Anivar, I merely informed about the situation. This is a technical decision taken by the chapter member who is volunteering for spam control. Both EC and I saw the merit in this decision as spam was going out of control. Please note that only direct on wiki registration by the user has been disabled. A new user account can still be created if anyone drops a mail to membership(a)wikimedia.in So far, we haven't received any request to create a new user account. Any such request will be immediately taken care of. Chapter wiki new user account creation is open to public and not limited to chapter members alone.
