Validating accounts

Im new to ruby on rails and i have been f开发者_JAVA百科ollowing The Rails Space book to build a social network the problem is that i know from Experience if you dont put in a validator or something you get a ton of fake accounts!

I work better from Examples that i can cut and paste/edit to work with my site i just can seem to find any examples!

If you are setting up an authentication system with Rails, I recommend you look at Devise (Railscast episode).

Among other things, Devise features email confirmation out of the box.
