They killed captcha support in 0.18, which basically negates one of the methods to stop the bots... so if we upgrade, we will likely need to email verification until 0.18.1 is released OR stay on 0.17.4 until 0.18.1 is released where they've promised to bring it back.

The release notes recommend to wait until 0.18.1 if you rely on captchas

There don't seem to be any major features in 0.18.0 so I think we should stay

off topic: I just need to thank you for asking your community before making changes (imagine the world if u/spez asked the reddit community if the API should be monetized)
