ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/KTLO-1/members-spam-signups - Some customers are seeing many spammy signups ("hundreds a day") — our hypothesis is that bots and/or email link checkers are able to signup by simply following the link in the email without even loading the page in a browser. - Currently new members signup by clicking a magic link in an email, which is a simple GET request. When the user (or a bot) clicks that link, Ghost creates the member and signs them in for the first time. - This change, behind an alpha flag, requires a new member to click the link in the email, which takes them to a new frontend route `/confirm_signup/`, then submit a form on the page which sends a POST request to the server. If JavaScript is enabled, the form will be submitted automatically so the only change to the user is an extra flash/redirect before being signed in and redirected to the homepage. - This change is behind the alpha flag `membersSpamPrevention` so we can test it out on a few customer's sites and see if it helps reduce the spam signups. With the flag off, the signup flow remains the same as before. |

Love open source? We're hiring DevOps engineers to work on Ghost full-time.
The easiest way to get a production instance deployed is with our official Ghost(Pro) managed service. It takes about 2 minutes to launch a new site with worldwide CDN, backups, security and maintenance all done for you.
For most people this ends up being the best value option because of how much time it saves — and 100% of revenue goes to the Ghost Foundation; funding the maintenance and further development of the project itself. So you’ll be supporting open source software and getting a great service!
Quickstart install
If you want to run your own instance of Ghost, in most cases the best way is to use our CLI tool
npm install ghost-cli -g
Then, if installing locally add the local flag to get up and running in under a minute - Local install docs
ghost install local
or on a server run the full install, including automatic SSL setup using LetsEncrypt - Production install docs
ghost install
