Mantra, mon joli mantra, dis moi qui est la plus belle ?

[Jody Garnett]

 A popular alternative, and one available as a default in the discourse
software we started using, is to trust email addresses from specific
domains.
A university or employer email address would serve the same purpose: do we
have someone we can contact about your behaviour if needful?
We could start by trusting domain names from osgeo partners (for example).

Such a thing would not help folks using hotmail or gmail, but it would be
something.
