Well, I did kind of expect that *some* spam would come through. However, what I noticed based on your signal is that I am not getting a notification about newly created projects and that it's therefor hard to monitor activity on our instance.

 

Removing the user *and* these repositories was extremely easy: one click of a button by an administrator (which includes me).

 

We can set the number of projects people can create to 0 (zero). That means that everybody who creates an account without further verification will not be able to create a repository of their own. However, that may then result in spam tickets or spam snippets being created ...

 

Thanks! The first step would be to identify how we can be notified of any new repositories which are being created or how we can identify users who would like to have the ability to create a new repository. We can work from there to see about the queue. I don't think there is one built-in with GitLab at the moment...
