New User Flood

I guess that would be fine for a few days, but if someone's willing to go to that trouble, why not just implement one of the solutions that have already been proposed, such as deleting accounts that only post with external links in their first few days, or your suggestion to have a hidden textbox that must be left blank?

That's true. I would do it, but I don't have shell access. So we have to wait for one of the senior admins.

Account creation temporarily disabled while I investigate what the best solution will be (starting with taking a close look at the server logs from the bad attempts)

Oh thankyou. That big list of names on the change log was causing me grief (and it made the atom feed about useless). Let's hope that this stall them for awhile. It isn't like they were able to post anyway, but the registration itself was getting annoying.

Thanks for the changes. It is nice to see only relevant changes in the log.

Yeah, thanks for doing that. The recent changes page looks a lot better.
