If we find a solution through the upstream/update, then OK.
If not, then we could disable (at least for now) the social media sign
ups, the most possible responsible for such activity, Twitter, FB, yahoo.
We could keep the FAS, Google, openID and also an independent account
could be handy for people who don't want to associate social media with
AskFedora.
