  • Before doing so, though, I wanted to ask if there was any formal policy or rule for the community that could help cut down on thr spam, and if so, what would be most useful for me to do when I see a spam post? That I’d, is the Report button the right tool, is there some other way to let moderators know?

    Rule 7 as stated in the sidebar of this community: “No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.”

    So yes. Use the report tool and downvote it to oblivion.







  • Ghost needs emails for a couple of reasons.

    1. (Required) Ghost does not do user passwords. They use magtic links, which they send out via email when signing in. It’s just how they have chosen to do it. You can ask them why they don’t want to save passwords.

    2. (Optional) Ghost has a newsletter function. If you enable it, you need to setup a bulk email service, like Mailgun. Even regular SMTP won’t really work there. It can send out a newsletter everytime a blog post is published, so the members will get notified.

    I recently had to do this email dance with a Ghost instance setup, where most of the email ports are blocked on the network. I know how you feel. I also wanted to just use passwords, but not currently possible with Ghost.

    Other services might do the same as Ghost. I do host many services, that does not require email setup though.
