Is there a way to enable double opt-in for user account registration?
 
   
  
 
 
Specifically, is there a way to set up registration so that users have to respond to an email from the site before their account becomes active?
 
Apparently this is a requirement for websites hosted in Germany.
 
Thanks!

It appears that compatible functionality may have been added in Askbot 0.7.44. Per the Changelog:
 
0.7.44 (Nov 11, 2012)
• "Optional restriction to have confirmed email address to join forum (Evgeny)"

 
I'll need to test this feature to make sure it works as I expect, and confirm with someone who understands German better than I that this follows the rules... :-)
