Is there an extension that puts e.g. a captcha on the user register page (not just edit)?
"ConfirmEdit" has helped a long time against those spammers.
But since some weeks there's a robot which first gets an account
Are they passing the captcha to create the account?
and then changes the main page - very nasty.
Protect the main page? Install AbuseFilter and add a filter that automatically stops them and block the account if their first edit is to edit the main page?
