Overview
Bad actors have recently ramped up their abuse of the organization creation feature. This appears to be for SEO spam purposes, and it has become a problem to the point of having a significant impact on the Modrinth platform, forcing us to temporarily disable organization creation and take measures against it.
This PR is the first of those measures: it makes organizations not publicly visible until they fulfill a set of criteria that demonstrates they serve a legitimate purpose.
Because this PR makes spam organizations virtually useless, as they won't be publicly visible anymore, we expect malicious activities related to them to decrease significantly. For this reason, I've decided to re-enable the organization creation frontend as a part of it, minimizing disruption to legitimate users.
