This issue is for brainstorming ways that we could prevent users creating many new crates by using a script, rather than the current method that is banning the account when we notice someone is already doing this.
/user
does returncreated_at
, meaning when the GitHub account was created. We could use this to restrict what new GitHub accounts are able to do, such as only allow X new crates published until the account is Y days/months old, or making the rate limit for new crates created by new GitHub accounts something very low (1 new crate per day?)Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
