Hi,

We seem to have some trouble with many spammers. Can we do something to prevent them to get an account?

For example, we could let users reconfirm their wish to get an acount by email, There are several possibilities, see e.g. [1], [2]. --Ulf Rehmann 23:44, 20 January 2012 (CET)

Typical solutions tend to be broken by newer spambots. Something like this could be more effective. --Boris Tsirelson 07:56, 21 January 2012 (CET)
