Hi all,

Due to a recent up-tick in spam activity, we have started enforcing two-factor authentication on gitlab.haskell.org. We hope that this isn't too much of a burden, but do let us know if so and we can evaluate other options.

Hi all, Due to user response we have reverted the two-factor authentication requirement and will instead manually review new account creations for now. Do feel free to ping either Matt, Andreas, or I via IRC or email if you attempt to create an account and your request sits unapproved for more than an hour or two. Hopefully in the near term we will be able to able to find less onerous way of dealing with the growing spam problem. Cheers, - Ben
