[Mediawiki-l] spam attack avoids captcha

[Sarel Wessels (Agri Wiki)]

At this stage I've blocked the function for users to create accounts 
themselves... They complete a form on the website, and I receive an 
email, then I create the account for them. Before I create the account, 
I normally contact them to determine if they are a genuine prospective 
users... It seems to be working for me, but I have to mention that I do 
not receive a lot of requests to create an account as my site is not a 
high traffic website at this stage.
