matt,

If you're a , please please please enable support. There are notes on how in the thread linked below.

I know it's more of a burden for some instances, but please also consider turning on registration approvals.

Both options really do help with the problem.

How do invitation links interact with these settings?

Do accounts created with an invitation link need approval? Is a captcha displayed during the account creation process when an invitation link is used?

matt,

@tcely I know that invitation links bypass closed registrations, but I've never tested how they interact with capcha or approvals.

My expectation is that neither would be bypassed by invitations.

I would be unwilling to turn these features on as long as they both hurt accessibility and increase the workload for administration.

Hopefully, a way to both block spam and delegate approval to the existing instance community is available before the next spam campaign.
