Do users have to enter email address when registering
Hi,
I want to allow users to register without having to enter an email address. Is this possible?
Thanks

Do users have to enter email address when registering
Knowledge Base - Custom Profile Fields as an Anti-Spammer Tool
That might help.
Use the method at the bottom to add a code to the system, and provide that code localy off the forum for use.
I would suggest that as an email is required to be entered, you change the settings to allow the use of the same email account for multi registrations (perhaps providing a dummy local email account for that use), set the system to NOT check for SPF records and change the registration activation to none.
That would allow them to use fictitious email accounts (or that dummy one).
You would then be relying on the code to hold any spammers out. Remember you can change the code at any time if it starts to get abused.

Yes, but it's tricky. Also, they'll never receive the activation email, so you'll have to plan for that.

Thanks for the responses.
The forum is to be used by employees of an organization for anonymous feedback, so I wanted to have a code, known only to employees, that would activate an account instead of an email address.
An odd request, I guess.
Thanks
