adding info that limiting of email domains helps too.
default changed in 1.9.x, the lang string changed in 1.8x too
please add better text suggestion if needed and reopen thanks everybody Still to do: Add warning to Moodle Docs
oh, sure, could you please do that Helen?
hmm, maybe Koen should notify translators to update langs too - seems important
No problem re. adding a warning to Moodle Docs. I'll do so before closing this issue.
Re. notifying translators about updating the lang string, I suggest the best way is to rename the lang string (see rule 15 in the coding guidelines http://docs.moodle.org/en/Coding Maybe it is not necessary to rename these strings in this case, because it is just an improvement - the new text is correct for all previous versions, the old one is not necessary at all.
I tested this with a fresh install and the option to disable email based self-registration defaults correctly to disable. I noticed that tsala was listed as the official person for QA so I am not closing it at this time but my +1 for closing it. Peace - Anthony
Warning added to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Authentication
 and http://docs.moodle.org/en/Email-based_self-registration

Disable email signup in new installation - add danger warning
Here are mine:
configforceloginforprofiles:
This setting forces users to login using their account in order to be able to view the personal profiles of other users. If this setting is disabled, it results in the possibility of spammers using personal profiles for posting spam, since they are visible to the whole world.
selfregistration_help:
If an authentication plugin, such as email-based self-registration, is selected, then it enables potential users to register themselves and create accounts. This results in the possibility of spammers creating accounts in order to use forum posts, blog entries etc. for spam. To avoid this risk, self-registration should be disabled.  |
