@mckinley@twtxt.net He’s signed up three times now even though I keep deleting the account, which is enough for me to permaban this person. I don’t technically want open registrations on my pod but up till now I’ve been too lazy to figure out how to turn them off and actually do that, and there hasn’t been a pressing need. I may have to now.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Thank you for using Lyse’s Unofficial Yarnd Help Desk: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/yarnd-disable-registrations.png

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You can also use -R=false on the command line or leave it out entirely. When explicitly stating -R=false, there has to be an equal sign. With a space (-R false) it’s somehow parsed as -R which is equivalent to -R=true. O_o Very weird. I’d really like to see an error instead.

I still have to figure out the precedence of the settings.yaml or command line arguments. I’m probably holding it wrong, but it seems to give me different results…

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Interesting. The yarnd --help currently says (for me):

  -R, --open-registrations            whether or not to have open user registgration

meaning it doesn’t give the default setting or warn you that you need to use -R=false and not -R false. It also leaves unclear whether --open-registrations false would work or if you need to do --open-registrations=false. It’s also unclear whether the setting change in the user interface is overridden by the command line arguments, overrides the command line arguments, is persisted across restarts.

Maybe all this is worth posting an issue for additional documentation on the git repo if there isn’t one already.

“registgration” is misspelled that way in the help by the way.
