  1. -1. Too many spammers have signed up with Facebook / Google / Twitter /etc. Allowing new registrations based on existing logins from social sites will open your site up to tons of spam.

  2. @laie_techie .. well why not just add captcha to it like any other registration form ... Social networking logins eliminate the need to verify a new account, so people would not need to go to there inbox and click the activation link.. which annoys me let alone my users.

  3. I would agree, it's becoming a norm to allow social network logins/postings nowadays.. it should atleast ba an OPTION for forum owners..

  4. This is the most important development for the success of mybb and to compte with its other counterparts. The spam coming through social network signup is very minimal and would be equal if it is not implemented too. So let the admin choose which login system to implement ib there forum, but at least mybb should be having this option. This is a thing what other forums such as vanila etc are boasting off. And we poor mybbians dont have that ! Please some one make singlesign on with facebook, google, twitter and wordpress too !
