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users that specified something other than mailing this list, please let me know.

Sorry, but why (ab)use the user list for this purpose?
