Add the ability to register new accounts

[ezrael-git]

The official Discord client is able to register new accounts - I wonder if you could implement a similar feature in the library?

For obvious reasons, the auth endpoints are very heavily restricted and can have a variety of issues (flags, ip bans, etc.).

I made some progress in the auth folder of v1.x, but when it gets ported to 2.0 it probably won't have any registration capability as it is way too hard to maintain (especially when it's open source).

Can't you just implement a maintained third-party library for the authorization? This way, users using discord.py-self will be able to register new accounts, and at the same time you wouldn't have to maintain the authorization system.

In that case, users can just import that library themselves? The issue isn't with making a register method, but maintaining it. When projects that are clearly in violation of ToS are open source, organizations have full access to see how things work, any bypasses, etc.

It's simply not worth the effort, but, if you think you're up to the challenge, you could try making your own asynchronous library for account creation.
