What do you all think about adding a switch to the SSO settings to disable the automatic “trusting” of email addresses. That is, forcing users to activate their discourse account when it is created via SSO.

Right now I think the assumption is that the email verification is done by the provider, and so it can be skipped in discourse. However, we run an ecommerce store and email validation on account creation would negatively impact conversion.

I’m going to spend a little time trying to get into the code base today, but let me know if you think this would be an acceptable addition (or if I shouldn’t bother).
